I was in a SD shop trying to get one on Saturday was told sold out weren't getting any more, was told in the shop about the delivery to Megastore on Saturday but told not to get my hopes up as it was a no go - as I said - shambles So a tweet by the SLO and a comment by a SD staff member make it a shambles? Ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenerife Bear 1,748 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 We've now sold all last seasons home ones at half price. Make a new design, full price, we will buy that as well, as well as the 2 away ones coming out. Selling out of stock is a great chance to get a new kit done. Shame really.

That would have been a sound business model. Considering we have been negotiating for over a year the smart businessman would have planned ahead , but thats something we dont have on that board.

Rangers cannot do right for doing wrong for some folk on here. Ffs everyone knew we were boycotting, why the fuck would anyone in business produce stock that's not likely to ever sell? Jesus fkn wept. Cunts just want to criticise Dave King no matter what. Same when the deal was announced and on considerably better terms, moaning bastards spouting their shite and not believing Dave King, fkn rattler behaviour. Now the fat man who had a strangle hold on our club is gone, that's not good enough for some on here either. Let's remember again, big hauns fkn sold us down the river, he destroyed us financially with those deals with Ashley, that bastard must've thought all his christmases had come early when that was done, fuck me people, please remember that. Now, Dave King and the board have played a blinder sorting that out (despite what you think of him). That bastard could've sat tight and destroyed us financially for the full 7 years, fkn think about that. We should be positive and optimistic as fuck about all of this instead of whining like the rhabids and every other cunt who are now suddenly business and retail experts to go along with their tax, accountancy and law expertise. I'll not quote the cunts name but it's the analogy that when Logie Baird invented the TV, his response coz he's a Scottish doom and gloom monger BawBag was 'Aye but there's fuck all oan'. Just like so many outlooks on here. Fkn hell get a grip, this is the most positive we should all be after years and years of reptile bastards destroying us from within.

It wouldn't have been smart to stock up prior to concluding negotiations. SD would have been fully aware we had been stocking up. This would have given them more leverage in the negotiations as they would have known we were sat on a load of stock we wanted to shift.

So you wanted our club to spend money on effectively old style strips months and months before any retail compromise had been made? Would you have turned the supply tap on full throttle months back as would have been needed to meet current demand? All based on a hope a compromise could be met? Dinnae be daft sir.

It's not 100% whether its the Rangers Megastore bricks and mortar or online but we get a bigger percentage when its done that way versus buying in Sports Direct. In other words buying from the Megastore online is as good as buying in person. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
