After all JD Sports is offering various channels of choice and no doubt wanting themselves positioned strongly into the 16-24 year old market as well. JD HY results RNS 2018: "Against a backdrop of widely reported retail challenges in the UK, it is extremely reassuring that the profitability in the UK and Ireland Sports Fascias has been further enhanced. This reflects the value of the investments that we have made over a number of years in developing a dynamic multichannel proposition which marries the best of physical and digital retail enabling customers to interact with us where and when they want and through the channel of their choice."

The Company operates a multi-channel model which combines a 60-strong store estate - in a variety of high street, mall and retail park locations in cities and towns throughout Great Britain - with a fast-growing eCommerce platform and a recently launched wholesale arm for distributing its own brand ranges via a network of partners. In FY17, the store estate accounted for 71 per cent. of revenue and eCommerce accounted for 29 per cent. Curious to see whether the eCommerce sales division will grow even further this year...

"As highlighted in the Company's Admission Document, Barry Bown has committed to join the Board as Executive Chairman on or around 1 June 2018. Barry has over 30 years' retail experience, most of which was gained at the JD Sports chain which he joined in 1984 and where he served as Chief Executive from 2000 until 2014. The new consulting role will enable Barry to work closely with the Company ahead of his formal appointment to the Board. The Board believes that Barry's extensive experience of building a listed retail business and his excellent relationships with many major brands will enable him to make a valuable contribution to the Company's leadership team."

and another £32k trade this morning !... almost similar to yesterday's... someone's loading up big time here...

cheers

sell or buy ? a large trade at least...

nice

And adding why has Barry Bown previously JD Sports joined Foot 9 months ago ? Talking about a strategic move...

Remember the massive buys @ premium price last week: 2,512,202 shares @ 70.00p = £1.759m 8,390,884 shares @ 75.00p = £6.293m

And the FY results RNS in June mentioned: " Barry Bown, former CEO of JD Sports Fashion plc, joined the Company in a consulting role on 1 March 2018 and joined the Board as Executive Chairman on 1 June 2018" Now why would he join Footasylum say 9 months ago ?

RNS Oct stated: "We are encouraged by the early results and trends that we are seeing from our investments in key areas such as digital and marketing, and see substantial opportunity for further progress across these and other parts of our operations. In the longer-term, we remain confident that the Company's differentiated, product-led, multi-channel proposition, combined with strong partnerships with core suppliers, will underpin our future progress."

Why don't we all buy some more shares collectively ?...

like a game of pacman

What sort of T/O price do you reccon ?

GLA today... free float getting smaller by the day :-)

understanding

After all this was £2.00 one year ago with the same amount of shares to my undetstanding (no dilution since then)

ft states 38.57m free float and 104.47m shares outstanding, but this seems outdated
