Summary of the front page
Metro reports that Wilko, which has 400 stores, is going into administration – putting 12,500 jobs at risk.
The chain has so far been unable to find enough emergency investment to save its 400 shops and 12,500 workers. The paper says the 93-year-old homeware retailer could “vanish like giants Woolworths and C&A”.
“It’s back,” says the paper’s other headline as the new Premier League season returns.
