I’m not sure about that. As others have said, they’ve also recruited Wolves and we’ve had the Beahon brothers categorically stating that Ashley has nothing to do with Castore. I think it’s more likely they just have a good working relationship with Ashley, as evidenced by Sports Direct still being a retailer that stocks Rangers merchandise which they confirmed was nothing more than Sports Direct purchasing stock from Castore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we've seen this one play out this way before. Several times. I'd be keeping an eye on it if I was a Rangers fan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club were effectively held to ransom by onerous, uncompetitive retail deals signed by a corrupt board that included Mike Ashley’s men. This is a far cry from that, with the club taking in record breaking income in retail. It’s most certainly a bad look that Ashley and Sports Direct still have the opportunity to sell Rangers merchandise, but I’m quite content that’s a deal between Castore and Sports Direct only. I could be wrong, but that wouldn’t be a first. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could Castore be joining prestigious brands like Donnay, Dunlop and Slazenger.... or just a deal between a sportswear firm and a large EPL club..... If only Romeo or Hell bhoy qc was here... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I recall we were told once that Ashley was gone and that was then overturned after he took litigation against the club as there was a clause written into the original agreement that SD had an option to match any future merchandise offers which Rangers tried to get around, unsuccessfully. I’d understand scepticism if it was only Rangers saying that Ashley no longer has any dealings with Rangers, but the owners of Castore have also said it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Befitting your obsession, better you keep an eye on it, as watching the sheep play can't be much fun, whilst we keep an eye on securing 56 and partying! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBear Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Sadly, haters are going to hate. In all fairness, life can't be easy for them with the fayre they have on display. I'm sure Steven and the squad will be well put off their game and drop points, due to uncle Mike selling a few taps, right? Oh and we're skint. Where's the money Dermot? Oh wait a minute.....! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJF Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Reports doing the rounds again on Twitter that we are set to sign John Lundstram as a free agent after his deal with Sheffield Utd expired. These rumours started last year when it was clear he wasn't going to renew so it seems he has been a target for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has shown that he's a cracking player, but he downed tools at Sheffield Utd. I'd be worried about the kind of money he'd be looking for as well. Gerrard and his team have goodwill banked though, so I'm hopeful that he's one that they think can improve the midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castore have recently been added to the designers available from Flannels which is Mike Ashley’s luxury label brand. I’d agree with you that nothing to see here other than Castore using Ashley’s stores and websites as a vehicle to sell their clothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Nixon basically confirmed it and then Chris Jack has done on article on it too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
