The Fish 10543 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Doesn't the deal mean SD make, stock and sell all NUFC products? So we may be buying at a discount, stocking at cost price, but SD benefit more from this deal than NUFC does? Given they now have monopoly on NUFC products?

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I'm guessing thats why 3.5 million went to sports direct recently? But shouldn't we get something for the advertising? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given they now have monopoly on NUFC products?Why did SD pay nufc £1.7m in last years accounts and nowt in this years? Suggests to me they bought all the club stock when the deal kicked in. Wonder what sort of discount they got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggests to me they bought all the club stock when the deal kicked in. Wonder what sort of discount they got. Of course they'd have to buy all the stock in order to take over the retail operation. It's claimed to have been at arms length but there's no real way to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 When the other fatman was in charge he charged the club a fortune to store the club merchandise in a warehouse he owned in Walker .Remember our Gibralter office for Dougie Hall.They were/are all in it for the money.

ewerk 29851 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 They've taken over the operation of the club's retail arm. I don't believe it's an outright purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club claim SD only sell them goods at cost. NUFC own their retail 100%. Why would SD buy all the clubs stock and then sell it back to them?

ewerk 29851 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 The club's stock of merchandise was moved to SD's central warehouse facility in 2013, for which I imagine SD paid the club for the total amount moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 29851 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Remember those heady days when we were blessed with the likes of Andy Griffin and Andy O'Brien? To those who can't remember, they were defenders. Defenders are players whose primary job on the pitch is to stop the opposition scoring. Ah the memories of having defenders.

Dr Gloom 21630 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 O'Brien used to get some shit on here. Amazing that a team with him and the likes of bramble, Hughes, griffin et al could mix it with the likes of juve and inter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the attack carried them a lot but still, they put the current lot to shame tbh. Mind to be fair I think coaching probably had a lot to do with it really.

Very fond memories of that side though, I still say to this day Titus would play like Bobby Moore for six games or so then we'd be on sky and he'd balloon a clearance straight to Henry or Van Nistlerooy Edited May 5, 2015 by PaddockLad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember us playing Chelsea and Bramble having Drogba in his back pocket all game, Drogba couldn't do anything for him but late on Chelsea humped up a long ball Titus lost the flight and completely misjudged it resulting in a Drogba goal. Think it was always a concentration issue with him, he had all the physical traits and ability (some of his long balls were canny) but then he'd switch off and cost us a goal.

Monkeys Fist 41554 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Opposition fans got wise to Bramble- they'd waft shrimp butties and once Bubba got a whiff, that was his concentration fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
