SDI just bought all their UK stores. Funny they just went into admin an hour or so ago, then this happens. Almost planned.
Exactly, you'll never be able to boycott every shop he has shares in. Concentrate on the one that'll hurt most, Sports direct , and hammer him there.He owned a good chunk of shares before that
Also with Debenhams and Tesco....
He has his fingers in a lot of pies in the high street that’s for sure

Its absolute shite anyway and has been for many years
What, they had a menswear line named after the bloke that flew the Atlantic?House of Fraser has been of no use to me since they done away with their J.Lindeberg section in the menswear department anyway. F**k them.
If you think Ashley put up £90m to make a loss,then think again.Posted this on another thread:
Defunct business model now I’m afraid. Huge stores with huge business rates and rents. Heading for a fall especially when he turns them into JumbleSale.com. Hopefully he’s flushed £90m plus down the toilet.
Oh and and I don’t think any Bears will be rushing to shop there any time soon.

Shug Fraser would be turning in his graveGlasgow store is iconic part of Buchanan Street. Imagine having it turned into a jumble sale by that Fat tosser. Glasgow is famous for its shopping and it has just went massively downhill with that news.
Same here at least I will now finally unsubscribe from their annoying marketing emails.Great, my favorite shop is now off limits. Won't give that fat slug a penny
Do grown men really boycott a shop because of the owner
I saw a story down here weeks that they were in talks. HoF needed someone to buy and save them. Fat boy was the only one willing to do it.SDI just bought all their UK stores. Funny they just went into admin an hour or so ago, then this happens. Almost planned.

A friend of mine is a supplier to Ashley and has been for over 20 years and knows him well. It’s an ego thing with him. He would blow £90m or at least risk it to try and prove he’s the best retailer/a turnaround expert but IMO this ships not turning with that prick at the helm. Shame about the jobs but it will be a car crash at some point. Just hope Ashley keeps digging that hole.If you think Ashley put up £90m to make a loss,then think again.
No matter what we think of him,he won't be going anywhere fast in the near future.
What he's doing to us is a personal fight against King and to be honest,any boycott from us won't even pierce his business model.

No details on how he’s trying to %^*& them like ge fucked us yet. But expect stores to close and HoF online presence to go through the roof.

I would think,in this case,that the property values of some of the stores would make his investment a safe bet.A friend of mine is a supplier to Ashley and has been for over 20 years and knows him well.

Prada-Mark for you thenGreat, my favorite shop is now off limits. Won't give that fat slug a penny
Most stores are leased and any that are now owned by Ashley IMO are now white elephants. Look at how many BHS stores throughout the country are lying empty. The high street has changed beyond all recognition.I would think,in this case,that the property values of some of the stores would make his investment a safe bet.
The Glasgow store would be a prime property for flats or an upmarket hotel.No need to keep the properties in the retail sector.Most stores are leased and any that are now owned by Ashley IMO are now white elephants.

Same here. Used to live that shopGreat, my favorite shop is now off limits. Won't give that fat slug a penny
In one my man.I would think,in this case,that the property values of some of the stores would make his investment a safe bet.
He really is a fucking leech! Sonething needs to be done about that way of doing business with failing firms.Yeah, offered them money then removed the offer and picked them up for much less out of administration. Something he has history of as well
