Fat Mike owns various brands and one of the largest sports distributors in Europe if not the world. Why would he go outside his own group of businesses to source a strip he could produce and market himself? As said already on this thread, Newcastle fans will buy regardless so all he is doing is diluting how much his business and the club make by outsourcing it.
Now that's not to say it has anything to do with us, it could be a sweetner for future business deals with regards to Castore, which is becoming a big name rapidly, using Frasers and other Ashley outlets to market their non sports ranges, or any other kind of business deal. But we would be daft to dismiss it out of hand when this cunt is involved.
