It's on King, he's fucking up time and again with our money, our future. But aye we're Ashley lovers no doubt... Spot on mate. King is NOT the super duper businessman that some folk think he is and he just loves to ignore judiciary items when it suits him.

They forget that their boycott managed to get this cluster fuck board in in the first place. Aye, they are gonna boycott what they boycotted for in the first place, you couldn't get a more dumb bunch anywhere on the planet. Fuck Ashley and fuck King and fuck the blazer chasing mongo's even more. Any talk of boycotts is stupid, just get the strips out. bornabear, dougie76, minstral and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WATP-FOREVER 5,231 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 28 minutes ago, weeneily said: If the Club were handling their own retail then this point would be valid although the vat man and suppliers would get 50% between them followed by the typical 40% overhead of running a retail operation which would inevitably end up with £5 profit left for the Club. This is similar to the old deal with RR being a joint venture. In this case however SD will be controlling all retail operations. They will pay the VAT man and manufacturer and retail overheads and the Club will receive a royalty of typically between 5% and 10% of the net retail sales before VAT ie £42 x 5% - 10% = £4.20-£8.40 per kit. All other bits of the pie are eaten up by the manufacturer, HMRC and the retailer. Same for all clubs who subcontract their retail operations. I am not into wholesale or retail - bit confusing for some reason your post. Care to actually tabulate/split the expenditure & allocation - and one issue pal, you've failed to mention sponsors - their investment does increase on individual shirt sales.

Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Don’t see anybody mentioning it yet but how much of a clusterfuck must this be for Hummel? They’ve given us 10 million if sources are correct to get into bed with us and must have tens of thousands of strips sat in a warehouse somewhere ready to go yet they’re being told they can’t sell them. Wouldnt surpise me if their relationship with the club has already started on a bad foot on the back of this, theyll be wondering what cowboys they’ve gone into business with.

gsa 3,906 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I think it's fair to say the club won't be making any real money from replica shirts or associated merchandise any time soon. If you like the kits or training gear or want to buy them for your children, go ahead and fill your boots and ignore all the nonsense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Care to actually tabulate/split the expenditure & allocation - and one issue pal, you've failed to mention sponsors - their investment does increase on individual shirt sales. As far as allocation and split of income/expenditure is concerned it is irrelevant to us. The retail partner will give the Club a % of sales before VAT as a royalty for using the Rangers IP. Same way as every other Club who completely outsource Retail to a 3rd party. The sponsors money has nothing to do with the retail partner deal and will go straight to the Club and I am not aware of the volume of replica kit sales having any bearing on this. Do you have information that sponsors investment varies depending on replica kit sales? Either way sponsorship money will not go near the retail partner (unless of course the board have made a monumental fuckup). In Hummel's case they will also make margin from supplying the kits to SD at wholesale cost or possible license fee income by allowing SD to make kits under license in one of their far east sweatshops.

I think we will be far better off in the long run having bought our way out at the 3 million cost. It is however frustrating we start with a hefty deficit and galling we remain in partnership with the outfit that we had to buy our way out of. There is another point in that if we were starting with no legacy issues SD from a reach point of view are a far stronger partner than JD. Ashley is however a cunt and I’m sure we’d all be glad to be shot of him. Im worried JD are going to be putting their hand up shortly. We can only hope nothing was signed with them that we can’t easily walk away from. Bad Robot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMax399 3,698 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 A suicidal deal was signed by a previous board. What we’re seeing are the steps required to at least put us on more favourable footing. Its a huge shit sandwich and it’s cost us a lot of cash, but you can’t shoot the board for the ridiculous decisions made by their predecessors. Selling strips to generate additional revenue is the priority. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
