Asset Turnover
About 2,200 staff at JJB Sports are to be made redundant after the sports clothes and equipment retailer was placed into administration. The administrators said they had managed to save 550 jobs after selling part of the business to Sports Direct.
JJB's High Street rival is buying the website and 20 of its stores, which will be rebranded Sports Direct. The remaining 133 JJB stores are to close immediately, the administrators KPMG said.
