    Any sale will be for a debt free club, as the debt to Allamhouse will be settled as part of any agreement to sell the club. Your question makes no sense.

    Doing an Allam...

    Sunderland: Club Statement

    Recently, we informed supporters that discussions were taking place with parties who had expressed an interest in acquiring ownership of Sunderland AFC.

    Subsequently, more detailed talks were held over the last week with one of these groups.

    Ellis Short and the board were committed to ascertain if this group was better placed to take the club forward in the right way and to improve it, both on and off the pitch.

    A defined timeframe was placed on discussions to ensure that the club could move forward quickly and decisively with its plans for the new season should they not come to fruition.

    We have concluded these talks and have determined that this proposed sale would not be in the best interests of Sunderland AFC.

    Ellis Short will continue his commitment to the club, both financially and personally, moving forward.

    We would like to thank our supporters for their patience during what we know has been a period of uncertainty and frustration for them.

    Preston North End have granted us permission to speak with Simon Grayson regarding the manager’s position.

    Wasn't a loan taken out by the club from an Australian bank, which I assume was to reduce the debt to Allamhouse?

    It was, but we don't know the current situation with that loan and probably won't until the club accounts come out in October.

    Apparently Short wanted £90million for Sunderland. A club with its own stadium which is the 7th biggest in the country, its own training facilities, a far larger supporter base than ours. Which poses the question, if someone has £90million and wants to buy a championship club why would they buy ours rather than Sunderland?

    Ours isn't for sale as a Championship club, the Allams were only ever going to sell a Premier League club.

    Sunderland with their ground and support in many ways would still be a more attractive purchase, even in the Championship, for £90 million than ourselves in the PL.

    Was talking to a Leeds fan on Sunday and he was more optimistic about our future than I am at the moment.
