Sunderland bought out

Sunderland bought out

Seen that. £40M apparently, I don't know if the new owners have some debt as well, of if that's all been wiped

[tomski]

Wigan been bought out confirmed

[gonzo]

Fuck me im embroiled with some goon on twatter now

[Guest]

if he's still paying the wages he is, as the club isn't making any money, and he was hanging around because he wants a piece of the PL pie if we get back there, and (something like) a training ground named after him, and apparently that was all part of the terms of sale, which is why it took ages and took us to the brink

 

something like that, pages and pages about it on here somewhere

Is he bollocks paying the wages. That is just conspiracy bullshit. He sold up because he didn’t want to pay the wages anymore.

Sunderland's new owner doesn't have enough money to pay the £40 million needed to buy the club, Ellis Short will be taking this money from future parachute payments if it  can't be raised

Given this, I would not be proclaiming the start of a great new era if i was a Sunderland supporter

Sounds quite Blu-Marbley to me, that.

Sunderland have a lot of players still under contract on major wages.

It’s not bollocks.

 

He’s still heavily involved financially.

Michael Gray on talksport said last week the wage bill will be 40 million in league 1 if they fail to move players on who are on premiership wages.

I’d be hugely surprised with what I know about ED’s situation. I’d be amazed in fact. I can believe he’s loaned Ken some money last season to cover wages that was paid back. But I don’t think he would be paying the wages on any sort of ongoing basis. I’m sure you’ve heard otherwise but we will never know for sure.

 

I just know he stopped contributing to the club at all and had no intention of doing so irrespective of the position that left it in. Be weird if he was going back on that when his name is no longer above the door.

They will struggle to shift Jack Rodwell on his supposedly 80k a week wages

Iniesta and Madine

He payed the players wages numerous times last season.

 

As I say he’s still massively involved.

I bet it’s still a goldmine compared to what we had left

Aye Ken has said a couple of times that ED has helped out financially a few times and that he's still offering advise if Ken needs it.

Think he said he’s offered advice and has helped out by not calling in his debt when he could have....different to him still paying the bills. But you know....end of the day very few people will truly know where the money comes from. Lot of rumours.

Rumour he stopped that after Xmas.

Thanks to Cardiff city

Jesus some fucker needs shooting for sanctioning that

[Dr Faustus]

Rodwell for one... Regrets leaving the bin dippers now

[birch-chorley]

Michael Gray on talksport said last week the wage bill will be 40 million in league 1 if they fail to move players on who are on premiership wages.

I’d imagine they will turn over about £60m next season

 

They are still getting full parachute payments for a start

 

Even if they don’t manage to shift anyone on the £20m left over is head and shoulders above everyone else

 

Absolute bankers Sunderland unless they hire Owen Coyle

[Guest]

Maybe he did. Only a tiny number of people would know that for fact though. It certainly wouldn’t fit with ED refusing to pay for anything prior to selling. And he did refuse. As I say if you’re certain you’re certain.

[TrickyTrotter]

Geordies wage bill for 16/17 Championship season £112m!   Operating loss £90.9m.
