Dwight Gayle has scored 6

Tbf Gayle was absolutely class in the championship for us, scored 24 in 28 games, but can't really do it in the premier league. Never scored more than 7 in the top flight

My two best mates from school are Mags and we used to meet up once a year - the promotion year for the Mags they were banging on about how they would be fine with the forwards they had and I pointed out that Gayle couldnt get a regular game for Palace and the backup was Daryl Murphy. The look of dawning realisation on their faces was beautiful and tragic at the same time

The worm is turning with a few of the less
Simpleton mags, realising that The waiter is playing a game for himself rather than the club.
As a poster mentioned previously whoever takes over from Paella boy is on a hiding to nothing.
f***ing chuckle, league Gwan to humping the scum in 12 months! Bring it on

Mitrovic + Gayle is a much better front 2 than they can put out this season.

 

[Latka Gravas]

Leicester are a piss pot club to be honest got lucky and won the league

Give your head a shake

Shouldn't gloat what with being 2 leagues below but , class, long may it continue.

Oh and a mandatory fuck off.

Why not ?
We are 4th, scoring goals, feeling quite happy every week and turning the ship around.
They are 3rd bottom, playing shite, not scoring and feeling miserable every week.
Being 2 divisions away is irrelevant.

Scum fans don't worry. The annual buy out and spend 500 mill is back on as we head toward xmas

The Mags have totally backed themselves into a corner with the adoration of Benitez.

If they were to question him now they'd have to admit they'd been wrong all along.

So they're stuck with the whole ridiculous situation and will have to persevere with it long after he's gone ...... quite pathetic tbh

I think they would actually do better without him. He seems to be holding them back to me. Then of course we will get it's the team rafa built etc if they start winning when he's gone.

With us failing under Ashley and he wants to sell can I ask why you bought Sunderland and not Newcastle? We have more of a chance to win trophies with you other investors, just curious why Sunderland? @stewartdonald3 #nufc #safc

I just wanted the biggest club in the North East so it was only ever going to be @SunderlandAFC . Simples!!!

Magic!!!

How much is Newcastle valued at? I think they got Sunderland at a bargain price!

Around £200m isn't it? You can see why there isn't exactly a queue a mile long wanting to buy them....

 

[CARLOS CLASS]

It’s reported Ashley wants towards £400m

Added to that, the way elements of their support behave won’t have helped but they are too thick and up themselves to realise this.

And he wants £300m minimum by all accounts. I wouldn’t buy spam for £30 when I can get steak for 30p

Quite a lot of money.

I like our current owners, it looks like they have a medium / long term
Vision with potential investment and backing from Juan and his family.

Although I am hoping that if the Russian wants to invest, it does not coincide with a Government clamp down on Russian billionaires being able to invest in the UK, due to strained relationships between the two countries! That would be be typical Sunderland!

 

[Kid Galahad]

Where did I get £200m from then? Is that what the Stavely led consortium was willing to pay then??

 

[Slow joe]

If I had the money to buy a football club I wouldn't dream of buying them morons. I'm not just saying it from a safc point of view but the banners, funerals, shop shouting, Rafa love in, it's fuckin pathetic. Why would I want to invest in a club where if the fans aren't happy with me will do all they can to destroy my other businesses. Fuck that.

 

[Blyth]

Just shows you despite all the sniping, the piss taking they’ve tried they’re jealous as fuck that we have caring owners.

Not sure mate, I think he put his price up when the PL income jumped again - which is perfectly logical tbf

 

[Reiver]

It's not though is it ... loads of people making guesses, £310m is 'towards' £400m.

Staveley's offer included various caveats regarding relegation, the HMRC, etc.

The fact is that owning NUFC isn't a big deal for Ashley, despite the supporters believing the club is the centre of everyone's universe.

As much as I love the NE, including Newcastle, it's obvious there's very little there for the kind of buyer the Mags crave ....

... rich Sheikhs and Oligarchs aren't attracted by the chance of ' a great neet oot' in the self proclaimed party town.

A most unusual case of a group of people knifing themselves in the back while being totally unaware of what they're doing

Most definitely this....and also the local press. Souness has said it on numerous times when on Sky and Pardew and Allardyce have also alluded to this in the past but they just don't take the hint.
