from reading that investigative report, they have found out that Sports Direct run a lot of sales where the sales may not in fact be a sale. Yawn

Interesting viewing the working standards in warehouse seems harsh but in terms of prices while probably not entirely honest still makes money

They just sack people for the sake of it and pay them off if they challenge the decision.

Heatons owner Ashley eyes up Clerys site in expansion of Irish operations.

In Ireland Sports Direct owns 50pc of Heatons, which has 60 stores here and the British retailer has signalled its intention to buy out the remaining half, according to a report in The Irish Times.

When quizzed by the Irish Independent, a spokesperson for Heatons made no comment over the links between it and the Clerys site.

The Clerys site is currently owned by the Natrium Consortium, which bought it for €29m in June of last year.

Clerys closure in June led to the loss of 460 jobs and sparked numerous protests by shell-shocked workers.

The iconic site on Dublin's O'Connell Street entered into receivership before being scooped up by Natrium.

    Ashley also owns Cruise fashion and they are ****s to deal with . I bought some Lyle and Scott gear from them and it wasnt great quality. One the Polo shirts had a mark in it in the wrapper and a jumper I got looked like it was in a boil wash when I took it out . Never bought again out of Cruise

    Wouldn't be surprised, you know what Geordies can be like.

    If true then it is well out of order it's not like Sharon on the in the shoe section decides who Newcastle will sign...albeit the way Ashley and Charnley runs things one would never know

    Apparently sports direct staff have received obscene calls and abuse in e mails and  posts on social media.

    Be interesting to see how Ashley gets on with this.
     
     

    The Sports Direct boss Mike Ashley  has threatened legal action to remove Debenhams’ administrators after his stake in the department store group was wiped out and the company put into the hands of its lenders.

    Debenhams listed holding company entered pre pack administration on Tuesday, rendering shareholders’ investments, including Sports Direct’s near-30% stake, worthless.

    Just bought a pair of astro boots for about 50e.

    7e delivery - size 9

    The absolute state of them, they look like suede shoes and are miles too small. 

    Sending them back costs another 9e
