Rafalove Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Honestly don’t think there’s been anywhere near enough outrage over this new kit deal. I mean we’re leaving a more lucrative deal for a less lucrative one. It’s a clear, swindle. Another sad example of how terrible our local journalists are. Puma might not be offering a new deal etc. This year was only an extension. Of course. But shouldn’t it be questioned particularly with the Rangers links?

Grimsby93 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Serious questions should be asked of Amanda Staveley and the consortium but it doesn't fit the everything positive even if totally made up bullshit is good narrative. She's desperate, they're desperate. It's a total fucking mess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it actually structured with worse terms than Puma? What a joke Probably about the same, the Puma deal is anywhere between 5 to 6.5 million a season. It doesn’t affect the hypothetical takeover in any way. There will be break clauses inserted I assume Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 All kit deals have breakage clauses and one from a small company won’t be much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 So, I can't be arsed to read back through the usual pages of 'he said, they said' assumption bollocks, why is it people are now adamant again about the takeover being off? I'm amazed people are still knee jerking to everything on a day to day basis tbh, I stopped that weeks ago in favour of taking a step back until something solid happened.

I hadn’t checked the thread at all since last night and logged on today to doom and gloom. Scrolled back through expecting bad news from Mimms but no, nothing has happened except a load of people on Twitter arguing. The kit deal has people worried and the lack of any progress but I think it’s patience that’s needed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I find it hard to get excited or deflated about this anymore tbh. I'm actually quite glad aswell after the summer fiasco. My personal view is it's not going to happen so I won't be devastated if it doesn't, if it does then I'd be astonished and delighted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWN Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 This non takeover etc has knocked the fuck out of me, I've had it, I try to still care about us but it's gone for good.

Ketsbaia Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 There's no actual reason to be negative, it's just that this thread turns into a depression if it doesn't get a semi-positive ITK update every 48 hours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I mean, true, but there’s no reason to be positive either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I wouldn’t say I’m negative just frustrated. For every positive sign there is a negative one to counter it. Mimms suggests it’s as close as a few weeks away. Yet this new kit deal suggests it’s no where near close Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Underpants Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Has Mimms been posting anything since saying it was close? Just wondered since what’s been going on the last few days hasn’t really been on the positive side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 The puma deal was only a short term extension anyway wasn't it that was due to end early next year iirc? If that was coming to an end personally I think it ties in more with the takeover that Ashley would connect himself to it in someway until everything is finalised. I guess the new owners want to make their own deals if and when they take over. Of course Ashley could have consulted them before making a long term deal with someone else but maybe they said they want to sort that out later? Hence why Ashley got a deal in for himself in the meantime. There's a hundred and one reasons and we just have to wait and see how it all unfolds. I won't be getting worried about this kit deal, at the same time as I won't be getting excited (takeover related) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
