Well what a week that was for north east football !

Both our clubs played their full part in exciting matches with the drama of unlikely two goal deficits being overturned late in the game and last gasp winners sending fans into raptures.

Both teams should be commended for the excitement they have provided  :lol:

Sounds like Inter Milan have won the Alvarez case, Sunderland will have to pay them €10.5m

 

:mackems:

 

Translated from Gazzetta Dello Sport:

 

Alvarez, Inter won the Tas: Sunderland pays 10.5 million

They filter the first rumors on the dispute between the clubs founded to payment by Argentina: is coming soon the judgment of the Court of Lausanne which will be conducive to the Nerazzurri

 

SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 - MILAN

By now it is also resigning the British press. Inter will receive from Sunderland 10.5 million euro for the Argentine Ricky Alvarez. In fact, even the Daily Mail has confirmed that the decision by the Lausanne Tas will be in favor of the Nerazzurri.

THE STORY - The story dates back to 2015, when the English club refused to pay the clause eight million pounds (just 10.5 million euro) which is appropriate for the Black Cats salvation, which that season occurred, and even he accused Inter of them loaned a player who had need for knee surgery, which the Corso Vittorio Emanuele company has always vehemently denied. The issue has been dragged up to FIFA, which had given reason to the Nerazzurri; Both clubs, however, have agreed to submit further appeal to the Swiss court; the rumors give Tas oriented to confirm the decision of FIFA, which would thus become enforceable. A short sentence that will definitely reason (and several pennies) to Inter.

 

Thats an expensive loan deal, like... or does that mean that he will become their player?! :lol:

Seen this doing the rounds on facebook. They seem pretty proud of themselves. Wonder how many of those were free tickets?

 

But remember, it's us that goes on about attendances...

They've sold around 32k for tomorrow's match and the remaining tickets which will take the crowd over the 43k mark have been handed out for free to the University, local schools, colleges and businesses. Basically they've handed out even more freebies than they did for the Crystal Palace match to avoid what would have been a sub 35k crowd. I know this to be a fact although it's hardly difficult to work out that 5,000 more people wouldn't buy tickets for this fixture after what happened last Saturday when they threw away a 2 goal lead to a very poor side.

 

Basically tomorrow's crowd will be 32,000ish plus how many free tickets they have dished out.

43'000 sounds s****. Even if their ground is slightly smaller.

 

TBF 43,000 is a great number considering the crap they'll be subjected to come match day. Problem is people compare them to us, and they will never win that battle unless the are suddenly challenging for champions league and we are fighting to stay in the Championship. Compared to other clubs in the PL it's very favourable.

Was just gonna say, 'Sold' 43,000 tickets will be a bit far fetched with their usual freebie distribution. :lol:

 

Thats why they use 'FTM so much...'Free Ticket Mackems'

Do you seriously believe 5,000 more of them have "paid" to watch tomorrow's match compared to last week's game when they lost a 2 goal lead to Crystal Palace?

 

They've dished out even more free tickets to avoid having swaithes of empty seats which they can get away with in a league where tv income is everything. However it's not sustainable if they were relegated and we're reliant on gate receipts to pay the bills.

 

If they go down they're screwed.
