Hopefully tells them to improve or fuck off I've got a pal who's a sportswear designer and has created footy kits for the highest profile global clubs. His view on Castore is that it's shite, proper bargain basement in terms of materials, manufacturing and product quality. Nothing we didn't know based on the obvious QC issues, but still interesting to get his professional insight into just how basic their apparel is.

KDT Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Any idea when 'the big 6' contracts end with their current shirt manufacturers, could be a sign to our next potential manufacturer if say Adidas are losing Arsenal/Man Utd in the next season or so.

huss9 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 anyone felt uncomfortable reading Mehrdad's posts about the goings on in Iran with respects to the recent protests on women's rights after that girls death in police custody? I applaud them and especially as he is Iranian it must be something close to his heart. but then u think of some of the shit in Saudi that still goes on.

TRon Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Still really rankles with me that Ashley sold off the land behind St James and that might have affected our expansion plans. Even if it didn't, it was an asset which he probably creamed off for himself, I doubt the club got the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloGeordio Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Dan Ashworth: “It's a really difficult job, but it is possible. We have no God-given right, within one or two transfer windows, to go, 'Bang, we should be competing with the top four'. But things do happen in football that are slightly strange. Leicester won the Premier League at 5,000-1.' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Big Six are not looking to become seven any time soon either. Certainly not eight. So, if the word from recent Premier League meetings is to be believed, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest are what are known as useful idiots. It is suggested both are cosying up to the elite cabal, the Super League clubs who not so long ago were looking to stampede over the horizon, destroying the Premier League in the process, and leaving the clubs who remained choking on their dust. Newcastle and Forest have big ambitions and see the six as their natural allies. If this is true, they are even more foolish than they look. Newcastle are faring better but if they think they are any more welcome in the ranks of the elite than among the disgruntled 14, they are wrong. The likes of Tottenham and Arsenal fear their rise as much as West Ham and Everton, and the only reason Manchester City abstained on rules that appeared to target Newcastle’s ability to raise commercial revenue from Saudi enterprises is they believe it is as much an attack on their links to businesses in Abu Dhabi. If Newcastle want to know the true nature of the six, ask City, the last members through the door. City are in because, without them, without Pep Guardiola, Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne, the competition would lose some of its allure. Yet just about every regulatory move made by the elite clubs of England and Europe in the last decade has been designed to curb City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane and Son are 29 and 30 respectively, unfortunately for Spurs, and when they start fading in the next few years, I can't see them replacing them with that sort of quality.

Rafalove Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 On 12/10/2022 at 22:55, Nobody said: We've got one of the best badges in England though (the best in the PL according to my Mrs who doesn't give two shits about football and wouldn't just say that to be nice to me), absolutely no need to change it. Would be gutted if we did change it tbh. As for SJP, I'd much, much rather keep the name, but if it's a deal worth doing, then I wouldn't be too gutted to see it change. SJP needs to still be there mind, and it must never be ruined with tacky shite plastered all over it like our previous owner did with it. best in football tbh. It’s really, really good.

STM Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Just so I'm clear... Eales/Ashworth never actually said anything specific about a stadium name sponsor, Saudi linked sponsors or indeed expanding the stadium, right? From what I heard, Eales basically said that we would look in to everything and consult fans on big decisions. However likely they are, I swear a few journalists basically heard no denial on a few questions and ran with it. I shouldn't be surprised.
