sushimonster85 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I thought it was 6 years? Which (without paying them to fuck off) would be another 4 seasons after this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 If it's £5m a year they give us and we'd stand to make far more than that, you'd think we'd just buy ourselves out of the deal like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 The Castore deal was finalised when they were still trying to sort out the takeover. Why the fuck did Ashley sign a long term deal? And why the fuck did the prospective buyers not say it might be reasonably important not to do that? Also, while I haven’t bought a top in 24 years and therefore it has no direct impact me, I’m a bit puzzled by the clamour for adidas. Other than that first season, my memory is that most of the kit designs were shite tbh. I know money talks, but I’d be far happier if Umbro came calling again. Or Nike for the first time.

Mazzy Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I'm not desperate for Adidas for take the reigns but they'd certainly be better than Castore. It'll only be one of Nike or Adidas, can't see anything else happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Pretty sure Castore knew exactly what they were doing as well. Remember when they first started they initially had bunch of 'a new beginning' type marketing out there, almost like they'd had the heads up that there was still a pretty strong chance the takeover would be going through later in the season. They've basically paid (barely) mid-table money for what will likely be a top 4 side by the time their contract is up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
