Understand that soon-to-be ex-Sunderland Chief Business Officer, David Bruce, is one of the names being considered for the Chief Executive Officer role at Sheffield Wednesday if Arise complete their takeover.
Would be excellent.

@JimOhSoSpurs Absolute headloss. You are just shite and badly ran. I’ve seen it first hand, many times. You think the world is against you and you don’t deserve it but I’m telling you now you haven’t been good enough.
English
Whatever that chinese bloke ate to start the covid pandemic off would be more appetising than this
Eddie Howe with questions to answer, no wonder Tonali & Bruno want away

Hot Dog at St James' Park for £6.80... 👀

@ProRecoil @RokerReport But you’ve got Reece James who’s only started 65% of games. Dan Ballard has started more games and played more minutes than Reece James 😂😂
English
@RokerReport Very unfortunately he wasn’t in the vote, I think he would’ve been had he not been injured at times
English
Two mackems in there... nice. I'd make an argument for Ballard being in there over Guehi too!
ProRecoil@ProRecoil
The correct vote if you’ve actually watched more than just your own team this season🙌🏼
English
@RokerReport Reece James has only started 65% of Chelsea’s games. Madness he’s in there.
English
@McqueGeno @DavidHindmarsh7 @geordieshaun It’ll generate a profit to the men’s team accounts, which is used to run the club. We’re already in profit so PSR isn’t affected and SCR doesn’t take it into account.
It’s nothing like the situation you’ve had to sell your ground to avoid a PSR breach, points deduction and fine
English
@billyblyth @DavidHindmarsh7 @geordieshaun The sale of the women’s team is to be distributed into the men team
English
The absolute state of the replies & quotes to this.
Never let them tell us that we aren’t their whole lives😂

🚨 Breaking: Sunderland Women’s team have been taken over by an American multi-club ownership group. 🇺🇸 #SAFC have sold a majority share of their women’s team to “Bay Collective” — subject to WSL approval. ⚽️ Bay Collective already own Bay FC in the NWSL and their CEO, Kay Cossington, is the former technical director at The FA. 👍🏽 Sunderland will retain a minority interest in the club, which will keep its name. 💴 The new owners are promising investment in the squad, staff, infrastructure and Academy at the club.
English
@billyblyth @McqueGeno @DavidHindmarsh7 Great points mate, nice to have good crack with you.
Good luck 🤝
English
@geordieshaun @DavidHindmarsh7 Someone will be daft enough to. I don’t think he ever wanted to be at newcastle so you might as well take the coin.
English
@billyblyth @DavidHindmarsh7 100% correct. They aren’t used to not getting what they want.
Isak should have gone weeks before he did.
Tonali has 3 years left on his contract, if someone wants him it will cost around £90m. Who will pay that?
English
@geordieshaun @McqueGeno @DavidHindmarsh7 Just the luck of the draw. Your takeover happened 10 years too late. All we can do is maximise what we have. even selling the women’s team allows us just to concentrate on the men’s team. It’s maybe a smart move. We’re very well ran now, I think we can be top ten regulars, I hope
English
@billyblyth @McqueGeno @DavidHindmarsh7 It’s frustrating, Man City and Chelsea were taken over and spent freely with huge success. All of a sudden the Saudis invest and new rules are made to prevent them spending. SAFC have had a magnificent season, yet are a million miles away on revenue to sustain a top 4 challenge.
English
@geordieshaun @DavidHindmarsh7 Just like players at Liverpool will always go to Real. I’ll be honest I think Stavley created a financial mess, given you couldn’t sign anyone for a few seasons and sell made a record loss despite revenue. I think Howe rightly or wrongly has too much power as well.
English
@billyblyth @DavidHindmarsh7 Isak was our downfall. The money invested afterwards made it even worse.
Amanda Stavley was great, but issues over her personal finances, the owners weren’t happy, Darren Eales was diagnosed with blood cancer, his replacement Mitchell didn’t fit in, it’s not been ideal tbh, no.
English
@geordieshaun @McqueGeno @DavidHindmarsh7 And of course I’d love a cup and a crack at Europe, be daft not to, however I’d never want a regime like the Saudis to own my club. I think vast majority of SAFC are quite happy with how we’re doing.
English
@billyblyth @McqueGeno @DavidHindmarsh7 I couldn’t be honest and disagree with that.
Love for your football club can be blinded.
As much as you say you wouldn’t accept the Saudis at Sunderland, if they had invested in you, you would back them.
English
@geordieshaun @McqueGeno @DavidHindmarsh7 I would mate. But I think the difference is we wouldn’t have protested for it to happen. I’m not saying you did yourself, but vast majority did and it’s not quite turned out as you probably hoped. You can’t help who buys you. I think they picked the only fans that would comply
English
@geordieshaun @DavidHindmarsh7 Poor return on the amount spent tho. Add in the other parts of being poorly ran. Numerous DOFs gone and no infrastructure projects even planned nevermind spades in the ground. I think last summer business will really hurt going forward.
English
@billyblyth @DavidHindmarsh7 We’re giving it a go, post takeover we’ve won a trophy, qualified twice for the CL, recorded record revenue at £335m, (SAFC revenue was £40m and shows the huge gap you have to fill one way or another) plenty clubs would like to have done what we have in the past few seasons.
English
@geordieshaun @McqueGeno @DavidHindmarsh7 Yeah but you’d be happy to be amongst the cartel as it’s referred to.
English
@billyblyth @McqueGeno @DavidHindmarsh7 I am well aware of PSR, it was designed to stop teams competing with those at the top table. It’s anti-competitive and doesn’t happen in any other industry.
English
@geordieshaun @DavidHindmarsh7 Probably never like. Like you say it’s impossible. I can’t see yourselves either despite your new chairman saying you’ll be number 1 in the world in 3 years. No new ground, no new academy/training ground, Eddie’s cousin making the signings and Jack Ross running the show.
English
@billyblyth @DavidHindmarsh7 Enjoy it, you’ve got it all to come if you want to better yourself as a club. It’s impossible to compete with teams creating £700m in revenue.
SAFC last recorded revenue is £40m. How will you compete ?
English
@McqueGeno @DavidHindmarsh7 @geordieshaun You really don’t understand PSR. We’re going to be profitable under PSR so the sale isn’t needed for those purposes, and SCR doesn’t take into account the sale of the asset so there’s no benefit to it, apart from investment into the women’s team.
English
@DavidHindmarsh7 @geordieshaun @billyblyth But infact it’s not a player though is it? You can deny it all you want but the reality is Sunderland have used a loophole that can generate quick and easy cash injections into the club same as what the rest of them do that use the loopholes
Just accept it
English
@geordieshaun @DavidHindmarsh7 10 year head start and a billion spent, you still can’t beat us and are below us in the table 😂😂
English
@billyblyth @DavidHindmarsh7 But we didn’t so I guess it’s a good move. Any club with ambition would understand.
I get why you don’t.
English
@DavidHindmarsh7 @billyblyth So you’re cooking the books whilst in denial, and I am the fool.
Thick as mince.
