The Guardian article on the matter is pretty interesting. They argue that when news like this breaks, it’s to either smoke out interest or generate publicity.
i've always thought there's more potential at sunderland than newcastle anyway.
they have had their chance and blew it.
it's clear they can't sell many more tickets/shirts/sponsorship anyway and unless they get a huge amount of money invested like man city or chelsea they are always going to be where they are now at best in football terms. their only hope is for some super rich person who wants a new plaything.
with us, at the level we were sold/bought we have the potential for improvement in just about everything to increase revenue. the owners bought us for next to nothing relatively and if everything goes right for us (hopefully) they should be able to make a fair profit on what they paid if they ever sell.

£250m wasn't it? but then an extra £50m if they stayed up. Mike wanted all the cash up front
Where did I get £200m from then? Is that what the Stavely led consortium was willing to pay then??

Them fuckers are gonna implode and I’m gonna Rip the piss every step of the way
It’s to have an excuse not to spend in the January window. There’s little more to it than that.
It’s almost a year to the day since the Stavely rumours started to surface.

What anyone's willing to pay for it, so buggar all for me.

Well Ashley has £240 million invested in them I think, and he isn’t the sort of bloke to sell something unless he’s making a profit imo.
Ashley will strike a helluve a bargain ..............for himself !
Does it matter anyway? Football fans seem to have a strange obsession with the size of their clubs. Innuendo puns ahoy!
Because they want a return on their money. Run this place right and they'll be rolling in it. That would be far harder under the mags

If, by Xmas, there is a real chance we could be playing each other again next year, their support will go mental.

Remember that the magsowe Ashley 150+million. The daft fuckers think they owe nowt. When he leaves he wants his money back. Very similar to our own situation last year. If they go down they are cattled.

Your comments on United are accurate.
The mags have their own issues with not one player showing outstanding effort or ability.
The attack is blunt, the defense creaky (even with Lascelles) and the midfield lack creativity as well as bite.
It has all the makings of a snorefest
Had some players to sell for decent money when they went down last time. Not so much now, so potentially stuck with players on big wages in the championship. Sounds all too familiar to me, we’ve been there
Love Ashley me!
So do I , but wouldn't like to cross him, you don't get to be that rich by being a "nice guy "

Just a wild stab in the dark here but he might value his staff and probably isn’t keen on having groups of people standing outside his other businesses shouting with a portable tannoy
