Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 As long as any deal means he still gets a cut from the profits of the megastore while washing his hands of the overheads it's not a great deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a one year deal, when it was 7 previously. Even if it was a dreadful deal now (which I don't think it is) then how would having it for 1 year be worse than 7? markem 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,351 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 My take on it is that we've done good business, regardless of percentages or profit shares we've done away with a 7 year deal, and got it down to 1. We've got rid of Rangers Retail Ltd, and will now see the income from the shirt deals (not to be confused with merchandise) directly through Rangers. We can be completely free of MA / SD in a years time and it will be within our control where we go next. Tough pill to swallow for those who've been constantly engaged in a King vs Ashley war, as they are temporarily both on the same side. There's simply no negatives to be found, and any that have been put forward are fabricated to be negative towards King, Rangers or the fans.

OnwardsandUpwards 834 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I am just happy to be finally putting all this behind us.Its a win win here.Coin in the money from this years strip as the majority of Bears haven't bought one then do likewise next season when we are free to negotiate wherever we please.Just think the bargaining power all these sales will provide for the club going forward!! As an aside the Megastore will be my choice for Rangers strips for family but any sports related purchases will be and have been since the boycot with Greaves Sports who supported the clubs stance and refused to sell the strip.Always feel it's good to support those that supported us at the time.God knows we haven't had many!!! falkirkNS and markem 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a small groan, really. Nothing that can be done about it now, I guess. RFC55 and Bobby Hume 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed totally until the last paragraph, biggest negative is we gave Ashley a way to get the stock sold and make a killing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a small groan, really. Nothing that can be done about it now, I guess. I think it's more important just now to get the tops sold and more importantly see the younger generation wearing them. We bought 3 tops last night 1 each for us (to wear to Ibrox only before I get slated) and one for the wean. Ours were £20 and the weans was £15. TBH if they had been £40/£50 each I wouldn't have got one because we just can't afford £150 at this time (I know the weans wouldn't have been £50 but probably about £35). I'm more excited to see the glorious blue tops rather than just they green rags! Bobby Hume, Buggleskelly, Bears r us and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carsons Dog 9,878 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I'm excited to see how much the Lion Brand are going to be handing over to the club. Should be enough to snap up Dorrans I reckon dougie76, Bobby Hume and BridgeIsBlue 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
