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. I think there’ll be plenty of suitors Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...

Interesting theory tbh. 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...

nufcjb Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 If we want to kick Castore out and get a new deal in for next eason, need to do it a.s.a.p. Leaks of kits usually start popping up around end of this month up to April and usually production.may have started for a July or early August release.

Is there really no relationship? “The truth is there’s none,” Beahon says, willing to address the question but frustrated this connection lingers. “Ashley is not a shareholder in Castore. The Reuben Brothers aren’t investors. The answer is definitively no. I have all of my investors’ numbers, I know them on a first-name basis, and I don’t have Ashley’s number in my phone. We’ve partnered with Rangers and Newcastle because of the opportunity, the potential upside, and it’s nothing to do with Ashley.” So, categorically, this is not a way of Ashley still having a back-door route into Newcastle if he sells? There is no involvement with Castore? “No,” Beahon says firmly. “Absolutely none.”” https://theathletic.com/2693219/2021/07/08/castore-founder-explains-newcastle-kit-deal-mike-ashley-links-pricing-and-getting-fans-excited-again/?access_token=8349337&redirected=1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn’t, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it emerged that big retailers like SD make better margin on Castore products. I know SD shops have Nike and adidas stuff in to get people into the shops, sometimes making very little margin, then make their big bucks on other stuff (in Ashley’s case, particularly the dead brands he bought out for himself - Lonsdale and the like) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's far too late for even Nike or Adidas to design, manufacture, market and sort the logistics and supply chain of the volume of kits we'd require.
