    Mike is going to be upset again after the shareholders in Sports Direct wouldn't give permission for him to receive a small fortune in shares. Apparently this was the 3rd attempt for his board to convince shareholders he was due the money. Full report here from BBC.

    Another bad day for Mike.

    Yesterday he lost in the Irish Courts to takeover Elverys Sports. After personally intervening and muscling in on a management buyout.

    What can go wrong tomorrow?

    Oh good, that means he'll just sell Colo, Krul, Tiote & Debuchy instead.

    There's talk of a buy one, get one free sale.

    That's the only way he can get rid of Obertan, Gosling, Cisse + Shola - if you want to buy either Tiote, Krul, Colo or Debuchy then you HAVE to take of those other four as well. Hopefully it will keep the vultures away from our 'purple' players.

    Looks like we'll be holding onto Tiote, Krul, Colo and Debuchy then.

    Small fortune? <yikes>

    I don't regard £73m as a small fortune!

    Nah, not true, but PSG will receive a giant SD mug when they buy Debuchy.

    Laws of relativity. It is compared to a wealth of £5.5bn.

    I'm sure they'll be happy with that. It'll look good in their Trophy Cabinet.

    Ca$hley is obviously p.ssed off today, maybe something to do with the shareholders stopping his £73 million pay out last week. Today he has sold £200 million pounds worth of shares in SD and as a result the company shares were devalued by nearly 5% making a loss of 6% in last 7 days.
    Could he be funding a massive purchase of players, I doubt it , or could he be buying Rangers, I hope.

    He just needs a bit loose change at hand.
    £200m would buy Scottish football, never mind Rangers.
    I think he has more pressing problems at the moment with his attempt to buy 11% of the House of Fraser chain.

    Didn't even know he was interested in the House of Fraser chain, maybe he's going to take it over so that it'll be easier for ACS to show his arse in the window.
