The reality is that from the days that Alan and Jack left Game, it did not really make money again until after Prefcor had owned it for about 2 years. It was with the appointment of Dan Barret that the business was turned around. From not making money for about 15 years, the business was sold to Massmart making a profit of about R90 million/year
Game only started making money when Vodacom offered them millions , in fact over the years - Billions. Dan was great , but were it not for Vodacom , I doubt Game would have made profit
