puma deal expired
End of November.When (approximately) will we have the next AGM?
Yes I know that. What I mean is if Elite were worried about losing out on money/about this in general, then they wouldnt have done the pop up shop. Read my previous posts instead of winking smuglyThe pop up that Marshall made extremely clear in various posts had been set up directly between him and Elite with no input, advice or contact with Rangers.
Has anyone ever heard of a contract that lasts ad Infinitum ? I haven’t .
It’s back to buying no merchandise as of now. SD will make money from sales. Back to boycotting .So basically it’s back to not buying any merchandise next season then?I want this fat bastard to drop dead.
Exactly mate.He couldn’t give a %^*& about the retail deal it’s personal between him and King and Dermotts paws are all over this too.
Problem we have no is what company is going to what to offer us a deal that is similar in % compensation to the Elite deal now? If we are back to the Puma type deal next season then deary me.Similar terms it says. Read from 5.10.
From where I sit, the Learned Judge has gone by the contract written between us and SDI. We all know that SDI had their placemen on Rangers at the time and they were the ones who signed this ridiculous deal. There really is nothing we can do about it until it expires except to mitigate the damage these unscrupulous individuals have caused us. We can appeal everything and wait until we are in a better monetary position before offering SDI a settlement that the fat man can accept. Unfortunately, the Learned Judge can only go by the written contract in front of him and that is his only route.
Let’s just say that’s possible The problem the board have is football clubs arnt normal businesses. In normal terms a business would sell a asset pay the x millions and get rid of the contract. However imagine we sold moreles to pay Ashley and didn’t buy a replacement . The fans would be in outrage and at this point with them so close to 10 is that really a option .
We don't have much of a choice. Otherwise it's no merchandise revenue again and we're continually financially hampered.
How in the name of fukk can these bastard judges not see this for what it is.
A complete stich up.
Why why why?
Whoever was involved in this fiasco and thought we were doing everything above board should be removed from club immediately
First thing that should have been looked at was the contract between us and that fat wxnk
It clearly has not been looked at or worse it was an some inept clown thought we could walk away without repercussions, that for me is a sackable offence
That’s what I thought . We paid £3 million to get ourselves out of it . I don’t see how any Judge can just ignore that .
Anyone know how much damages we are looking at.
There MUST be some deal we can come up with that would completely dissuade SDI from matching it.
The simple solution would be to offer a deal to, let's say Elite, that says they must sell a certain number of strips (this figure could be based on historical data from a certain period, for example the last 20 years), and if they don't sell that number of strips they have to pay us compensation (a cash amount that would cover selling those strips).
Clearly, if Elite (or whoever) got the contract,they would have no problem reaching that figure...whereas if Fat Boy got the contract and we boycotted him again, he'd have to pay us for all the unsold strips.
Surely it can't be too hard for the club to come up with a deal like this??
That would be fine in a criminal court. A jury would buy that in a heartbeat. This is down to plain black and white.How SD's alleged losses amount to multiple millions makes no sense to me. SD made very little during the boycott... that was the reality of what this deal was worth to them. We only sell the current numbers based on the fact we believed SD were no longer involved. Surely an appeal on this basis would be winnable?
Some folk really need to calm down. We wont be paying SD anything yet & we will continue as things stand for the foreseeable future. This will rumble on for some time through the courts until its resolved one way or another. More than likely an agreement will be struck between both parties at some point in the future.
A better option would be to not bother with a high profile manufacturer and go and source our own. Pay for the manufacture up front ourselves and sell at market value. No Adidas, no elite, no umbro, no template strips. Sell that space off to a second sponsorship. Outside of the cost of the shop and online retail the profit is ours. Surely we can muster something together that he won't contemplate for long. Its drastic but we're being backed into a corner now.There MUST be some deal we can come up with that would completely dissuade SDI from matching it.

A crooked one by the sound of it, laws a complete assin what scenario does a judge think that allowing a corporation to have its boot at the neck of another one is acceptable?
CorrectAre we not meant to be appealing this?

This has been addressed earlier. We only get to offer them the basic stuff to match - revenue share, length etc. Special clauses/ideas like this they would not be obliged to match.
That's what I'm thinking. Do it along the lines of the Diadora strip mentioned in the other thread whereby Diadora were basically just a sponsor for our own sourced and manufactured strips. If SDI don't want to match the terms (which would be almost impossible given we would be entitled to 100% minus costs), then they should be out of the contract?A better option would be to not bother with a high profile manufacturer and go and source our own.

A few people, named in the judgement,from our club haven't covered themselves in glory during the case.The judge panned them.
Yes, didn't judges in Scotland say that technical issues of law that fly in the face of common sense can be ignored due to new legal instructions from the EU?If only common sense were applied , now where have I heard that before.
But then you are basically approaching a professional company like JD and saying gonna offer us 100% of the revenue initially then we will sort you out? It's just not how a company like that would operate.Then could we not make it that we get 100% of the revenue share up until a certain number of strips are sold, then the distributors get a payment from us?
