BananaMan 63 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Are sports Direct any better than JJB?JJB has been going downhill for years and have been closing a lot of shops. Sports Direct have a better range of stuff imo. Pretty much the same price wise Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and True 311 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 to be honest I had always thought of sports direct as a bit down marketBut then Ive only been in a few times its like The House of Sher for trainers If they can increase our retail sales then great but we need to get RANGERS shops back in some high profile locations.

Back2BackChampions 31 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 Tbh the sauce was from a manager of a JJB, who said the stores had received an emailing outlining what's happening with regards to it all..Makes no real difference as it'll always be rangers megastore.Thing that stuck out for me was saying itd be changed for Sunday. Thought he might of been talking shite as it seems a quick changeover of merchandise sponsorship Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHAMPS4LIFE 86 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 they should call the Rangers specific stores Rangers Direct with the Sports direct fittings and replace the sports in the sign with Rangers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCDBigBear 10,825 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Just received an e-mail from JJB offering discounted merchandise until midnight on Sunday. I would expect any re-branding to take place after that, if it is happening at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM1872 3,708 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 For the people saying Sports Direct is a bit low market (2011 figures):JD Sports - Revenue: £883,700,000 (eight hundred and eighty three million, seven hundred thousand), Operating Income: £79,900,000, Net Income: £55,900,000Sports Direct - Revenue: £1,599,200,000 (effectively £1.6bn), Operating Income: £134,700,000m, Profit: £83,200,000JJB Sports - Revenue: N/A, Operating Income: £46,400,000, Net Income: £34,600,000Yes, the brands on offer might not be as high quality in Sports Direct, e,g. Lonsdale and the like, but Mike Ashley isn't daft and with last year's revenue at £1.6bn compared to the competitors it's hard to see any negatives from having him on-board with the new regime and Sports Direct as our shops instead of JJB who, let's face it, are near the bottom of the slippery slope.

SD own Lonsdale, Wilson, Karrimor whilst JD own Benzini. That may be a reason Ashley is investing as he has a history of owning/part owning the brands that he sells. Can only see it being a good thing as they are pushing JJB over the edge.And JJB's American investor has written off their share in JJB do expect more hard times ahead.
