Originally Kitbag, now Fanatics deal extended

On the surface of it, dreadful news of course.

This bit:

“Our fans can look forward to an even wider range of Club merchandise, no matter where they are in the world.”

... how he said that without laughing is beyond me.

That's what I like to see: hard hitting investigative journalism.


If the thought ever crossed his mind to ask just how much it was worth to Everton he concealed that well.

....difficult to comment without knowing the detail and what other options were available.

That is a bit sensible. Wrong forum.

I think when the 'Everton Family' was mentioned I knew then it wasn't exactly going to be an in depth exposé.

That is a totally bizarre 'interview'.

I can understand the bloke isnt a professional and is probably nervous and forgot a few things to say but its just a fluff piece.

I had a colleague who attended a meeting in London last year and he 'forgot to ask' the numbers, instead leaving it to me over the other side of the world to arrange a call to london with the same people to discuss.

Needless to say he didnt last much longer after that.

Its the most important question.

You're the one with the sad face 2nd right?

No idea if the contract is good for EFC or not, but Fanatics over here (US) is solid in my experience. Their Fanatics-branded gear is pretty decently designed and inexpensive. Would be great if this allowed them to bring some more US-centric EFC gear to market, as the casual stuff is hard to get here and tailored to the UK/EU market IMO.

Gave up even the merest semblance of independence years ago these two. Anyone who subscribes to this tosh is getting the full club catnip.

Bet this is a bad deal, and some nob tries to blame Kenwright

McCarthy tried that, injured and out for six weeks.

It will that for sure. The selection of Everton stuff right now is pitiful. I’d imagine they will also manage our other retail licensing relationships, which we seem to have almost none of. Won’t affect whoever is going to design our kits or at least shouldn’t. They already have the FA, the NFL, and many others - as an example, if Nike is fine with them cutting a deal with the Oregon Ducks, which is basic the pioneer when it comes to sports apparel in the US and a massive part of what Nike does, we should have some confidence that Fanatics can get some of this right.

I have got full confidence in our magnificent Savior owner. I believe he would leave nothing to chance and wouldn't be taking a gamble with such an important aspect of our revenue.

Get with the program carlin, you should know by now that when we make a bad signing, do a bit of crap business, then it's all down to BK, when it's the reverse, great signing/business deal, then Brands is a messiah, and Moshiri is absolutely boss.
