Up for sale just as they'd be expecting their highest orders/revenues with orders set to come in over the next month for 2014/15.

A potential Sports Direct acquisition?
I think sports direct are fine for Kashmir supplies thanks to slazenger[emoji2] . Can't imagine they would need English willow bats, not unless they were £29.99 - 90% off rrp.

Odd timing don't you think?

good timing as it gives the new owner time to sort next season's stash.

going to be a decent sized 6 figure sum I would guess. (plus there is trescothic's salary to think of)

going to need more than a loan guys!

Wonder if there is an opportunity to crowdsource through one of the websites? Would need someone willing to step up and run it though.

Really? Orders need to be placed by June, or July at the latest to be delivered here for late October and deliveries to shops. (30 day on a boat + factory lead times). It only makes sense if the new owner is going to abandon the retailer model, and sell direct.

To me it's in incredibly odd time to sell - retailers place their orders in September/October, which retailer is going to invest in a brand who's future is insecure?

My assumption would be they don't have the financial muscle to buy sufficient new kit for 2015.

I think that red light is because they have tried to dissolve the company on 1 July but that was canceled 23 August.

That man who did the Q&A is not the majority shareholder by the the way CBF admin people.

On a side note .....  The net worth of other cricket companies makes interesting reading!

There was talk of them going into admin/changing owners in June time. This quietly went away though, surprised to see a brand up for sale at this time of year.

Is it a trade show or is it open to the public?

Who is the chap that did the q&a then ? Is he selling or buying it ? From the answers to the questions he seemed far from wanting to sell ?
