Richest and best supported club to have ****ed up sufficiently often to end up in the also ran division.

Since 2008 we've appeared in the Forbes top 20 list of richest clubs on 6 occasions (including 2016) - highest placing 16th, lowest 20th (in those seasons we made the list).
During this period sunderland didn't make this list once
This is based on Forbes estimate of past transactions, market value, debt, and stadium.
if we use Deloitte then the figures are comparable - again I've stuck to the top 20, although Deloitte's ranking do go lower
Since 2008 we've appeared in the Deloitte top 20 list of richest clubs on 3 occasions (although figures only go to 2015) - if we took the top 25 then this increases to 6 times i.e. all bar one season.
Highest sunderland position is 25th (in 2014/15 season when we were placed 17th) - respective revenues (generated from football operations) were £169.3m and £132.9m
Guess if anyone is quibbling with these figures, they'll need to take it up with Forbes or DeloitteYou must log in or register to see images

I have to decide now whether I think this man has no idea of the situation, or whether the supporters of Newcastle United have no idea of the situation
He is one hundred times more responsible for Newcastle's present success than is RAFA
One thing I did discover on my travels is that Sports Direct with its low P/E ratio compared to its competitors, together with a possible spin off from any success N.U.F.C may have is an excellent opportunity to make a quid

Running a football club sounds pretty simple
