        It does if the same person owns both companies. They can set rental figures at whatever they want. And I (And you) would do the same thing mate! Annoying yes but makes perfect sense

        He has to be careful though Neil of money laundering badging the store as #nufc and yet all good are from sports direct. Obviously the club still under investigation by HMRC this wouldn’t look good for mr Ashley, but take your point Neil

        It will probably be that he has a parent company that umbrellas all of his individual concerns. That's how the bigger companies overcome lots of legalities like this.

        They do to a point, but he’s got so many plates spinning it would be easy to make a mistake.. it would be interesting to see it blow up in his face

        Because Mike Ashley couldn’t ever be accused of greed. I feel sorry for those people who are facing redundancy.

        Landlords resisting the renegotiation of a lease mid term is not greed.

        Greed - coming from the vulture that avoided paying staff their dues by buying HoF out of admin on the cheap? He's a sulking brat. Landlords had contracts, if you can't afford the rent don't buy the business.
