On a slightly lighter note. I can't imagine Selfridges being to happy mentioned in the same text as SPD.The Rolling Stones said the same when there music was played at Donald Trump rally's across America .But that didn't turn out to be a disaster after all.

Just picked up on the last sentence .Don't know if that means there's further collaboration down the road.We'll have to wait and see.

As part of the Transaction, SRI will grant Sports Direct a royalty free licence to continue to use the Dunlop brand for premium workwear and safety wear for Sports Direct's own retail purposes. SRI has the option to acquire these rights in the future subject to certain mechanical conditions for US$12.5m. The parties will also enter into certain other commercial arrangements in relation to the supply of products to the Sports Direct core business.

I must state there can only be one winning answer. That could have been very expensive indeed for me.

VMYour allowed to enter.

I'll make it a £10. I've done 5 marathons and it ain't easy. All those early runs on a winters morning.... never easy :)

[nortic 007] 28/12/2016 02:37

I don't mess when it comes to charity so I mean what I say.

[nortic 007] 28/12/2016 02:30

TwelveFinchesGood morning to you.Looks like you've caught some of that Christmas cheer. With those kind of number I'd better start looking down my sofa for some extra funds.Like to know where you get the £2 figures from? How about I give you 250 for some know . Fancy your chances?

[nortic 007] 28/12/2016 02:19

DD I now know your true identity, you are actually VM . Whoever guesses correctly I will donate £5 to JustGiving as there must be someone out there doing the London marathon or some worthy cause for charity.Offer closes at 12 midday .

So what was it then?SPD do not own all of the Dunlop Slazenger brand rights. So the Dunlop Slazenger deal in 2004 for £42m was not inclusive of all brand rights/licences.In 2014 for instance, IBML (a division of SPD) bought the Australian and New Zealand Dunlop Slazenger brand rights from Pacific brands.Sumitomo already own the Dunlop rights for other markets.DD

[boonboon] 27/12/2016 22:43

They didn't buy Dunlop for £42 million. They bought Dunlop and Slazenger. As far as I can tell they've only sold the Dunlop brand and retain Slazenger. So the cagr will be way above 8%

Cheerful Charlie has spoken.

I await a price of sub 200p before purchasing any shares here.

[twelvefinches] 27/12/2016 21:37

These are set to fall drastically over the next few weeks as further investigations on this company are to be revealed, avoid.

[au24] 27/12/2016 21:24

:) Looking forward to a good charge tomorrow.

[nortic 007] 27/12/2016 15:58

This could be the start of some kind of business relationship between Sumitomo and SPD. I don't think this will be the last we hear from our ( acquisition hungry) Japanese friends.DD it's good to have you back you've been very quiet . Glad my post has woken the sleeping giant. I seems to me that whatever SPD is or becomes, high end of which they are striving for or low end,nothing pleases you.I don't see you on the JD. chat room.....strange. Do you own any share in any company or do you just go to the races and not have a bet??Au24 I'll get working on those lines :)

[discodave4] 27/12/2016 15:50

Sorry, meant 18p/sh and agree, NTAV a lot higher than value of underlying business.DD

[thevaluehunter] 27/12/2016 14:50

This is a good example of the huge value tied up on the sports direct balance sheet.

[discodave4] 27/12/2016 13:39

Dunlop brand, not been a bad return, bought it for £42m in 2004 and sold for £112m (about 8% cagr).Assume this is the start of their "selfridges" strategy, to re-focus on selling top end brands cheaper than anybody else, the complete opposite to the strategy that made them successful in the first place - buy up well known (but mediocre) brands and sell them loads cheaper than the likes of Nike, etc., thus giving the punter the impression they are getting fantastic value!. Now selling off the goose that laid the golden egg??.Dont think Addidas et al will oblige MA's fantasy IMO.DD

[haroldthegreat] 27/12/2016 12:24

They have another branch near by. Obviously not worth having them both open.

[nortic 007] 27/12/2016 12:18

He could get a his and her jet now ( If I can't laugh I'll only cry)

[nortic 007] 27/12/2016 12:15

Paid in $ . Maybe some kind of hedge. Does he run that $ position. So many questions . I guess there should be an RNS tomorrow ?

[nortic 007] 27/12/2016 12:10

Just thought it might make interesting reading whatever your view point is.
