Same scenario will exist upon this new deal ending, JD and the likes unlikely touch us with a barge pole, and also possible litigation by JD due to their costs incurred and more. Then there's the possibility that terms favourable between us / JD ie minimum sales threshold penalties (we'd smash sales targets) aren't favourable with SD where sales could struggle more due to boycotts etc. It's a minefield, but it's nowhere near over.

Definitely more complex & lucrative than 3quid. 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.

insider 123 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 So to claw back the 500k . My maths are. 50 quid a top. We get 10% of that which is 5 quid. So that's one hundred thousand strips need to be sold to cover the 500k.. If you want to factor in the three million quid that Dave King already paid to Mike ashley that's another six hundred thousand strips need to be sold to break even. And we wonder why we're not doing well off the field.. Who actually pays for these deals? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well actually it isnt .............. SD agreed a contract with Rangers which both seemed happy with. For some reason King chose to reject or ignore it's terms. It has cost us 500k today to find out that SD legal minds know contracts and legalities better than our club's. If you want to suggest that that's in any way not entirely at Kings door then that's up to you. But it cost us half a million on top of a contract that cost us 3m to allegedly remove ourselves from this summer. Only it wasn't. It's on King, he's fucking up time and again with our money, our future. But aye we're Ashley lovers no doubt... ger4life_1872, Marco, bornabear and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loose track with what shifty cunt at what time has shafted us. I think fat Mike had his own guys on the board looking after his interests and those of Sport Direct. Mike recently said ownership of Newcastle was of major benefit to his Sport Direct company and was resulting in huge profits. The guy doesn't give a fuck about football clubs he's just bleeding the game dry. It's a good job we got him out when we did or he'd own everything by now.
