I know this has been spoke about on here several times but it is a massively important subject and really has to be addressed by our directors as quickly as possible and relayed to us the loyal supporters, what the hell is happening regarding our new kits which should have been launched on thursday 2nd of June, our kit sale is massive income for the club and very very important if it can be sorted out once and for all! Ed, what's your take on this and do you have any knowledge on what is likely to happen regarding this?
{Ed001's Note - not a clue mate, it is beyond me right now.}

I was under the impression that we will be using the same kit as last season.

Unfortunately our kit sale isn't massive income for the club and only lines Ashley's pocket.

Biffo316,what I'm saying here mate it is a lot of money for our club if it can be fixed out, rangers before all this sports direct tie up had the 2nd biggest replica shirt sales in britain, only manchester utd sold more, that's fact my friend.

Takes 2 willing parties to fix it out and let's be honest mike ashley isn't a willing party i guess we will just have to wait and see on retail as ashley doesn't look like budging any time soon and it will take the board time to try go down the legal route . i for 1 am happy the board are taking there time to try and oust the fat boy.

Warburtonthefifteenth, these things aren't really meant to be spoken of by the company, so you can see why they are being quiet. you are quite right though the kit situation needs to be fixed as it will be a massive income.

Yeah but it's also highly likely the current situation won't be sorted out anytime soon. Wouldn't hold my breath on the new kit or a compromise happening soon. Looks like a long and costly court battle ahead.

Last seasons strips will apply next season also as the strips had to be registered by 3rd June with SPFL. There will have to be a long drawn out court case with Sports Direct before any of this is cleared up, allowing us to gain control of the contract again. The process could be tied up in red tape by Ashley's camp with the hope of Newcastle getting back up immediately this season. He has just appointed another director to Rangers Retail, outnumbering us 3 votes to 2. This won't be resolved for quite a while.

Whose to say the board can legally tell us anything? Just getting worked up over nothing there obviously doing there bests to get rid of ashley. You'll here when they have something to say **** sake.
