They have filed to apply for administrators to act on their loss making divisions, Original Shoe Company and Qube. JJB Sports itself isn't going into administration.

nowt wrong with that if your nearing retirement age and the redundancy package is good.

sadly, i fancy the package will be the legal minimum.

and im all for management leaving first, but preferably upper management as they are the ones who have helped to screw up the business, not the shop flor rank and file.

Latics will just stick VIZWEAR on the shirts until the end of the season.


As someone with a number of good friends within JJB - I hope they're ok
