Quote In archaic usage, the vapours (or vapors) is a reference to certain mental or physical states, such as hysteria, mania, clinical depression, bipolar disorder, lightheadedness, fainting, flush, withdrawal syndrome, mood swings, or PMS, where a sufferer lost mental focus. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trublusince1982 243 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 SD don't have to match the JD offer. They only have to match the material parts of the offer. Everything else stays as original deal. By agreeing to match the material offer without seeing what that offer is will stop anyone from bidding when it is up for renewal years from now and will see no continuation of current material match. Fucked He also now gets control of megastore and website as that is what we offered JD in return for material gains That's my take on it all, someone please tell me that's wrong and explain how. Please? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 7 minutes ago, gaspard said: in 2017 rangers announced the renegotiated deal with SD, and clearly stated there was no fixed commitment, well a rolling contract that gives them the rights to scrutinise competitors tenders then match them, looks more like an eternal commitment to me. TRFC and SD hope that the new arrangements will be long standing but there is no longer a fixed commitment on that front. We will rely on combined commercial performance and drive to cement the relationship going forward. Technically, there is no FIXED commitment to provide retail services - Looks like the original press release has been VERY cleverly worded. SD appear to have the right to scrutinize any potential deal & match it if they see fit. If they chose NOT to match the deal, then both parties walk away. However if they DO chose to match it, the train keeps on rolling. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,535 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Looks like we're stuck with fatso. Extremely disappointing. I would urge all Bears to boycott SD stores. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also don't need to do any work with regard to contract renewal - they just let someone else do it, then match it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie - 4lads Blog 922 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 An extremely tiring mess Only call I have is for the board to come out & clarify exactly what this means, how it happened & why Board must exert the promises they gave, clarity & transparency is needed for the support 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublusince1982 243 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Board cannot comment on the financial or material aspects of any commercial deal. All they can say is what SD agree they can say. All we can do is hope to read between the lines and the feeling of the club to be clear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
