Alan PardewEllis Short will have lost Hundreds of millions during his tenure – enough to fill a ship full of war chests. The last published accounts showed a debt of £130m, of which around £60m was to him. This last year has been one of austerity, so a fair amount of the debt will have been reduced. Pickford went for £30m, but only £1.5m was made available for player purchase – most of which went on James Vaughan, before he was flogged to Wigan for the same amount. There will be little difficulty attracting the cream of that standard to Sunderland, because its the only chance some of these players will have to play in front of 20,000+ crowds on a regular basis – same with whoever comes to manage.I doubt the likes of Scunthorpe, Southend, Walsall, Oldham, Gillingham, Charlton, Plymouth are going to turn down the opportunity to have that end behind the goal full instead of the handful of supporters they generally accommodate – 3rd tier depends on attendances, and the difference between 400 paying £25 and 4000 paying £25 means a great deal to the home side’s finances.
Enjoy the championship next season – with or without Cook.
Mutty – you’re getting as bit arrogant with comments like this & “they’ll never have seen away support like it”
As someone else has pointed out – yes they will. All of them will have. take Fleetwood – you’ll get an allocation of 1800 same as everybody else. No doubt your club will sell it out but so have plenty of clubs including little ol’ Latics. Twice. Every club will have seen their away ends sold out. Its not a new phenomenon exclusive to when the Mackems are in town
If you want more tickets you won’t get em – simple as really. All the other stands will have home ticket holders in them including season ticket holders & the home clubs won’t move them to accomodate the Sunderland Massive as their own supporters will kick off & in many cases they won’t have the segragation to be able to do it anyway. Just like Latics could have sold an end & side stand everytime United visited & still fitted the Wigan regulars in the other 2 stand (or thereabouts) but they didn’tdelusions of grandeur me thinks. Sunderland may get decent crowds but that doesn’t stop you from getting relegated, so it means little in the grand scheme of things.
Think most tics would be amazed if Cook left for Sunderland.
Sky Spots are reporting it differently now.
