Halbro? that's going a bit backwards.... surely they could have picked something a little bit more known.... BLK, ISC, even Kappa

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.

Just how are Salford, even with a billionaire owner, in such a $@%t mess?

ISC won't come anywhere near a team if you cannot shift at least 8,000 shirts.

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.

Because he is a front for someone else and is working to a script. Anybody remember the Hotel in Liverpool he started to build before going bust and then another company finishing it off?

I would say from the fans point of view it is marginally better than Halbro

They ordered way too much gear from Under Armour and then could not pay for it leading to a Court order being served. They did the same with Kooga and were a couple of hours from having their shop at the Willow's emptied by Baliff's before someone paid the bill.

It is well documented about their failure to pay people and companies so we do not need to do it again on here.

Sad if true.

Could that be a reason London are moving away from Jako who seemed to own all retail at the Hive?

The owner of Barnet FC is the UK distributor of Jako. I am not sure the kit was the sole reason for moving but he would have certainly insisted they wear his kits whilst living in his stadium I would have thought.
