The brand, which has Andy Murray among its investors, has already lost the likes of Newcastle United and Aston Villa from their portfolio this season.

Castore’s financial statements – filed to Companies House – reveal that the company faced extraordinary expenses exceeding £24.4million over the past year, resulting in a net loss.

Prior to factoring in these exceptional costs, the company’s operating profit plummeted from £16.5m to just £399,148.
