ewerk 30242 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 1 hour ago, Howay said: Aye, he paid somewhere between £70m-£90m for them iirc, has probably plunged another hundred million or so into them and they still owe nearly £70m to a bank which has a high interest rate as it was initially a short term loan I think. At this point short of someone buying SAFC off him (which as Kitman said isn’t happening) his only hope of getting anything back is them going into administration, I’ve heard it probably isn’t even his decision at this point and it’s depending on the external bank. Of course he could use his personal fortune, pay off the external debt and save them from any threat of administration but it’s highly unlikely he would do that. Honestly why should he as tbh he was sold down the river by Niall Quinn who spouted bollocks about the clubs potential, it’s fan base and draw etc, they’ve cost the bloke a fortune and I’m sure have given him a right headache for years. Short has actually loaned them £160m and probably more since their last accounts. No wonder he’s fucking sick of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2204 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 It’s funny as fuck that Short gets shot with shit on rtg about money (by the same people who probably haven’t paid full price for a ticket in years if ever). My impression is that Short has actually been pretty generous in terms of investment, it’s just that their board and management have been utterly incompetent from top to bottom, the players have taken the piss and the fans have deserted them in droves since they dropped out of the PL.

ewerk 30242 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Short has put his money where his mouth is but has appointed all the wrong people and left it far too late to make changes when it was obvious they were needed. Blame should be assigned to the very top and that’s him. If he’d any sense he’d have cut his losses years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what he thinks of Niall Quinn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30242 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) He pretty much wrote off (i.e. capitalised) £100m of the loan so that’s gone. Basically he’s put 1/4 of his wealth into the club. And got nothing but a FTM badge to show for it. Edited April 8, 2018 by ewerk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonatine 11306 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Could be wrong, but wasn't Niall Quinn paying himself a massive wedge when he was Chairman, one of the highest paid in the league at the time? He certainly did all right out of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems he stopped the majority of free tickets this season.A dagger through the heart of the best fans in the country who have benefited since the sos flat pack was built. On 04/04/2018 at 13:55, Alex said: Been pointed out before but they're the ones with the new(-ish) flatpack stadium (with the name stolen from elsewhere) and they even needed a fucking poll to decide on their official nickname such is their lack of identity. They're only really known for being near Newcastle which they don't exactly help themselves with since they can only identify in relation to us anyway. Not sure I believe many of them who say they'd rather have the 6 in a row than be two divisions above (which we all but are now) but the fact they're even prepared to say it defines how small time they are. They can get to fuck tbh. Know a couple of decent lads who support them but the club itself and the support of the paedo shows how 'classy' they really are (one bloke who didn't even go to the game who punched a horse defines us though ). Enjoy Burton (again) and Accrington tbh That is an excellent post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6986 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Transfermarkt is a great resource! Just a handful of the players signed under Short since he bought the club: Sessegnon £7mil Giaccherini £7.5mil Whickham £9mil Djilibodji £9.5mil Altidore £10mil Alvarez £10.5mil Borini £10.7mil Lens £11.4mil Khazri £11.8mil Bent £11.8mil Johnson £12.mil Turner £13.6mil Fletcher £15.2mil Gyan £16mil Ndong £20mil Not to mention the tens of millions spent on listening to the fans demanding the sacking of: Bruce O'Neill DiCanio Poyet Advocat Moyes Grayson And the fans have the temerity to call him tight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you chalk off home-grown players (good fortune rather than considered recruitment) I'm guessing their profit must be tiny or non-existent. It's not the be all and end all, obviously, but for a club to be plummeting don the leagues it's a good indicator as to where it all went wrong. I've tried googling it, but the only place it seems to be is the sunderland echo site, and am I shite registering to look at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
