Mike Ashley 'in talks to buy HMV'

Oh great, fireftrap next to Florence and the machine and Lonsdale next to Linkin Park! No thanks

Something about a broken record...

Can he sell his shit sports gear in there

Cant rememeber the last time i went into hmv. Probably was around the time the last time there was some decent music in the charts. So not in the last 10 years.

Hmv to play upfront with house of Fraser

If this means it will stay alive, I'm all for it. HMV shouldn't die. Hope Mike Ashley can take it over.

spurshottotty Any chance he could buy dfc?

Buying all the shite up has got to prove to be proven a flawed strategy at some point.

He'll turn them into gaming cafés

Very sad for HMV if he gets his hands on it.

So that's where the transfer money is going...

No suprise, will do the same as with EvansCycles . Close half the store, keep the profitable stores and renegotiate new tenant agreements with landlords. Copy, paste, repeat!

Hope he saves FOPPofficial too 🤔

Soon Mike Ashley will own all the high street retailers 😊

well thats another shop to avoid for my life SportsDirectUK houseoffraser

With all the spare space in House of Fraser stores he could put hmv in there and save on rent

Newcastle Utd players be 2 for £10 at HMV soon.

Not sure Mike Ashley is the right person for HMV, However if he saves all the jobs at HMV that’s a plus.

I know this is bad but I used to call it HIV when I was younger lol

Can imagine towns and cities with a house of fraser and a hmv, hmv will move in to them?

Mike Ashley is going to end up competing with himself!

I’d rather see HMV die than see it in the hands of that Sports Direct bastard

members of mike Ashley's immediate family will be receiving old REM cd's and led zeppelin swan song t shirts next christmas

Mike Ashley is that person you play monopoly against and buys one of each so no one can complete a set

Makes sense

Or....HMV staff about to be sold down the river into job insecurity, zero hour contracts, poor wages, and crap hours while fat Mike sits on his pile.

Can someone photoshop a big HMV mug plz. Thanks!

Why

Another load of people's lives destroyed by Ashley

Top drawer mate...I've always rated him..

Another shop for the mags to shout at! 🤣

Oh gawd he is going to fill it up with Lonsdale shit just like he did with House if Frazer

The fat controller buys up another business but fails to invest in the businesses he already owns i.e. Newcastle United.

His Master’s Invoice.

Incoming meltdown from the deluded NUFC fans

Perhaps he will resurrect Woolworths next.

Sounds like one of the worst businesses decisions in recent times. Anyone want to buy blockbusters In 2010?

Jack of all trades master of none. Mike Ashley.

Somebody needs to stop this megalomaniac before he turns al, our retail business into shops selling trainers! Never been an attractive businessman always seems to be looking at the main chance to asset strip - Competition Commission should be aware!!

Ashley the ambulance chaser!

I wonder what position he'll play at Newcastle United?

The only thing he won’t buy is a player for Newcastle

Looks like Newcastle are getting a copy of “What’s the Story Morning Glory” on CD upfront next season. Or perhaps a stack of vinyl in goal.

Should be thinking more about putting money into Newcastle Utd than propping up failing businesses

He needs to save the club he bought from relegation worries by buying new players or alternatively selling the club to someone who actually gives a damn and doesn't treat it as a commodity as he does, first.

Blockbuster next

Mike Ashley vs Amazon. Sky Box Office in 2022.

He’s taking over the high street that boy. At least Newcastle fans will have a cheap place to buy the season review DVD along with a pair of lonsdale socks

He’ll never let you buy in new CDs -don’t let him near!

Another property play?

For a second I thought it was Rick Astley & I thought they were getting “Rick Rolled.”

Got no money to buy players for his club though? Weird!

Another sports direct then

Mike Ashley is going to end up owning the entire high street.

Can he play centre mid?

He better not screw it up. HMV is a great store, and deserves to be treated well.

He'll buy anything but a footballer

He's a vulture, he'll pick their bones, ditch employees, try to hold landlords to randsom and generally be a tosser.

Why bother? Stores are failing model to sell a failing product (physical as opposed to digital music).

Who's next then?

I say ' Let's go to London ' then panicky buttons. Family Crest Librarian meddles in . BarackObama

Charģing battery .listening to jeff barkkeŕ rock n roll

Had the pleasure of buying some CDs at HMV Metrocentre a short while ago. Despite my contempt for Ashley it can only be a good thing where shops stay open and staff keep their jobs.

Good. The staff in the Staines store deserve to keep their job. They're great.

What a nice guy 😊

He’s buying up the high street like it’s a game of monopoly

BENEFITS_NEWS He needs to get out of Newcastle United then and let someone else buy it

Give him a season and he’ll get them relegated to HMV CD sales bargain bins in petrol stations.

Why?

Hopefully he keeps the stores separate because HMV has a great atmosphere and I'd hate to lose it. Seems like the lesser of two evils though. Either we have him run HMV or lose it forever.

Turning into a busy January for Mike, hope he gets it over the line. Jim White will be all over this and Sky Sports News will be outside HMV in Eldon Square keeping tracks.

HMV sale

[This Kills HMV]

Yet a new striker is out of the question

He buys retailers like a drunk buys shit on ebay

Instead of buying more stores invest in the football team you bought!!!!

Go same way as Debenhams

Haven’t bought music from there in years...and now I definitely won’t be buying music from their in future

How about you buy a player Mike!!!!!!!!!! NUFC Or sell Newcastle and you can buy every single shop on the high street!!!

£6 to pick up a CD from the store!

Who is Mike Ashley?

I’ll add them to Sports Direct and House of Fraser as companies I’ll buy nothing from out of principle then.

If Rafa wants the new chase & status album he’s gonna have to buy it himself.

Can’t wait to see some Lonsdale trackies whilst looking for music!

Of course he is 🤦‍♂️

I think Mike Ashley thinks he's playing a game of retail Monopoly

Lindisfarne CDs by the bucketload.

Nobody buys cds

hope they will do giant hmv mugs then

His quest for Mike Ashley high streets continues.

Can’t play striker
