Bankers get the rap and credit-rating agencies, institutional shareholders, analysts, lawyers, accountants, PRs, media, regulators and government go free.

This is the group of remuneration consultants who have advised the various boards on senior executive pay. Their habit of collecting data on industry pay levels and then suggesting similar percentage levels for their clients has not only created a upward spiral in pay levels, as everybody measures everbody else, but has ignored the need for a reality check as to what absolute amount is really needed to provide incentives in the business line concerned." 2009-02-16T08:52:58Z http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-business/article-23638293-jobs-at-risk-as-jjb-winds-up-a-pair-of-shoe-brands.do JJB Sports put its Lifestyle division into administration while insisting it remains optimistic the rest of the business won't go the same way 2009-02-10T15:12:03Z http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-business/article-23634309-jogging-along-to-extra-profit-at-jd-sports.do <strong>Retail: </strong> Jogging shoes that aren’t used for jogging and baseball caps that are not needed for baseball are still popular despite the downturn 2009-02-04T09:13:07Z http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-business/article-23599779-jjb-buys-time-by-rejigging-20m-debt.do <strong>Retail:</strong> Struggling JJB Sports has seen sales plummet in the last few months, but it has bought itself a little breathing-space 2008-12-10T14:32:59Z http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-business/article-23597049-jjb-calls-in-big-guns-for-survival-fight.do Troubled leisure retailer JJB Sports brings in some heavy-hitting City advisers as it seeks to reassure investors that it can survive 2008-12-04T10:36:27Z http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-business/article-23595258-four-more-stores-go-in-jjb-debt-cut.do <strong>Retail: </strong>Fears for the future of JJB Sports were growing as the leisure retailer offloaded another four stores to fierce rival Sports World, owned by Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley 2008-12-01T13:52:11Z http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-business/article-23583487-bargain-hunters-boost-footsie-in-thin-trading.do After another brutal week on the stock market, punch drunk investors were grateful for a chance to re-group and find time for some to contemplate the future 2008-11-07T09:01:17Z http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-business/article-23572504-jjb-sports-sell-off-to-ensure-survival.do Embattled sportswear chain JJB Sports is in talks to offload various "non-core" assets as it fights to save the company 2008-10-14T08:28:28Z http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-business/article-23569704-market-report-banks-shares-shrug-off-twin-blast-from-brokers.do Just one day after the biggest-ever bailout of the banks, Goldman Sachs's contribution to global efforts to save the financial system was to damn the UK's beleaguered sector 2008-10-09T08:27:29Z http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23563254-credit-crunch-britain---the-winners-and-losers.do 2008-10-03T09:00:17Z http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-business/article-23561884-market-report-brokers-worries-put-a-cloud-over-new-star.do One group of investors that will be keeping a close watch on stock market events during the days and weeks ahead are the pin-up boys and girls at New Star Asset Management with around £8 billion invested 2008-09-30T08:01:21Z http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-business/article-23560532-jjb-dives-into-red-as-retailers-go-reeling.do JJB Sports has tumbled to a dramatic loss amid what it described as the worst retail recession it has ever seen 2008-09-26T07:58:03Z http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-business/article-23559053-trainers-help-jd-sprint-ahead.do Retailers are enduring a shocking time, but the young and downwardly mobile are still buying trainers 2008-09-23T10:36:28Z http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-business/article-23520257-jjb-sports-sounds-the-alarm-after-sales-slide.do JJB Sports today reported a 2% slump in sales at its 425 stores and warned things may not get any better before the end of the year 2008-07-24T08:23:04Z http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23520593-record-39-decline-in-high-street-spending-fuels-recession-worries.do The biggest monthly fall in consumer spending has heightened fears of a high-street meltdown 2008-07-24T15:00:38Z http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-business/article-23492643-jd-sports-hits-goals-despite-england-loss.do Rival sport retailers are hurting from England's failure to make it to Euro 2008, but John David is still kicking 2008-06-09T11:03:14Z http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-business/article-23486150-heat-on-sports-direct-and-jjb-as-leisure-worry-grows.do Sports Direct and JJB Sports both suffer minor blows 2008-05-20T14:03:41Z http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-business/article-23478724-jjb-sports-shops-shut-as-profits-plummet.do JJB Sports to close nearly a fifth of its stores with the loss of 800 jobs after a 70% plunge in profits 2008-04-16T09:45:40Z
