I don't see us as having massive potential really. If we get in the PL big crowds don't count for much, especially as we can't charge as much for tickets as the southern teams. The likes of West Ham for example get bigger gates and charge twice as much for a ticket. I don't doubt their hospitality will be much more lucrative too. The last time we were up there we were one of the lowest earners. I'm sure the commercial side could be improved upon and if we weren't so dull to watch, we might get a bit more TV money, but even so if we can't even compete with West Ham financially, how high can we go realistically ?

An investor could buy any club in the Championship and do the same but a year quicker.

A club like ours isn't going to make fortunes in hospitality which is how clubs like Fulham and west ham do it, they sell tickets as part of a weekend in london experience, it's embarrassing if you ask me, football has grown too big and "tourists" should stick to Bucky palace.

But since the cats now out of the bag we have to capitalise on the Netflix series and with that still reasonably fresh in people's minds we need to invest to get back to the premier League and potentially have a Sunderland till I die feature over the next couple of seasons which shows that, it doesn't even need to be behind the scenes, just bring an end to the series with us retiring to the prem.

Then we can exploit that, particularly in America, I men's for fuck sake we play in red and white and the us and south America is full of sports fans who love an underdog. We should be a marketers dream yet instead we're pissing about masquerading as a league one club.

It was on the Roker Report podcast last night. Also interesting Magnus over the road has said he will announce his source when its announced as the person is leaving the club. Hopefully that source is Fox

I always get the impression Neil Fox doesn’t particularly like our fans. If he is Mangnus’ source (who said he could put what he was told up in the boards) then I hope telling us about the dream consortium isn’t a last cruel trick and parting shot before William Storey is revealed.

Slightly o/t, I appreciate that Fox could be an unfortunate victim of the edit whilst viewing STID but he's like a nodding dog, the ultimate yes man. I'm sure he won't be missed if he's leaving.
