It would appear that Dan Neil and his representatives totally misread his value to Sunderland football club, they played the haggle game and the club didn’t bite, how much money has he lost since refusing whatever the club offered, will whatever signing on fee he’s hoping to get from wherever he goes cover the shortfall, personally I think he’s been very badly advised and has shot himself in the foot.
*Disclaimer
I have no idea whatsoever what Neil earns, what he was offered or what he thinks he’s worth.
