Someone got it spot on earlier in the thread. £350m for them £40m for us. Both buy you a club with a lot of passionate support and big stadium that will be full of noisy fans if there is a whiff of success, both take masses on the road. In their favour, they are a Premier League club, but one who could be facing a relegation battle. In our favour, we own the ground, land academy so are potentially a better long term prospect. The trick is getting us back in the Premier League, which is not a certainty. But if you have £310m spending money from what you would have spent on the mags and no long expensive contracts to clear when we get there, that £310m goes a long way.

Given our size but our low value based on our troubles, I think we are an excellent investment prospect and I’m surprised someone has not been in for us before now.

There's also an HMRC investigation hanging over the club which can't help.

I know people keep saying 'slap on the wrist' but it could easily be serious and compromising the sale.

Twice you have said that today, that’s the league cup yes, the same cup you couldn’t sell out in a semi final at home yes?

Where were we in the table at the time? How many home games had we won that season and the season before it? Do you honestly think you'd maintain your attendances if you hadn't won a home game in nearly a year, if you'd been relegated in consecutive seasons finishing bottom of the league on both occasions etc. Football fans are only human. The football was a pile of shite, it was a night match and on TV. Cup games haven't had the pull they once had for yonks now.

And Kenton, Blakelaw, Cowgate, Arthur's Hill, Newburn, Walker, etc

Nowt wrong with Kenton mind.

Some of the houses in that area start at about 300k to buy. You can get an absolute mansion in seaburn for that. I know I’ve looked.

Problem is it’s near Fawdon and Cowgate.

Would be great, but it's unlikely. That's not really my point though. My point is why do they always have to obsess over what we are up to and how we are doing? Even when in league one they have us on the brain.

they detest us as much we do them...Even this early they look a shoe in for the drop imo. If we go up (it's likely) and with our potential investment by 4 multi billionaires they should be very worried. I know if the boot was on the other foot I'd be f***ing dreading the next few seasons

It isn't like.

On the main topic you have to bear in mind the intellect, or lack, of the individuals in question. There are 4 NUFC fans here on site. Only one is in the 'can't believe it / hope it falls through / why not buy NUFC camp.

The rest of us are in the camp of the Derby will be back soon which is great and hopefully they are going to follow the stability model and not the City model.

Oh yes they did! I'll try to find the link, it was jawdropping.

"Newcastle United are back at Wembley.
They take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Wednesday.
United’s record at the national stadium is as black and white as the strips they wear.
The Magpies at one time were, technically speaking, unbeaten at Wembley for 50 years.
On the other hand, they haven’t won a major fixture there for 63 years - and counting.
As they prepare to step out at the new, redeveloped Wembley Stadium for the first time, we recall Newcastle United’s visits to the world-famous football venue."

Quality journalism. They couldn't even get the date right of their 74 cup final. 🤣🤣

Fuck off, dullard. No one gives a solitary shiny shite about your fictional anecdotes.

To be fair I think they are buyable, they've got a good, loyal support, no point denying it. What fucks them is that a) they're £350m (we're £40m, if you spent the extra £310m on the team I'm sure we'd be comfortably better than them) and b) I always think land is an issue. What do they actually own? They lease the ground don't they? And the land around it is council owned. We've got a lot of potential there that they simply don't have (unless I'm wrong)

The main issue for me would be paying £350m for a team managed by Steve Bruce

They can't expand their ground and they're already in the PL so there's little potential for growth

After that it's their fans with unrealistic expectations, tendency to embarrass themselves and a global profile shaped by Geordie Shore 🤮 and YouTube's True Geordie 🍆 🍑
 
Not really. I give a fuck about reading opinions from Sunderland fans, what with being on a Sunderland messageboard and all. Your interminable, obsessed, tedious shite clogging the discussion up is just a bit sad.

No one gives a fuck about you. Stop seeking attention by trolling on your rival's board. I'd be disappointed if my eight year old was showing that behaviour.

Perhaps you could ask your 8 year old to explain the ignore button. Sounds like it will enhance your experience here.

Its got you up nights this news hasn’t it? It would devastate me if the boot was on the other foot like- the race to the first trophy in years goes on- but we are now the richest and they will create a sustainability model but it will eventually put us in the top tier and then top 6- strange how every time safc do well nufc suffer and vice versa

A few of them starting to realise how childish they were with Benitez- the country cringed at them- soon we will be their end of days and the day we relegated them or beat them 6 times in a row like a picnic
