Glad to see the shirts being sold in somewhere other than the club shop or Dominos toy shop, but does it have to be a supermarket?? (and just the one at that).Whats wrong with allowing the likes of JJB, sportsdirect, etc being able to sell them?

Has Milan bought shares in wal-mart? :icon_wink

ages ago people were kicking off that football shirts couldn't be sold in supermarkets (like they were in Jockland), they argued that the stores would lower prices for sale of shirts therefore kill off the shocking 'price fix' that has been on football shirts for so many years.

will be interesting to see if they sell at a more reasonable price or whether your money will just go into someone elses pockets.

Can't see that if this is an MM venture. Just another outlet to sell through, bigger market etc.

MM isn't allowed to tell them what price to sell at. He can offer guidelines by issuing an RRP and can make it very difficult for them if they don't stick it, but he can't fix the price.

If Asda sell at 10% less then the club shop, and they sell 5x the amount, I think MM will be more than happy.

Agreed .

Possibly but I'd have thought the market for City shirts was fairly limited. Any sales at Asda would impact on the Sales at the City shop - which may reduce profits - which I presume is MM's target.

But presumably ASDA have to buy them from/via LCFC, so we make a profit anyway. ASDA cannot just buy them wholesale from the manufacturer like tins of beans!

but they won't pay the same markup as retail.

I'm sure you are right, there will be one or two buying shirts from Asda instead of the club shop. But I'm equally sure Asda will generate enough new business to make that insignificant.

I'm sure the buyers from Asda have completely overlooked this. What silly c**ts they are.

Sorry, your post above confused me then, many apologies.

I thought you were suggesting that MM could get rid of all the old style shirts to Asda and then sell the new ones himself, ultimately leaving Asda with a load of unsaleable shirts.

I think I'm losing the plot.

Why should it bother us where, how and when they sell city shirts?

Face........ bothered :icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:

can anybody tell me if the club buys stationary at either Viking Direct or do they stroll across the road to Staples? They could save some money there if they cross quote when buying.
Done properly I bet they could save £10 a year on tipex alone. More money for players eh?

Viking Direct is one of the best companies I use.

No, they move around when they buy stuff.
