Nucasol Posted yesterday at 07:17 Share Posted yesterday at 07:17 Six points taken off Wolves? Pretty sure they were a solid Top 10 in points gained after they jettisoned Gary O’Neil. Again, the Mackems have been away from the top flight too long that they don’t understand anything going on other than our games which they obsessively slavver on about.

Keegans Export Posted yesterday at 07:31 Share Posted yesterday at 07:31 54 minutes ago, Optimistic Nut said: I thought they'd come up in a great PSR position but according to grumpy old man, they're already £61m down for the last 2 years so that doesn't give them a lot of wiggle room? The issue is that their income over the 3-year cycle (including this coming season) is miles behind everyone else. Burnley will still have their 23/24 PL income included in their calculation and the closest would be Leeds because they were also outside of the PL in 23/24 and 24/25 but their income is considerably higher than Sunderland's regardless. Although they aren't losing a huge amount compared to a lot of clubs, they also aren't allowed to lose as much because of those two seasons in the EFL. They've also got the same issue as us - namely that they can't afford to sell anyone worth any reasonable amount without also having to replace them. They could sell Bellingham for a decent wedge but then you're already one starting CM down before you've kicked a ball. Ultimately it'll depend on what the ambition of the owner is. They could go for it, take the risk and spend £100-150m or he could just bank the extra £100m+ income from a season in the PL, plus the parachute payments and aim to be a yo-yo club.

Stifler Posted yesterday at 07:43 Share Posted yesterday at 07:43 In the 23/24 season their total revenue was £35m, they also made £9m of losses that year. To put that into perspective, our Adidas deal is believed to be around £35m-£40m per season. Our Sela deal is believed to be around £25m per season. None of this is taking into account other commercial deals we’ll have, plus ticket sales, merchandise sales, or membership sales. We then also have to add in TV money. Commercially they are nowhere near us, and nowhere near other Premier League teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted yesterday at 07:55 Share Posted yesterday at 07:55 Southampton Ipswich and Leicester spent over £100 million each last year, i can't see Sunderland spending similar, plus they need to keep some cash back to decorate the away end when we visit.

Just depends what day we play UCL whether it's a Saturday or Sunday midday kick off. It will be a Saturday midday KO. They won’t want either set of fans having the weekend on the piss before the match. Our derbies are usually tied to the North London derby as well, but I believe the Met Police are a bit more relaxed about that one as it’s been on a Sunday plenty of times before. We’ll be the lunch time KO on a Saturday, and they’ll be on Super Sunday. Edited yesterday at 08:00 by Stifler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyn davies Posted yesterday at 08:17 Share Posted yesterday at 08:17 Mackems still in the poo, not enough dough due to previous seasons , have had quick promotions which won't help the finances, will need to flag to get some orders hands to steady the ship, but if they do that and they survive they'll still have same issues the following season.

Coffee_Johnny Posted yesterday at 08:36 Share Posted yesterday at 08:36 It is undoubtedly going to be a tough task for them. I imagine most fans are well aware of that. They will need more experience in the squad for sure. Clueless as to whether they can afford to do this. I suspect that if they don’t it will prove to be a poison chalice promotion; though maybe one season in the big show may help the finances for future pushes.

Benwell Lad Posted yesterday at 08:45 Share Posted yesterday at 08:45 Can I ask those on here who rate Bellingham and think they'll get good money for him what they have seen to indicate that ? The times I've seen him he's never stood out or dominated a game in that league, so what makes anyone think he can do it at a much higher level ? Birmingham virtually gave him away and no PL or even top Championship club was interested. If I change my surname to Messi will I be worth a lot of money ?

I'll be honest I've only ever seen him play once, against us, and he was worse than shite. I'm sure a fair few mackems were getting on his back at parts during last season as well.

From what I have seen of him there's nothing to suggest he's near the level of Lewis Miley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deejeck Posted yesterday at 09:13 Share Posted yesterday at 09:13 The other day there was some discussion about him being worth £80m in the Premier League, whilst others in the same discussion were saying that they wouldn't be too bothered if he left. Both cannot be correct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geogaddi Posted yesterday at 09:23 Share Posted yesterday at 09:23 They were slating Bellingham at points last season and even this season. No wonder the lad is desperate to get away and hawing himself about all over Germany just hours after getting promoted . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
