How much??

[oldman]

From BBC website: Championship strugglers Sunderland have been put up for sale for £50m. The north-east side are in danger of suffering back-to-back relegations. (Mirror)

So, Slumberland up for sale for £50m - not sure if they own their ground or not - if so, how much does that make us worth?

The parachute payments the Allams are waiting for would be the same for Sunderland as ours so nilling this factor I'd say we are worth barely £10M.

 

[originallambrettaman]

To be fair, £50m for Sunderland is a bargain.

Massive debts at SAFC

Massive stadium with it though.

£159million, 3rd highest in England behind only Man Utd and Liverpool and 13th highest in Europe.

I was assuming there’d be some sort of debt write off involved, the club isn’t worth £159m, never mind another £50m on top.

Remember reading an article in which it said summat like " 53 players bought in last X years, only 3 sold at a profit"

Makes Hull City look well run in comparison.

Yet they will probably be sold long before we are.

Bigger club, bigger ground, bigger fanbase, more tradition, one club city, bigger debt, I know which one I would choose if I were thinking of buying a football club.

So, if you won the £141million on Euromillions tonight you would buy Sunderland not City? I don't believe you.

A better product costs more. It doesn't mean cheaper, less quality ones are harder to sell. Easy enough to sell any old **** if the price is right. Football clubs are no different to any other market. If no one wants to buy it, the price is too high.

Who do you think would be more attractive to a potential buyer, us or Sunderland?

Put a decent side together at Sunderland and you'll have 40,000 there every week. You cannot say that about us, or many other clubs outside the PL for that matter.

If you let your heart rule your head it would be City obviously. But businesswise it would have to be Sunderland simply because they are a bigger club and they own their own stadium.

True. Despite how low they are at the moment there were over 27,000 there on Saturday. Last time we had a crowd of over 27,000 for a league game was January 1967.

I would go for City. The kids don't deserve to inherit millions so may as well get rid of it enjoying myself. We would have a unique stand where you were ejected for sitting down during the game.

A bit like a terrace ?
