I have to say, listen, if you've got a company that's basically sitting there saying to you, look, we'll give you X amount of money, like X hundreds of thousands of pounds, and we'll manage your shop so that, you know, we'll staff it, we'll basically look after it, we'll do all the key, you know, the e-commerce, we've got a website, everything else.
It's a no-brainer deal, especially with the way that the Millwall shop's been run.
over the years, over the past year.
So all of a sudden, in their eyes, and we get to the point where it all went wrong, but in their eyes, you've got a company that's basically established, proven, doing really well, got loads of contacts within fabric and merchandising areas.
You go, I said, I'll do it.
Then all of a sudden, there was a European court ruling regarding
They got fined.
Price fixing with people like with Rangers and Sports Direct.
And they got hit with massive fines.
I mean, millions and millions of pounds worth of fines.
I think, you know, we're talking massive fines.
And I think the lead group had about a 900 grand fine.
And literally, just after that all become public, two weeks later, they went pop.
But they were printing stuff and making stuff.
I read it was 9 million, by the way.
I think that was Sports Direct or Rangers.
But yeah, I think they had about 900,000.
But then, like Hashtag says...
They were basically, they're supposed to have agreed, you know, they had a non-exclusivity on the brand, which basically means, because we've looked into this, basically means that I could design anything with a brand on it, send it to the brand owner and say, are you okay with this?
They then say, yes.
