@Sima you think I'm doing this to wind you up and I'm not lol, we only made 12 million on your stats which is unbelievable when you consider our crowd's but because Sunderland is a working class city with mainly factory, office and call centre jobs there's not exactly a great demand for 500 pound a match corporate seats with entertainment layed on. So we're far more fucked than you are, I know we have got better at match day income under Ellis short but it's still miles off.

I don't know what this post is? Newcastle is in more or less the same area and we make £25/£27m?

It's purely gate revenue. Here is the TV revenue/merit payment detail.

And if we won the league every year we'd extend the ground and double the gap. Hypotheticals...

To buy Newcastle right now and pay off the debt would cost about what 400 million?

Then to win the league you'd need what, a billion pounds?

To buy a club like Bournemouth or Watford or Brighton would cost around 100 million plus the billions on players, so you've saved yourself 300 million quid and now have a global brand to build as the champions.

If Sunderland and Newcastle were countries Newcastle's GDP would be massive compared to us.

Sunderland as a city is actually dying, it's population is getting smaller in a country which is overpopulated.

Don't forget to build the new ground with your £300m saved. You'd probably want a bigger capacity than 25K though if you are the champions so that conservative £100m price point will more than likely rise.

I think the point stands tbh all things being equal except crowd size a lot of people would still rather have a smaller club outside of the region and success would cost Newcastle just the same as any "smaller" club

The last decade has hugely hit Newcastle's reputation outside the NE though, I don't live in the NE any more but have friends who have a fondness for Newcastle due to their success in the 90s so my age of 20-30s it was sort of prime time for young kids to see Ginola et al doing well.

There is still some interest based on that stage of Newcastle success abroad but it will have massively decreased, so the current talk of top 6 clubs getting more TV money won't be helping Newcastle at all and it would take a fair bit of recent success to get the global following it once had.

Not really tbf as I’d argue that you’d have to pay at least £150m to buy Bournemouth anyway.

Agree to disagree though as most football fans would agree that Newcastle have a higher ceiling than Bournemouth before you started bringing other factors in.

So she’s trying to buy Liverpool after all. A billion quid is a bit much mind.

If someone can buy Newcastle for £300 million or thereabouts - and pump in a couple of hundred million in new signings over the next 2 or 3 years - they could see NUFC worth a billion quid by 2020 the way the PL is expanding.

Not much risk involved when you think about it - the value will surely go up as TV revenues rise.

Apparently Staveley and her associates were given a tour of the stadium before hand. It seems a fairly advanced stage of due dilligence. Why else would she be there?

Short missed the boat last year on selling us. The loss of premier league status massively devalued our appeal. He must rue the lost opportunity because the debt burden alone would dissuade potential investors let alone our league position.

In the end money ruined the game. Even if Newcastle are bought they sell a part of their sole in return.
