I agree about that at the price he went for and what we did with it, but it wasn't wrong in principal. Just in manner.
Anyway what does JM want, if he's decided he wants bigger money and a payment there will be no keeping him.

If it was obvious to me after relegation that JM was going to be big for us in L1 then it would have been to plenty of people at the club. SD said JM wasn't well known when he took over the club and so he didn't feel it urgent to address his contract. In other words just leave the kid on £700 a week. If he had dealt with it the lad might have signed new deal before a ball had been kicked, still be here, possibly in the championship etc etc.
 
@SunderlandAFC These are the facts. Signings will happen soon with investment in the team where sensible. Club investment will happen - we have plans & options and I will explain how & why in due course (month). Speculation though is just that⚪️


I am working on things for long term benefit of the club regarding investment. When I announce them that is the time to judge my actions rather than by a Sun Newspaper article - which of course originally said it was all going to be done 10 days ago.

You're 100% right. I lost my man at the far post in the Burton game that allowed them to go 2-1 up. For that I apologise

I think you're getting mixed up with Alan Oliver who used to write for the Chronicle. This is Alan Nixon who has never wrote for a mag paper to my knowledge.

No mate, definitely him. He used to write for The Sunday Sun, which was extremely biased towards the Mags, especially when that Neil Farrington was head sports writer there. Another adopted Mag with his tongue up their hoop.

Well done you, it wasn't obvious to me how prolific Maja was going to be (although I did hope). Large parts of his game were underdeveloped and if he hadnt proved to be such a good finisher he would have been an expensive kid.
Still you were right in hindsight.

Haway man he was being looked at by clubs when we were in the PL. He showed enough in the championship, I'm no expert but surely he was worth a proper deal and not ignored and left on £700 a week. SD has admitted it was an oversight

I agree he showed promise. Premier league clubs can take a punt though, they're interested in everything.
We were in a very different situation trying to get wage bills down and to overpay a kid that didn't come through big style would have bucked that.
But again you were right, I'm not arguing. I think we would have gone up with Maja seeing his goals and I wish we still had him
 
Assuming the report is correct (which of course it may not be, but it is all we have to go on) the investment that could get us out of this league and get us looking forward to potentially getting back into the prem quicker is not going to come to our club because the owner wants more money for himself. How is thing going to be spun as a good thing?
