Mackems on the Market

[Caer Newydd]

According to this newspaper report,
Sunderland can readily be bought,
For potential buyers to entice,
At first glance, a fire-sale price,
But not quite a total giveaway,
Fifty million, the initial outlay,
You'll get change from what City paid for Laporte,
And of course, that raucous Mackem support,
But will the current manager stay?
You'll definitely know come May,
The cohort of fans he may inspire,
But the team's performances are still dire,
And to offset any liquid assets,
Are the club's significant debts,
So anyone thinking about this deal,
Should realise it's not a steal.

Imagine PCP go in for them

Craig Whyte anyone?

I hope the bastards slide into the abyss.

[skalpel]

I think it'd be a shame to see them tank tbh. I hope they make a comeback.

Watch the cunts get bought out by oil-rich Saudis and become the next City...

£50m

In before someone points out "that's offering way too much money for Sunderland"

[bodacious benny]

IF they stayed up (unlikely) then that's not a bad price if they got an owner who could/would pump another £50-60m into the playing squad.

So he literally (puts sunglasses on) is throwing money away

Short is prepared to give it away for free to anyone who can cope with the debt.

[Caer Newydd]

Yep! hold that front page,
In an attempt to disengage,
And quickly bale,
It's a giveaway sale,
So says Ellis Short,
He's happy to report,
You can have it for free,
As long as you agree,
To take on that which is owed,
A multi-million pound payload,
And the man based in Dallas,
Will pass you the poisoned chalice.
