Our 3 kits

I know.

But it does look smart(ish).

I wanna see it today.

 

Castore insta still has the release news on it.

 

If it is being released today it must still be Fun88 otherwise there would have been some club announcement on sponsorship, Unless there is a big reveal at 10AM

 

I’d be pissed if I was the NUFC web admin

 

Yes.

 

As I said no big reveal. Probably fun88. I’m resigned to this being a slow process. This summer will probably see a few lower class recruits to bulk out the squad. It’ll take Ashworth 2 years just to impact the infrastructure.

 

Coaching staff all wearing the old clobber this morning

 

22 minutes to the big reveal.

 

And here it is chaps…….

 

Next season for the first time in forever, nobody thinks we're in a relegation battle and everyone has this tiny bit of hope that we get Pardew-lucky and somehow end up 6th or higher. We'll go into games, particularly at home, believing we've got a chance. The landscape is already dramatically different. Anything more than that will take a LONG time. UEFA financial restrictions (designed to keep the big at the top) will be harder to catch up to, PL restrictions (which are actually fairer than UEFA's but same principal) restrict us to £105m in losses (allegedly, not sure how this rule doesn't appear to apply to Chelsea or Everton). Any/all of our future success hinges on smart recruitment (takes time), smart trading and bigger commercial deals. The latter will take a lot longer than people think.

The thing most in our favour is we can hire an elite team of scouts, scientists, analysts, executives, etc., and it doesn't impact the rules (presumably designed in favour of City/Liverpool, but now something we can take advantage of) but that's where it ends. We have no decent reserves set-up, no decent womens team, so getting commercial deals will be harder because this **** has to be built from scratch.

However, this is just reality - the claim we will be punching for the title within 5 years is achievable. I just don't think we can expect miracles this early.


NB. Writing this ahead of 10am so we can all point and laugh when Saudia's on the shirt.

 

even if they are it will only be about £20 a £25m

 

Which doesn’t buy half of Joe. But what it will do is increase shirt sales.

Having a large commercial partner would potentially attract more. Then it blows up.

We should be able to generate an additional 60m+ in commercial deals now and we have the whole of saudi to market too.

 

Well the world didn’t end

 

Brewery, Castore, a, Couldn't, piss up, organise, a, in,

 

As I said earlier I think fun88 may be here longer than anticipated.

 

I respect peoples opinions.

However I don't see the PL's new NUFC policing unit rejecting a new FUN88 deal

 

So is it a Castore mess up, or was it again just people with too much time fabricating things?

 

I think it'll be related to my earlier post. Remember during the take-over Staveley had said the PL promised answers on certain days, then always failed to deliver? I wonder if it's similar, as in the sponsor is there and the kits made but we're awaiting the PL's NUFC police to rubber stamp it?

If that's the case, they are ALWAYS going to make it uncomfortable for the club.

 

Nah, that was Castore's official social media pages on Instagram. Advert was still up this morning.

Strikes me like they've shot their load too early and the club have reeled them back in. It show's what an utter cluster **** of an operation they are though.
