Stag Nation Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 The Competition and Markets Authority have announced they are investigating allegations of price-fixing of replica kit, involving Rangers, Hummel and JD Sports. Manchester United were fined £1.6 million for a similar conspiracy in 2004. Umbro and JJB Sports were also fined. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/rangers-facing-price-fix-inquiry-over-replica-kits-sgk2sskc2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainbowrising Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I find it impossible to believe that such a staunchly and quintessentially British bastion of unsurpassed dignity, lead at the time by a man with the unquestionable integrity of Dave King could ever do something illegal. No, never. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmen Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I thought there was general price fixing going on. Are all tops not £60/£65 unless bought in sports direct? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paisley Ton Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 All football kit are too expensive and seen by clubs and their business partners as fair income. Not sure how this is a singular Rangers issue as I expect one club sets a price and by nod or a wink others follow. A bit like the big 6 energy companies and now most of the broadband/TV suppliers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't being investigated for colluding with other clubs. The suggestion is a pricing agreement involving the kit manufacturers (Hummel) and retailers (JD Sports, etc.). Anyway, the other clubs can't set a price, except for whats sold in their own shops. They can't legally tell the local sports shop what to charge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
