Eh ask SJC he's the brains around here I'm sure I read that SD are guaranteed money for any unsold stock as part of their contract with Rangers*. There will be a figure stipulated in the contract that SD will supply X amount of Rangers* merchandise per season with SD retaining X % per item sold as well as receiving X % per item unsold in order to cover manufacturing/retail costs. No retailer would offer a "no sale no fee" deal to anyone, especially someone with no credit rating like Rangers* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugna Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I had a quick look for this in my coffee break, but didn't see anything definitive. There's lots in the papers, which I have completely disregarded given the attention to detail and accuracy that the press displays on the subject of Rangers (and almost certainly Celtic, too). One thing I came across again that "bears" revisiting is the hearing of the Sports Direct application. Having browsed through this to see if there was any relevance to the unsold stock (or minimum sales levels) question, I was again struck by the clarity of Millett's explanations. In short, he says: This is not a mini-trial. I don't buy a word of the obviously nonsensical disingenuous claims by King et al. Even if I did buy them, they are absolutely irrelevant to the question I'm being asked, i.e. whether this can proceed. Although this is not a mini-trial, if King had really believed that the case had no merit he could have submitted a "draft defence"; but instead of doing that he accuses Sports Direct of not publishing details of their own legal advice, which is patently an absurd position to take. King and Murray had a fiduciary duty as RRL directors to act in its best interests; but not only did they fail to do this, they claimed that they didn't have enough information (from RRL) about the action taken against them (by TRFC), despite "being" TRFC; and even without any of that information, they had to support the RRL action because it was the only option as RRL would otherwise have been "destroyed", so the decision to pursue the action required no information at all. Great clarity and logic, a pleasure to read it. But King's integrity does come out looking slightly worse than it did in the "glib and shameless" assessment and the TAB review (where he was completely slaughtered). I suppose that it may have been correct to describe the SARS case as a "favourable outcome", as happened around the time of his FFP appraisal: the last two times that his words and actions have been examined objectively, the assessors have been less kind. He seems to have become less trustworthy than the man who was given 41 criminal convictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, for one am delighted with this as it will bring a bit more excitement back to the league. Time will tell but I'm looking forward to see if they can put up a challenge after Christmas and beyond.

I just don't understand why both sides didn't sit down and thrash out a deal beneficial to both parties. I haven't bought a football top for myself in many MANY years but if we are given the green light by the board I fully intend being a full kit w****r Mystic Boab On 06/06/2017 at 13:44, sjc said: Is there not also court cases with Ashley/SD as well as with Warburton/Weir/McParland coming up?
