I honestly think having the WC in the middle of the season could be the biggest benefit to us this year and may help us push a little higher up than we might have. Big break in the middle of the season where maybe 3/4/5 of ours will be away on international duty. Schar, Trippier, Bruno current internationals who's teams are confirmed - Wood (New Zeland) Fraser (Scotland) potentially as well. Plus any other internationals we sign but I'm not expecting a raft of players leaving. You look at teams like Wolves, Leicester, West Ham etc that have a lot of internationals from all over who could be missing.
It's still working together and having a bit more of a break - I'm sure it won't be as intense as a World Cup.
Initially they said pre orders from 01 June at 10am but it was changed to coming soon. It’s a legal issue I reckon.
I’m going for a Friday afternoon release. Unless the 01 June was meant to say 10 June and it’s to coincide with us making a galactic signing.
I think they've shot their load and been reeled in and told that it will be the club announcing stuff and not them.
Possibly. But surely they would communicate that kind of thing? Unless Jimmy in marketing didn’t get the memo. He’s now unemployed!
They have been a **** up for months and months on end. No one can get hold of them, they've done all sorts of daft **** like sending out shirts without badges n all sorts and people left unable to get refunds and exchanges.
My brother got done by the refund crap: he bought me a strip which was to small and tried to send it back and they wouldn’t accept.
I ordered a load of stuff of the site for my brothers birthday (about 10 days ago now) about a month ago. Currently arguing with them as they issued a refund without confirming with me that they couldn't provide the items as they sold out - they then sent me their t&c's - where it doesn't mention issuing a refund if out of stock BUT does explain once you pay for the items you legally own them so I've thrown that back at them and they've gone very quiet. Completely incompetent. I've offered to re-purchase the items at the agreed price and forgo compensation but I want to take my U15's girls team to play the NUFC girls team at SJP
I don’t think it does run out on 22nd though. There would be literally zero to pay if it where and they would have just coughed up. L I said earlier today that the deal Ashley did with fun88 was a rolling renewal contract similar to Bruce’s and the issue is negotiating that. Fun88 know they have us by the short and curlys here.
You'd think that a big reputable company would have a simple computer system that could tell if they have the items in stock before they sell them... otherwise what they are doing is selling products they know isn't available and banking the interest on the money sat in their accounts while they take weeks to decide they don't have it...
