If Donald stays and the Arabs takeover the Mags the gap will become that big there is a possibility that the rivalry would slowly die. They are going to be at least challenging for the top six and winning the odd cup. Were as we will be yoyo-ing between League One and The Championship. And that's down to how badly Donald has ran the club.

We don't know what's going to happen, but that's definitely not the 'at least' scenario. The 'at least' scenario is that they keep on running a tight ship, improve the areas Ashley has obviously neglected and keep the club steady and solid in the Premier League before selling on for a profit in a few years.

You can piss off with that shite. You must have been walking around with your eyes shut if you didn't notice the amount of kids (an embarrassingly adults for that matter) suddenly sporting mag tops in traditional Sunderland areas from 1992. Saying that if you're from Ferryhill you would have missed all this anyway so maybe you'd be better off keeping your mouth shut about things you have no idea about. There's a good lad.

With FFP being relaxed watch the Mags sign the likes of Koubally (sp) and Coutinho while we're getting ripped apart by some shit nobody from Accrington Stanley. I wonder who kids in Durham and the like are going to support, us or them 🤔

Probably them. Traitorous little shits.

I think the Rivalry is already getting less, its born from competition in the same league. The longer the two teams stay apart the less it gets especially in regard to young new fans.
Not saying our teams will but if we stay in the premiership never looking like being relegated for 10 years and you stay in league 1, if that's all young fans have known they won't even be on each others radar.
Even when i look at myself I used to check the Sunderland score as soon as the games finished on a Saturday obviously hoping you lost.
This season I have often not bothered to find out if i'm out of the house, I have found myself saying to friends who are Sunderland fans on Monday/ Tuesday how did you get on at the weekend and not being arsed either way if you won or lost.

So you are a regular poster on here but can go 2 or 3 days without finding out the scores of our matches? Impressive.

Following the purchase, by the time they invest in training facilities and ground improvements, that would push their investment to around the billion pound mark and have them in the same position as Everton, Wolves and West Ham in terms of spending. The club would still only be worth around £350m. As this is an investment by a country’s investment fund which is looking to break it’s future dependency on oil, how do you think this will benefit them and are there any potential returns to be made.

The Man City owner is a fella indulging himself with a new toy, unlike the PIF who will invest but would obviously expect some return in order to fulfil it’s objective.

How much are you expecting them to spend on the ground and training facilities? £500-650m?

Then why did you join up to a Sunderland forum? Because your Sima account is/was banned?

only on here at the moment because something quite big is happening and it's a good talking point. before this take over looked likely i hadn't been here for a year or two.
once the take over is done if it gets done you'll probably not see me here for a year or two again.
yer i know I won't be missed, no need to tell me.

But with Donald at helm the gap will still be widening. If the Arabs keep them stable (I can see them following the "real" Borussia Dortmund model not Methven's bullshit quote) we will still be going backwards.

Why would you come up with a ridiculous figure like that?

The lad suggested spending £500m on transfers, add on the £300m purchase price and you’re at £800m already before you consider building a new training ground and spending money on a ground most mags admit needs a revamp. Does that not take spending to ‘around the £1B mark’?

Rivalry will always be there due to how close we are and our history.

And due to how completely obsessed a reasonable % of fans from both sides are with the other. Not saying there’s owt wrong with it, probably the sign of a passionate rivalry, but makes me laugh when you see people dishing it out towards the other and saying it’s all part of the rivalry and banter, then as soon as they see/hear it being dished out at them the same people cry obsessed or “rent free”.
 
Living down in Manchester I’d say the rivalry will subside from their side but probably intensify from ours.

I’m going off how City fans were towards United which bordered on obsessive whereas United had a bigger rivalry with Liverpool.

There was still a rivalry of course and there always will be with us and them but I’d imagine they’ll develop a new one with Arsenal or Spurs or whatever, like City and Liverpool seem to all of a sudden hate each other.
