That doesn’t seem so unfair. When we were in the Premier League I bet most of us weren’t looking at League One checking up on goalscorers.

Aye, but we're not paid to manage a team with relatively limited funds (as far as premier league goes), so surely his job should be to know as much as he can about the English game. I'd have thought the highest scoring teenager in England (or he was at some point) may have cropped up on his radar at some point.

Any update though on the Maja contract ?

The silence from Maja's side has been deafening since he went back on his statement to Ross that he was going to sign, and there's very little on the normal rumour mills other than blind speculation. Not even any rumours of contact with the club or bids for him.

That and the fact that he knocked back such a huge wage for L1 which was heavily in his favour whether we got promoted or not leads me to guess he's got something lined up in another country and he's definitely off.

It is a guess mind.

I would’ve thought they have a scouting team whose job it is the majority of the time. I expect his time is mostly taken up by day to day management.
 
If he goes to the championship (still a big if) then to be honest where would he go that is as big or bigger than Sunderland ? ....... how many Championship clubs have had 46000+ fans at a game this season ?.....and for league 1 ffs.......lets hope he sees sense, tells his agent to fuck off, and do the sensible thing and stay in a team where he is doing well, and which "may" end up in that league anyway..
 
Sunderland manager Jack Ross met the press ahead of tomorrow’s Checkatrade Trophy with Newcastle United U21s, and gave updates on injuries, Josh Maja’s contract situation and more. On team news... We have no fresh injuries. We were obviously quite stretched squad-wise on Saturday, we only had fifteen fit outfield senior players. So, we’re more...

would be nice but realistically he's not going to tell his agent to do one. footballers are generally thick as fuck and will do whatever an agent tells them to do regardless of whether it's in their best interests or not

"I think what I said post-match on Saturday remains the case and I’ve been fairly consistent in my communication with regards to it.

I don’t envisage anything changing and certainly, the communication that I’ve had with Stewart as of today is that we are where we were.

He’ll continue to be a part of my team and my squad for as long as he continues to train the way he does and perform the way he has done in matches.

I pointed out after the game that there is a difference between asking to leave a club and at a moment in time, not taking up the option of signing an extension to your contract.

So, the latter is what he’s done, it’s not the former, which means that the situation is easier for me."

Sounds a bit more likely that he'll run his contract down than leave in January.
