Quote ="middleman"Its a parable
we lost money the previous Kit suppliers Kooga - UA . and it also restricted the options on casual wear ,
just as the owners ' big name signings ' didn't pay in results.
MK started out believing if he brought in big names & a ' big name kit supplier' that would make us a more successful club- overnight.
Now our recruitment is decidedly austere,with more rational ambitions . and the club may actually make money with Halbro and have more options on leisure wear to sell alongside.
I also suspect ISC, ERREA BLK wouldn't touch us with a bargepole.'"
A) You have a deal with Raging Bull and not Halbro
B) You did not lose money, you did not pay the suppliers who took you to court and got CCJ's against you so in fact you only paid the amount you owed. MK ordered a silly amount of Under Armour shirts then remembered you dont have a shop so sold them out of boxes behind the bar.
C) You are correct that every brand worth it's salt turned down the chance to get involved and with Raging Bull being one of the only options the club accepted very strict payment terms and handed over the retail operation meaning they get a royalty on replica sales and not control their own merchandise.
It is a sad situation that your owner and management brought upon themselves.
