A comment from the Guardian article ...

 

"All clubs should be made to live within their means whatever that is and a maximum wage should be brought back in which is something like four times what the average wage is for that area. "

 

With the response... "Not sure Sunderland would get many footballers willing to play for four times current Jobseekers Allowance"    :mackems: :mackems:

They were quite happy to beat us twice a season and only just survive, therefore sympathy is in short supply. Until they shake off this fixation of Newcastle they'll never be anything.

:thup: They're an absolutely lifting footballing institution. Put aside the racism, defending of a nonce, the club and it's fans would happily take 17th place in the PL season after season after season as long as they "beat the mags". Some of their greatest memories have been wins against us, a Mike Ashley run NUFC usually under one of our worst ever managers in Alan Pardew. :lol: They're pathetic and I hope they go down again and go bust. Wankers.

"You could have Alex Ferguson or Arsene Wenger but without money they'd be useless without money."

 

You could have Rafa Beneathus and no money...  :smug: O0

 

TBF Rafa took us up AND made £30 million

:lol: That BBC Newcastle host's hilarious, like. Listened a few times this season and post-match nearly every week he tries to ask Gary Bennett for positives to take away, to which Bennett nearly always says there aren't any. The host keeps trying to be positive and you can hear Bennett get increasingly frustrated as he's continually pushed to be upbeat despite having just watched a shower of shit.

is this checkatrade trophy regionalised in the group stages?

 

surely we will play these fuckers then?

  Would they sell out the ground to see their first team play our under-23s?

 

Imagine if our Under 23's beat them. :lol:

The issue of Sunderland's finances is inextricably linked with the ownership of Ellis Short.

 

Not even relegation to League One with the 'luxury' of a £35m parachute payment from the Premier League will put them in a favourable position.

 

The debt remains huge, even if player sales and the reduction in wage bill to £35m have trimmed down the last reported figures of £137.3m from April 2017.

 

To put it into perspective, Uefa's annual report lists Sunderland as having the 13th highest net debt in Europe, more than that of Paris St-Germain, Porto and rivals Newcastle.

 

Former Manchester City and Everton midfielder Jack Rodwell remains under contract and, although his salary also recedes, it still totals upwards of £40,000 per week. By contrast, the average salary of a League One player is between £1,700 and £2,500.

 

Any transfer fees or other sources of income such as parachute payments, central funding or television revenues - the majority of which are reduced in the third tier - will go straight towards servicing debt.

 

This is interesting in the context that in league one their debt to revenue must put them way above any other team in world football surely?

 

If what I say is true they are a high risk investment to anyone bank rolling them and as I understand it Short only has some bank rolling but the rest is a third party is it not? Alarm bells must be ringing now as their outgoings will drawf their incomings as far a liquidity is concerned.

 

Imagine having to take a massive point deduction in league one  :lol:

"I want all the stewards to lose their jobs too, full of mags" fucking hell :lol:

 

madness, these fuckers are insane

 

That reminds me of that post someone made ages ago about posts on RTG where they accuse everyone of being mags and then eventually themselves before realising they'd been shafted again. It was before Pardew and McClaren ruined everything so it doesn't apply now, but it was class.

If they’ve got anything about them they’ll be begging the FA/rozzers to make it not happen.
