Nike to buy Umbro in £285m deal Umbro, the maker of the England football team's kit, has agreed to be bought by US sportswear giant Nike in a deal worth £285m ($580m). Nike said the deal would allow it to "significantly expand" its presence in "a key growth category" for the firm. As well as providing kit for the England team, Umbro also supplies the kit for six Premier League clubs. The Football Association said Nike had assured it that the FA's relationship with Umbro would be protected. Manchester-based Umbro said last month that sales of England tops had been "disappointing", and analysts are concerned that sales could suffer if England fail to qualify for next year's European Championship. Defensive moves Speculation had been rising that Nike was set to launch a bid after Umbro said last week that it had received an approach about a possible offer. ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE CLUBS WITH UMBRO KIT Birmingham Blackburn Everton Sunderland West Ham Wigan See Umbro's share price On Friday, retailer JJB Sports bought a 10.1% stake in Umbro in a move to protect its stake in the market for England football shirts. The owner of rival retailer Sports World, Sports Direct International, already owns a 15% stake in Umbro. In addition to the England team, Umbro also provides kit for the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Norway, and Sweden. In the Scottish Premier League, Umbro supplies kit to Rangers and Hearts. 'Excellent deal' Under the terms of the offer, Umbro shareholders will receive 193.06p for each share. In Tuesday afternoon trade Umbro's shares were up 25.5p, or 15.5%, at 190.5p. There is an ongoing battle between Nike and Adidas to sign up the very top teams Nigel Currie, Brand Rapport The chief executive of Umbro, Steve Makin, said the offer was an "excellent deal" for shareholders. "We will be a stronger and better business as part of Nike and this deal will allow us to accelerate our existing growth strategy by leveraging Nike's global resources and expertise," he added. Brian Barwick, the chief executive of the FA, said: "We are delighted that the proposed acquisition will allow us to continue our strong historical relationship with Umbro while benefiting from the marketing expertise and financial strength of Nike." "Nike has provided firm assurances that the FA relationship with Umbro will be protected and enhanced, and we look forward to working closely with both companies moving forward," Mr Barwick added. 'World class brand' Nike began moving into football in the early 1990s and has been steadily expanding its share of the market, catching up with German rival Adidas. "There is an ongoing battle between Nike and Adidas to sign up the very top teams," said Nigel Currie, director at sports brand experts Brand Rapport. "From a marketability point of view, the Nike brand is very appealing to top clubs and international federations," he added. In its offer document, Nike said Umbro was "a world-class, authentic football brand, with well established positions in key growth markets and a deep football heritage". "As such, Umbro is highly complementary to Nike's existing football business and it is intended that it will operate as an independent, UK headquartered Nike affiliate," the US firm said.

Nearly bought him, but couldn't agree terms, whats his goal scoring like for you ?

Good advice mate, but mix up your metaphors a little please! You are quite correct, maybe I should have phrased it "shag the arse off her" and for good measure a "knock her hips out" a schoolboy errror, it wont happen again.

Actually my Porn Drive as it is now been known by Jimbo ranks with about 320GB full so far out of a maximum capacity of 500GB, so not doing so bad on that. And I've got 500GB to use up on me PC as I'm still using me external hard-drive for storage to free up memory on me PC. So all good so far. I recently had to purchase one too, my previous Jizz-drive was getting close to capacity, so I had to perform a strict quality control audit. Money well spent.

Double check your preference settings.

In my opinion you should have a heart to heart chat with her, explain that you are not suggesting she would do anything with the lad, and you are not wanting to get in the way of her "friendship" with him but explain that you think that he is trying to get in her knickers, and that is begining to bother you, and ask what she thinks of the situation. Chinning him would probably play in to his hands, infact he might be baiting you to do just that, I would be tempted to speak to him on his own, very firmly, not aggessively and not threatening, but make it plain that you know what he's try to get in her knickers and he needs to back off. Don't forget though, no matter how much he might piss you off, and no matter how much he might be wanting to get in her knickers, you are her boyfriend, not him. One other thing, make sure you keep her well fucked, if there's one thing I've learnt about women its this: If you don't fuck them, someone else will !

Congratulations !!

That's very nearly an insult, comparing Jol to a true legend like Sir Bob Yeh ''im not sure newcastle have played all that well to be honest'' the score will do me like Aye, I bet Spuds wouldn't mind the score

GET IN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm SO envious of Tottenham.........

2-0 Cacapa !!!!!!!!!!!

MARTINS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New material for download: http://www.nme.com/verve/ Reformed Verve release new demo Rock band The Verve, who recently reformed, have made a demo of new material available on the internet. The band released a free 14-minute demo from a London studio recording session, via music magazine NME's website. The group reunited in June after an eight-year split which saw singer Richard Ashcroft begin a solo career. He said: "We all decided that rather than meeting for a cup of coffee or a beer, we should meet in a studio where we can do what we do. Straight away." The demo was the first recording from the first studio session for a new Verve album. Ashcroft and fellow bandmates Nick McCabe, Simon Jones and Pete Salisbury embark on a UK tour next month. Formed in 1993, The Verve achieved their greatest success with the 1997 album Urban Hymns. At the peak of their fame, Oasis songwriter Noel Gallagher described them as "one of the most important bands in history".

Fill the kettle with water, plug it in, let it boil, when its boiled unplug it and take to to the wall with the tape.

Steam it off.

My game has gone from bad to worse, I think the AI in the game has sussed out my tactics, went through a real shite spell, found myself 11th and the board started making noises about sacking me, then the Chelsea job became avaliable so I applied and Ashley sacked me, didn't get the Chelsea job and bummed around for another appointment. Eventually I got the Wolves job, they were in the relegation zone in the Championship, I got them up to 17th but that wasn't good enough and was sacked, in the mean time with 3 matches left to play Newcastle were in the relegation zone, I was hoping they would go down so I could add myself as manager and have a season with the Toon in the Championship. However they missed out on relegation on the last day of the season with a draw at Arsenal, but I added myself again anyway, the club has hardly any money left and is generally in shite state, I think I've got a job on my hands just to keep us up.

Thats right, I'm English, not British, not Scotish, not Welsh not Irish. With that accent who the fuck are you trying to kid.. Struth !

Hang on, lets have a look at the league table again.
