Drunk and disorderly. 14,388 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Rangers face a legal bill of around £500,000 after reaching an out-of-court settlement with Sports Direct over the right to sell replica kit. The retailer was previously granted an interim injunction on the sale of Rangers merchandise and will continue to sell the club's branded goods. Sports Direct argued it should have been given the opportunity to match "some or all" of an offer from a rival. And the club have been ordered to pay most of Sports Direct's legal fees. A previous retail deal between Sports Direct and Rangers was renegotiated on new terms last June at a cost of £3m to the club. Rangers announced a new three-year kit deal with manufacturer Hummel in April, but there was no indication when replica strips would be available for supporters to buy. At the High Court in London on Monday, Mr Justice Phillips had been due to analyse evidence about the meaning of a contract clause. But lawyers representing both sides told him that agreements had been made and the judge said Rangers had accepted claims made by Sports Direct, the company owned by Newcastle United owner and former Ibrox shareholder Mike Ashley, "You are going to get your new contract with Rangers," he told lawyers representing the retailer. "I would really have thought the time has come to try to make peace. "You have succeeded in matching and you are proceeding to a new contract." The judge was told Sports Direct had run up legal costs of £350,000 and Rangers £185,000. Mr Justice Phillips said Rangers should pick up the vast majority of Sports Direct's legal bills as well as paying their own fees, adding that the retailer was "entitled to the costs". Source: BBC Looks as if we may be able to buy the new strips soon going by that article. The whole thing has been a farce. Will buying from the Rangers Megastore stop fat Ashley getting a cut or will the glutton get the same amount of money regardless? Hate that the obese prick will still be earning from us.

I can understand why the board wanted to exclude Ashley from future sales. Dare say that's what the vast majority of Bears would like to happen. Still money wasted though and the glutton is still with us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bears r us 30,773 Posted July 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2018 I just hope these great tops are available asap so that we can start buying them. To blame this all on Ashley would be ridiculous, King told us last March that it was sorted for £3M and obviously that was not true. We need to think about the future of Rangers, any boycott will not hurt Ashley but will hurt our Club IMO.

We must be the only Club in the world who will start a new season with strips the support can't buy. I think it's gone past the stage of point scoring now and that we have to get the strips online and make money to invest in the team.
