Think it's pretty obvious that Rangers are going to say that, is it not? It's going to be run by Elite, who are buying direct from Hummel and selling our gear. The club aren't allowed to advertise that the merchandise is available to buy through Elite otherwise it could get us into a whole lot of bother.

Injunction, injunction, they cry.

How much will go to club? Same old answer, we just don't know. Is this the best option, ie to buy now or hold off to see if the picture becomes clearer? We just don't know. Will this move result in further legal action? Fuck knows.

New players, but seen this game before and it's tedious and harmful.

But as long as post epiphany outlook allows you to find this clusterfuck  humorous it's all good eh.

Doubt anything as Hummel would've already paid us. Elite are buying direct from Hummel

SD can't stop that

Could it not be the case that Hummel then disguise this shirt sales payment as some kind of sponsorhip payment for the training centre or something similar? A lump sum up front based on a realistic estimate of shirt sales, then maybe a top up payment later on if we exceed the original target? If we don't meet the target the they just deduct from the following seasons payment.

Seems doable, but obviously a bit ropey from a contractual point of view.

Have they though? And is there no bonus for hitting targets or penalties for failing to do so (if we fucked up like we have or boycotted)? We just don't know.

More questions than answers as usual with us.

They obviously can't tell us to go ahead and buy shirts and that the club will benefit from this, but I'm fairly sure if we weren't benefitting then we would have been told by now, even through an unofficial channel.

It's a fair assumption, but that's all it is, assumption. Its poor we glean that as unofficial channels, some of whom benefited previously and are on the payroll now, haven't told us otherwise. It's ridiculous state of affairs, none moreso than the fact we still can't as a club actively promote strip sales.

Hummel have been blanking SD according to FF haven't a clue what's going on but they appear to be behind the club which is good

Agreed, but it is what it is mate, just have to get on with it. As long as we are indeed making money in some way, does it really (really) matter at the end of the day?

It seems in recent years it certainly did matter, not so much now it seems. For me it really does, it should be a huge part of our financial strategy. 

I think it's going to be a huge factor in player recruitment/ purchases. Could be the difference in really taking on the scum. It just seems no one knows, no one cares, and loads of folk still haven't bought and that money is gone.
