Regular readers will not be surprised to learn that General Ashley has given the go-ahead to his legal divisions.
I had stated here recently on several occasions that the Sports Direct people were preparing court action.
As previously reported, it was my evidence-based belief that he would choose his moment before moving against the Sevco car boot retail operation.
Well, he has given the order.
Elite Sports and Hummel are now also in the frame for this.
The court date of April 12 is, I am told, rather close to season ticket renewal time.
I would imagine that any future move to ring-fence funds at Sevco would be unwelcome in the Blue Room.
Judge Lionel Persey noted that Sports Direct alone had budgeted for more than £400,000 in legal bills.
Once more General Ashley is demonstrating that he hasn’t gone away you know.

If Big Mike runs out of money, we could always crowd fund him. The pleasure would be all ours. HH
Can only hope that expression in the picture above on the lying kings face isn’t ecstasy,YUK,it’s enough to put you off your corn beef n cabbage.
Let’s hope Big MASH tears a hole in their finances that leaves the the rank ship sevco on a one way trip to Davie Jones’s locker,never to be seen again.
Feel good Friday Phil XLNT🍀tyvm
Phil; a little confused by the article. Has the 400k from the case back in Oct/Nov been paid to Ashley yet? Also, is this new court case on top of that previous one, and so, would the 400k that is referenced for that be in addition to the award in the first case (assuming he wins again?
They say that a picture paints a thousand words and I must say, the image of Mike Ashley at the end of this succinct article, fair paints a picture of a man whom is more than aware of the implications of his actions. Funny that, because if Dave King and all at Ibrox had paused for legitimate thought and sought to make rationale decision, adopted a tactical mindset and planned for all eventualities rather than diving from one disastrous haphazard situation to another, they could have navigated a much easier path – a less taxing approach , or is that too insensitive a phraseology?! They have made many enemies and have tanks lining up all around them. There’s only ever so many fronts you can effectively fire-fight upon…resources are finite at every organisation. There’s something rather Pyrrhic about all that has happened to-date.
That photo is about 7 years old..,,
I’m sure big Mike will have a much bigger grin on his face come April.
Tsk ! Tsk ! See that ‘bully ” Ashley , he needs to stop persecuting that wee club Sevco . What have they ever done to him ?
…..apart from reneging on the contract they signed with him ….and calling him every name under the sun because he wins every court case against them …. and selling their gear at the ‘Barras’ when told by the courts not to ….and backing their criminal chairman in every lie he tells about Big Mike …
