But it’s all just a coincidence!!
We had a contract with Elite.Why though?
We have a contract with Castore. They pay us money. When the deal is up, we will probably move onto someone else who pays us more money.
A bit of our problem is that some fans started hero worshipping Castore when it's really just a standard business relationship.
I think and always have that he has something to do with them in some wayIf true castore will regret getting involved with the fatman
Great points mate.We had a contract with Elite.
Fatso stepped in and they have refused to pay us what they owe.
He is so much of a heavyweight in sports retail that any small company would be delighted to have him take them over abd do their distribution.
Even if it’s a breach of contract with Rangers, they will be so much money in it for the two Scouse brothers they probably won’t care
Castore promised us they would have nothing to do with SD.
Next thing our shirts are on sale in fatsos shops.
Now this.
Remember we’re talking about two Scouse salesmen and the Fat c@nt.
Not good reading in my eyes.
No way castore will be doing that.
That is the big issue.Ashley could buy Castore at the drop of a hat.
Not if they don't want to sell - they are a privately owned company.Ashley could buy Castore at the drop of a hat.
Of all the clubs in Europe, of all the clubs in Britain in fact, the one that just screams please no involvement Castore, is Newcastle.
Read the article instead of scaremongering.That is the big issue.
If he has decided to do so, there will be nothing we can do about it and you can bet your bottom dollar that he will cut off our cash supply right away.

Ashley buys brands that are on the decline and squeezes the last drops of value out of them.That is the big issue.

Privately owned companies are only privately owned until someone comes along from a bigger private or public company and offers them so much money that they are happy to sell.Not if they don't want to sell - they are a privately owned company.
Ashley pulls this stunt every summer - to ensure he sells season tickets.

Why would Ashley change the habits of the lifetime and buy a brand on the up rather than his usual modus operandi of buying distressed companies ?Why would buying OR not buying a small sportswear brand have an impact on the calculus of NUFC fans when it comes to buying STs?
Bizarre
He's talking about the takeover chat.Why would buying OR not buying a small sportswear brand have an impact on the calculus of NUFC fans when it comes to buying STs?

Hmm it makes me very suspicious hearing things like this. Despite no obvious link, I still feel uneasy hearing about SD, Ashley and Castore in the same breath.

Every summer for the last 10 years Ashley has flirted he is selling the Toon. This is the latest manifestation. Maybe he will sell this time - but we will see.
Something about this making me seriously uneasy.
Ashley just closed his store which is his bread and butter, sacked all the staff and handed it all over to castore? The reason he bought Newcastle was to sell kits.
Agree mate, many will bury there head in the sand and dismiss this as nothing. Castore have been pretty poor already in terms of quality, stock and no customer service. Add in any involvement with thr fatman means im out from buying any more from them until the full story is clear.
Hopefully they have doneThey were fućk all when we signed up with them, said it at the time we announced the deal, Rangers should have insisted in a The option to exit the contract if there was any involvement with a MASH company / subsidiary.
Castore have 100% done a deal with Newcastle.
The full story will never be “clear” because there are some desperate for Ashley to be unveiled as Castore. Ill-founded rumours will continue to be pushed each year. In fact, he’s probably trying to sell Newcastle so he can concentrate on coming after us...
Odd that it would stop you buying our merchandise.
This stinks. Its as if Ashley is trying to sanitise business dealings as sales are slumping. He gets a new clean firm to front it and back handedly gets the profits.
I hope I'm wrong but have an uneasy feeling we're still lining his pockets.
Did you see ours?It was announced ages ago
I saw the kit designs the other day

Fat Mike may be wealthy but in the current climate his business are hardly drowning in liquidityAshley could buy Castore at the drop of a hat.
Castore have enough investment behind them to rebuff any offer from Ashley, in the highly unlikely event of one being made.Ashley could buy Castore at the drop of a hat.
Seriously suspicious that the Ashley is involved with Castore ,using them to make money from us through the back door.Hate hearing Castore and Ashley being mentioned in the same sentence.
Ashley is selling up the Toon to buy Celtic from DD and take his revenge on Dave King on the pitch.
Please share
Very very true.... I smell a rat!!That’s my first reaction - treat with suspicion
"Whenever theres any doubt, theres no doubt"Hmm it makes me very suspicious hearing things like this. Despite no obvious link, I still feel uneasy hearing about SD, Ashley and Castore in the same breath.
I think your right mate. A kind of stone island type football kit.
Castore have 100% done a deal with Newcastle.
Has been trying his hardest for about the last 5 years, the only reason anything does not sell be it a car/house/pair of shoes is that because it is too dear, and i think he is asking 100m over its true value.He's selling the club?
I want away from Castore at the earliest opportunity. Regardless of length of deal it can be renegotiated/bought out by others.
Come next season we’ll be an even more attractive option to other kit manufacturers. They’ll want in on the action.
I get the bespoke angle Castore give us but personally like I said, I’d prefer us to exit the deal with them.
castore should be making sure our 150th edition tops are spot on and making sure the kit is not falling to bits before going any where near another sports team
not too mention half the merch on the website is out of stock.
walk before you run springs to mind

Totally agree. I just have a feeling somethings not quite above board. Can't quite put my finger on it though. Just a hunchI want away from Castore at the earliest opportunity. Regardless of length of deal it can be renegotiated/bought out by others.
