Weirdly though, JD sports just bought a US sports brand Ashley owns, making him a cool £29m. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD/Ashley have first refusal on any new contract, something king failed to disclose along with the £3 million pay-off, the road will be the one SD decide on not king , either they will or won't exercise their right of first refusal. I am leaning towards SD activating first refusal, but obviously that is only my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian 4,281 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I did think Ashley rolled over (all puns intended) way too easy when he had all the cards. So much for honesty and transparency. So we pay up 3m to get rid, only we don't as they can still carry on, albeit for less profit. Not quite the big victory mini and King told us about. 16BlueSherbert90 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk filling their baskets and offering a pound at the till What would be interesting is if SD did take the retail deal - that would have the fan-boys in a right dilemma.

Surely the boycott was down to us barely making 10 pence to the pound in the deal at the time. If we had a proper logical deal that worked for both sides i see no problem with SD being the retailer.

There was no point to the boycott I have shown you it was better than average, it starved the club of funds and lined the pockets of blue pound chasers.
