Simon Jordan has been talking about Sunderland and Newcastle United all week…
Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan has given a harsh appraisal of the gap between Sunderland and Newcastle United ahead of a possible Wear-Tyne derby next season.
Jordan spoke with talkSPORT on the possibility of the heated North East derby returning to English football if Sunderland wins promotion from the Championship play-offs and joins Newcastle United in the Premier League.
“When they play Newcastle United, there will be a gulf in difference between the two clubs, irrespective of how much money they want to spend in the transfer window this summer,” Jordan said. “And it will have to be confined because they will be restricted by the governance of the PSR [Profit and Sustainability Rules] that takes them from the Championship losses into the Premier League, so they won’t have that wide a margin to spend.”
