Christmas shoppers heading for London's West End will enjoy a little respite from petrol fumes and overcrowded pavements on December 17, when Oxford Street closes to traffic. Indeed, a growing number of retailers believe that permanently freeing the street of traffic is the only way to make sure shoppers regard it as an attractive alternative to more pedestrian-friendly out-of-town destinations.

Sports World, now known as Sports Direct International, announced that it is planning an IPO at the end of February. The valuation, of between GBP1.8 and GBP2.2 billion, seems high, and potential investors will need convincing of the growth opportunities available. Furthermore, this could be difficult given that growth appears to be dependent on acquisitions and further fund raising down the line.

Given the warnings previously issued, it came as no surprise when Sports Direct reported declining sales and profit for H1 2008. However, share buy backs and assurances regarding full year profits have recently boosted the company's share price by 36%. Continued share price growth is dependent on investor confidence in Sports Direct's unconventional management style.

Indeed, its results have disappointed and the shock drop in profits is cause for much concern, but a burgeoning international arm and further expansion in the UK should help to calm investors' nerves.

With retailers launching aggressive price campaigns in a desperate bid for a share of the value pound, Sports Direct's long-standing values appear to be bearing fruit. As the retailer's low prices are ingrained in the consumer psyche, Sports Direct is the first call for bargain hungry sportswear shoppers and its defensive 'back to basics' strategy looks likely to make it a winner in the downturn.

Sports Direct has issued another profit warning following England's failure to qualify for Euro 2008. Sports Direct has already warned that its EBITDA had limited growth potential in 2007/08, but, following England's failure to qualify, it warned profits are likely to fall. While England's failure will hit other retailers as well, it highlights Sports Direct's weaknesses in particular.

Sports Direct founder Mike Ashley has been dealt a series of blows since he floated the company for GBP3.00 a share in February. In just five months the shares have halved in value, with the latest drop prompted by a vague warning on prospects in the current fiscal year. This further compounds analyst concerns, particularly given the lack of like-for-like sales figures or detailed profit guidance.

Pre-pack administrations have come under scrutiny for siphoning away selected assets and dumping debt in secretive deals. The process is open to abuse, but the unpalatable truth is that in a stuttering economy no other option protects jobs and keeps businesses open to the same extent.

With sales of E20.2 billion, 2008 looks like the last good year before the global crisis starts to affect sales at French giant PPR. Electricals and furniture sales have already been impacted by the slowdown in mature markets, and luxury will not prove immune to the downturn. As a result, PPR is positioning itself to survive difficult conditions in 2009.
