Jack Clarke

[Roker Mackem]

We end up with £15 million once spurs get there 25%

Nope. £11M. Add ons may not come to fruition at all

Jack Clarke I am sure is ambitious and can see that with him Sunderland have a better shot at promotion. Should the hierarchy back the manager by keeping his best players and supplementing with a couple of necessary additions then Jack Clarke might think that staying with the devil you know is the way to go. Since his arrival where initially he wasn't an automatic choice in league 1 he has progressed to be arguably the no 1 player in the Championship. He has been allowed to blossom with Sunderland where he has found his niche and I don't think it's just a coincidence that players have signed contracts hoping to follow his example where they will be given licence to express themselves playing regular Championship football this season. Some players with similar ambitions have improved their finances by moving from Sunderland but their game time hasn't increased. Jack Clarke will play in the Premier league as a first choice on a regular basis if he is good enough and I just hope he thinks Sunderland is his best chance.

Bit late

This is us in trouble

Don’t beat about the bush

Bordering on disaster this cos we can’t replace him

Be happy with 16th in the championship and thank our zero ambition owners for this disgrace

Sunderland AFC happy to be amongst your milwalls and your Bristol City’s as average mid-table, if you’re lucky, teams

A disgrace

Yet half the fans will be content

 

[Shibby Safc]

15 mill then and spurs have 40% sell on clause. So let arguably best player go in championship for 7.5mill. KLD chancer ffss man

its gone from 25% to 40% in about 3 pages on this thread.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Wonder if it’s because they were willing to pay a chunk up front rather than over the years.

Of course, that would also then open up the suggestion somebody doesn’t plan to be around much longer.

 

[one footed wonder]

20 mill inc add ons, at least 5 mill short, poor from the club imo and yet again they are inviting pressure when there doesn’t need to be any.

Massive pressure on re-investment now

 

[Fez2]

Peanuts to a small club.

Lose to Burnley and that feel good factor will have gone

 

[genewolf]

I would have felt more comfortable at 25m plus add ons. Feels like we've negotiated poorly compared to the other clubs selling to Ipswich. Let's hope they spent some money wisely rather than on the shite they've bought recently.

Itll be 25%

 

[daveybigpotatoes]

KLD and speakman showing their true colours again

When will people wake up to these two shitbags man?

I think this may be the point - we can’t actually buy anyone until Jack is sold to fund it, so actually our negotiating position is weak.

Unreal isn't it?

How much more small time can we get?

 

[Superkenwynejones]

Go out and buy Benson

 

[sofatester]

Bye jack lad thanks for the brilliant memories

 

[mackem1989]

Ian Harte is the twat who’s pushed this

 

[Lord Nigle]

Ipswich will be back down next season. This should have been a 25 plus million sale. Why are we giving away our best player to PL relegation fodder? Surely an established Pl club would have been a better option.

 

[ftm1971]

Christ calm down people, if Ipswich are offering Prem football and a massive pay rise its going to happen, would happen at every other Championship club

 

[Andy7973]

I told you all earlier.

Also mentioned the deal was moving very quickly.

And no, as an Ipswich fan I don’t take pleasure in seeing fans of a club lose their top player.

Best of luck for the season.

Fuck off
