Reading the Sunday papers this morning it appears that ASDA want to control football shirt sales,

In my blog earlier this week I questioned “are supermarkets running the country?”. Well I think this one is going to run and run. James Hall reported in the Sunday Telegraph today questioning ASDA’s threat to call in the Office of Fair Trading if the shirt manufacturers don’t bow to Wal-Mart - the worlds largest retailer. “The retailer wrote to football shirt makers last week demanding that they abandon their long term policy of refusing to sell football shirts through supermarkets” - who the hell do they think they are?

Football clubs make money from shirts, which pay for youth squads etc and whilst the Man Utd’s and Chelseas of this world can afford it all comfortably, there aren’t many football clubs actually making a profit. Trumpo says leave them be.

Whatever next? Watch this Trumpo space.
