Could be worse...

Recommended Posts

Interesting/terrifying article on the story of Jack Rodwell and Sunderland’s mismanageme of wages.

70k a week

No relegation clause

Total appearances 67

Wins 1

Cost per appearance 299,000

When you factor in all the other big money earners, 100m debt and an impending trip to league one... puts the Pritchard Sale in perspective.

I thought only our board were so inept that we made signings like that :)

Also from that article, they signed 45 players of which they only made a profit on 3!

I just saw that, crazy, but you can imagine the complaints from their supporters if they hadn’t make ‘ambitious’ signings. Damned if you do...
