madras Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 could that not be classed as fraud ? Nope, there'll be a contract just it'll be a small fee. It's fine as long as it's not seen as a way of shifting profits for tax planning purposes. Although even then, that's no problem form Amazon and Starbucks. which it would be surely ? I can't see it being for that. It's just a way for SD to hold our stock and sell NUFC merchandise so that they make most of the profit. it wouldn't be for that, but would be a product of it, wouldn't it ? not too up to date with my fraud laws.

Guest neesy111 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 The thing is as well, they could secure contracts for any potential new buyer for SD's to keep doing this for xx years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Does anyone on here work in the club shop? Who pays the wages? Also, you can buy a ticket in the club shop at the same time as a shirt. Is that going through a different till system or does it still say Sports Direct on the receipt? I assume even this cunt can't be that bent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quayside Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 The 2012 accoiunts disclose nothing about any relationship between Sports Direct and the club with regard to merchandising. The club would have to disclose that as it would be what is known as a Related Party transaction. The only 2 Related Party transactions in the accounts are the free advertising SD get at SJP and the loan provided by Ashley. Unless maybe it did not start until after june 2012? It can't be anything other than a related party transaction. Would us getting nothing for it make any difference? After all, it's only a link on a website. To be honest I can't see how it couldn't be a related party transaction whether we get anything from it or not. Although as I said it could have started after June2012.

Wallace Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Simon Bird said the following in an article in the Mirror yesterday: Newcastle moan that they can never attract the sponsorship revenues of bigger clubs. But their case is undermined by the dozens of Sports Direct adverts that plaster the stadium and pitch surrounds. No sum is specified in the accounts as to what this global advertising is worth to Sports Direct, but industry analysts say it could be worth millions. Sports Direct get it for free. The club's retail operation appears to be morphing from an division that used to provide revenue, to one being taken over by Sports Direct. More money going out of the club?[/i] http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-transfer-window-report-joe-2247216 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 The merchandise deal with Sports Direct is mentioned in the latest Rangers accounts but no specifics given. However it looks like they went to Rangers and lied about the stadium renaming to get that deal, claiming that it had paid for us to sign Demba Ba.

Wullie Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 You have agreed a deal with Sports Direct for the naming rights of Ibrox, yet have £21.2m cash in the bank. Why does the stadium need to be sponsored? CG: Bringing an amount of cash in by naming the stadium – and that amount will vary upwards depending on the league that we're in – or the branding of Murray Park is vitally important. This is not money that goes into Charles Green's retirement fund, it goes into Rangers and we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that the team needs investment on the pitch, because it's only with a successful team that we'll get the support of the fans. We had a meeting a few weeks ago with the supporters and invited Sports Direct. We had a presentation from Derek Llambias, the chief executive of Newcastle, who talked about how that worked for him at Newcastle, how that money bought Demba Ba and, after 29 goals, he sold him for £7.5m and bought [Moussa] Sissoko. http://www.heraldscotland.com/mobile/sport/football/rangers-accounts-q-a.20412541 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it is old news, I had no idea that NUFC weren't counting all revenue from the club shop (online or otherwise) in their own revenue figures. Maybe people are just joining the dots now but this is quite a big deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
