Stifler Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 2 minutes ago, Keegans Export said: As much as I don't like the guy, he does potentially have a point How? The club and Adidas are free to supply who they like? Adidas had a similar run in with Sports Direct some years back because they thought selling shirts through them gave them a bad look.

timeEd32 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Couldn't care less if he has a point or if we're being petty. The facts of the dispute are irrelevant. In fact I hope we're conspiring with Adidas against him and that it all feels very unfair. His 14 years of ownership felt unfair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzla Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) Any daft cunt that claims to be a Newcastle fan and buys a Newcastle shirt from Sports Direct / Frasers needs a proper good whalloping upside their heads until they cry for mercy like snivelling little bairns. Ashley can buy as many Newcastle shirts as he wants, but not a single one should ever be bought from his shitty fucking stores by any punter. End of discussion.

NUFC letting castore get away with scamming fans, tells me to buy from wherever is cheaper and will actually do the shirt personalisation.. Order a kids shirt to Switzerland, and they send it without a number or name on the back... they literally were sending shirts knowing they weren't ever going to get personalised and then issuing refunds for the personalisation costs... people were moaning about it on here for months... People can claim it's castores fault, the sales were from the club shop, ultimately NUFC let fans down and knew what was happening. I don't see why anyone should feel loyalty towards NUFC commercial operations when hey never showed it to customers...

I don't see why anyone should feel loyalty towards NUFC commercial operations when hey never showed it to customers... Because the clubs retail operation was subcontracted out by...... you guessed it Mike Ashley. Under really oppressive terms which meant the contract couldn't be ended early (Something I believe they investigated very soon post-takeover). I suspect the kind of issues of which you mention are how the club did manage to extracate themselves from the Castore deal without significant financial penalty.

But last year we were in a cup final and finished 4th in the league so we were well ahead of schedule Narrow minded to judge a multi-season plan on a single season and ambitious long term progress isn't always a linear journey Edited March 22 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
