Is it not the end of Sunderland? I for one jokingly admitted that going down could be a blessing in disguise as we could get rid of the 8 or so players out of contract and some high earners, notably Johnson. However, when you look at it, if those 8 dont have their contracts renewed the squad is essentially skin and bones and if they are given new deals I dont trust Gardner and co to do the business in the Championship. It really is worrying times and if I were Ellis Short, I'd be rolling the dice and counting my lucky stars whilst opening the cheque book now.
