Newcastle Utd (and Viz)

Ooops.

Belgium tax blokes want £650m in unpaid taxes from Sports Direct, (or whatever they trade under there). Lob in the £150m he lost when Debenhams went wonky, thats a BMD sized hole in someones bank account.

...Sky Business reporter saying it’s one of the most remarkable stories he’s ever reported. One of the SD bigwigs has already resigned.

Wow. They delayed releasing the news and their accounts till after the Stock Exchange had closed today, which from my previous life, is very unusual, borderline dodgy even.

Share price will take a hit on Monday morning, which I assume will dilute Ashleys wealth, a lot.

Echoes of Phillip Green and BHS this.

The evil little capitist sh#t will probably screw some pension fund over, sack a load of workers or give a few brown envelopes to the Tories. That usually helps out dodgy businessmen.
To be fair though, is Ashley any worse than most EPL owners? You usually have to be some sort of sociopath to get that rich. They almost certainly haven't "earned" it.

He'll probably offer them store credit.

Could be sacked before Christmas.

Some of the usual suspects hope so.

Still Sports Direct here. Still terrible.

 

[Wayno]

Just been to watch these get beat 2-1 by Preston which was excellent.

New striker looks a handful though to be fair , he’s one of them that is just at everything , hassling the ref and winding up the home fans. Should have been booked for booting the ball away at one point , can see him scoring 10-15 in the premier league if he stays fit , and getting sent off a couple of times.

Rest of their team is gash though and their fans are appalling
