Got a few Geordie Mags fan mates and they corroborate the story that Mike Ashley held the rights to selling the official replica shirts not only for Newcastle United but also Rangers exclusively through his Sports Direct stores.
There are articles online reporting that the clubs got 7p per £1 of a shirt sold and Mike Ashley the remainder.
£60 shirt?
£4.20 to NUFC/Rangers
£55.80 to Mike Ashley
With all the trauma of the last 10 years weighing heavily, my thoughts are we are better off with our current owner.
Just let that sink in.
Absolute No from me.
Chansiri (still) Out.
