When will they be available again to buy?
Probably something to do with the oaf with the Puma rights.This whole situation is a farce, well done to King and the board getting the deal sorted of course, but why is it taking so long to get them back in stock? (I am not blaming the board here before anyone starts).
That guys a dick. You would have thought it would have benefitted him to get these out asap. He would have made more money with this deal in the last few months than he has made with his shite deal over the last few years.Probably something to do with the oaf with the Puma rights.

Sadly I fear he is involved in a war of attrition with us and he's the only one who can lose. Time and time again we've proven we won't be beaten.That guys a dick.

Got the home for 20 sheets back in June when announcement was made.
Roll on the release of the away....even though it is a Puma training top
About time someone spoke sense on this. But hey let's not let logic get in the way of moaning.It's not a farce at all. I work in consumer goods.
The support weren't buying the tops. They were sitting on shelves gathering dust.
Therefore you don't make any more. Not only do you not make any more, you don't buy in any more material. Not only do you not buy in any more matieral, but you probably cut your losses on the raw materials you do have by utilising it for other products you make, or selling it off in bulk to other customers.
There's a supply chain of multiple companies, probably across multiple countries, that all have lead times before strips can be supplied again. 3 - 4 months is not at all uncommon and indeed is actually quicker than normal in consumer goods.
Aye but they can create a whole new away top and start producing that and schedule that in before a home top that has been out for more than a year?It's not a farce at all. I work in consumer goods.

Ashley doesn't own pumaProbably something to do with the oaf with the Puma rights.
But surely it's the same raw materials that they already use for millions of other strips? And why did they say 6 to 8 weeks back in June?It's not a farce at all. I work in consumer goods.

The away top is a generic template - it wouldn't surprise me at all if they've taken an allocation (for example) of the Chelsea training top and reworked it to get an away top out asap.Aye but they can create a whole new away top and start producing that and schedule that in before a home top that has been out for more than a year?
I assume the whole model of making a top like you explained before would need to be followed for the away top and more so with the design etc.

What other 'millions of strips' are in the same blue as ours with the same background pattern?But surely it's the same raw materials that they already use for millions of other strips? And why did they say 6 to 8 weeks back in June?
The production side will be next to nothing mate.Interesting to hear from someone in the business. I appreciate that they may not have been stocking Kits because we weren't buying them, but I was surprised it takes 3-4 months to run the production. I didn't really think of the raw material side of things.
No, he doesn't, but he owns their merchandising rights in the U.K.Ashley doesn't own puma
Fair enough mate. Good insight into that side of things. I suppose ignorancevis shown by many, including myself, with these type of things.The away top is a generic template - it wouldn't surprise me at all if they've taken an allocation (for example) of the Chelsea training top and reworked it to get an away top out asap.
The home top will require to be made from scratch.

I said the same raw materials mate. And again why were we told 6 to 8 weeks?What other 'millions of strips' are in the same blue as ours with the same background pattern?
I know you did. One of the raw materials that Puma will buy in from a supplier - probably in China - will be royal blue fabric with a check pattern in the background.I said the same raw materials mate. And again why were we told 6 to 8 weeks?

As long as he's not making a bean I'm happy to take that.No he doesn't puma handle that themselves.
