Id be gutted, but what can I do about it? I just want what is best for my club, unfortunately at the moment we have Brian Potter to your Peter Stringfellow
Thought I'd be more pissed off tbh but I'm not. There's other things happening right now to think about, and anything football related is way down the list. Plus the fact we're a few divisions below that we couldn't even compete on their level anyway, rich Arabs or not. Not worth getting worked up about.
 
Utter bollocks.
As an impartial observer of North East Football this reveals a fundamental difference between the two clubs and supporters. Undoubtedly this fuels the impression the clubs forge on a national scale and in the media.

There is a romantic notion with Newcastle that captivates people. Difficult to pinpoint it but we see it in the mythical number 9 shirt, the associations with transcend figures such as Keegan and Robson.

The “atmosphere”, which has been largely absent over the last 10 years but it is almost a trademark association with Newcastle that somehow and some way is still attractive to a billionaire prospective buyer.

That is what got under the skin of such a renowned super coach as Benitez and beguiles people who want to buy into it.

As north easterners we all recognise Sunderland has a the same traits and associations but it never comes to national or international prominence in the way it does at Newcastle.

it’s a peculiar phenomenon, really, that somehow has outlived a 13 year reign of asset stripping under Ashley.
