I have no business experience so excuse me if this is a very ignorant question but isn't this a relatively easy Club to save and then make money from if you have the money to start with?

I'd imagine when a London club starts failing, a Palace for example, it's a hard sell because there are plenty of other clubs in the area. Maybe even smaller ones but have no debt so you could always buy them and turn them into a force if that's your thing.

Sunderland is 1 of only 2 clubs in that area of the country and if Sunderland liquidated, the fans wouldn't just start supporting Newcastle so you literally can't lose your fan-base.

Yes you'd need to sign up to 150m of debt which I imagine takes a very brave person but if you can buy them a basic League 1 squad and stabalise them and get them back to the Championship in 2 seasons, surely you'd start slowly chipping away the debt.

Then once that happens you can really start to use marketing and PR to keep your name in the lime-light. People were probably more interested in Newcastle's Championship run last and Sunderland's one this year than they are for Huddersfield's Prem push as example.

Rent out the big stadium for concerts, sports-days etc, get a positive vibe surrounding the Stadium Of Light again even when football isn't on.

Then if you can mount a Prem push you can either sell for huge profit or stay along for the ride.

I've probably made that far too simplistic though I'd wager.
