Will more stock be produced by these companies, if all the old stock is sold before the end of the year? What sort of deal has been negotiated for fresh stock? Nothing announced. Difficult balance to get enough to meet demand but not so much that we're left with surplus that needs marked down when new strips come next season. I'd imagine we'll find out soon if we're bringing out new tops at all this season or if it's decided against for whatever reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be worth the club ordering small amounts on demand as SD and Puma might pull out when the cold shoulder effect is enforced. Maybe at that point King will move on in martyrdom and the club could bring the merchandise in-house and produce a new top. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you disagree that we missed an opportunity to sell merchandise by not having enough stock?

You're having a constant go at the board irrespective of what they do and you fkn well know it. Missed what opportunity, we were hamstrung by a 7 year bastard of a contract, Cashley could've sat on that till it ran out, would've made no difference to the billionaire. Dave King and our board take him on, get a brilliant result and you think we should've had stock on hand, are you for real? See if these discussions were a card game, Cashley wasn't just holding the aces he had the 52 fkn cards. You're last paragraph is rattler behaviour all round. I'll no bother throwing you in an emoji as you clearly just don't fkn get it. Glad as fuck I don't know you, live near you or work with beside you, you're a depressing negative bastard. Maybe change your name to Jack the Fucking manic depressive I hate Dave King and pretend to be a Rangers fan Flipper. On second thoughts change Flipper to Fucker.

Poor business sense. Don't really get how we 'missed the opportunity'. If anything, this is creating even more hype and demand for the product. The club couldn't really legislate for this eventuality - we were in dispute with Sports Direct. We couldn't exactly determine when that dispute would end or how.

I wouldn't agree with creating more hype, the hype and excitement is already there and not being able to meet demand is never good unless there's special circumstances. Most real Rangers supporters will of course go out and buy the strips anyway no matter what - but you'll have those whom are balancing on the edge of getting a strip, and they might just think, ah fuck it - I'll not bother.

The stores were trying to shift slow moving stock until this deal broke and couldnt put up the price then as it would have looked like blatant profiterring...i expect a different story with new stock though and will retail around £45-50.......they might even throw in a free rubber duck whilst stock lasts Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So please explain why companies stagger production to increase hype and people still buy their products ? If people want to buy a Rangers top they will. Whether that was last week when the announcement was made or when it's back in stock next week. Yes, they might get frustrated at the delay but I'm sure the club could bring out some promotions (free delivery to the store?) and people will come rushing back as intended.

It's true though, not everyone is black and white going to buy or not buy a strip. There are people whom aren't hugely motivated to buy but will see everyone buying a strip, see the buzz and buy if they can in that time frame. To them it's an impulse buy, and if it isn't available right there and then they wont buy later on. It's basics of demand and supply, if you do not supply during times of high demand then you lose custom. It's obvious, and it's fact. Don't care if anyone disagrees, that's the way things are. Anyone argues any differently then they don't know what they're talking about and are just trying to make things out to be better than what they are. I'm quite happy to admit King perhaps did not know when this deal would have gone through and couldn't have had strips manufactured to satisfy demand. But I'm not going to agree with shite that we have lost out on no custom even although we've ran out of strips. Especially if the rumours are true that we are going to increase the cost of the strips. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
