The problem for a lot of us is this is the third deal now that’s been presented this way. Go back to the Hummel/Elite thread and the same line was repeated over and over, we were definitely free of Ashley as long as we buy direct. I think we’re still waiting on payment from them and shouldn’t use that ‘buy direct’ site or the shops anymore. People should be weary of any involvement from SD, especially with such a small partner in Castore.
Do you actually think Ashley is paying for stock, which due to Rangers and Castore selling at the same time and the clear message by Rangers supporters to only buy direct, is unlikely to sell? What if the new deal allows him to return any unused stock at anytime, at no cost? Enabling him to order thousands and return them very late in the season, eventually forcing Rangers/Castore to back buying from him. People really don’t give him and his team the credit they deserve when it comes to screwing companies over with contracts.
