2,000 Sports Direct staff to net £76,500 each after record profits

Sports Direct has had an astonishing year, with profits up 40%. Thanks to an extraordinarily generous share scheme, 2,000 eligible staff are going to share in this good fortune, with bonuses paid out in millions of shares. An employee on £20,000 in 2009 will get 1,200 shares - which is currently worth around £76,500.

So why is this payout so enormous?
