Probably paid up one year instead of two. Or some other similar arrangement which suited both parties.If we are still paying him then why let him go?
Is this not just to avoid being stuck with a huge squad?
He just wants a stronger but more streamlined group to work with. Simple really.
Cattermole didn’t really want to leave , could see the state our owners were in though .
It's amazing. People on here are becoming more and more precious, more and more angry at everything and just looking for the next thing to pounce on to slag off the owners.
Last summer we were happy to be rid of Short and a lot were happy at the new strategy of living within our means... it turns out we're not and falling short right at the end has caused everyone to have a mag style meltdown.
Ross isn't talking about an austerity drive mate. He's on about a smaller squad with more quality. Exactly what we need.You cant set a target of 100 points (15 more than last season) then implement a further austerity drive at the club. It stands to reason that the same players with the same manager, deploying the same tactics will by and large get the same results.....or worse if opposition clubs now know how Sunderland will approach games....it could be argued that scenario had already started playing out given our poor form for the last few months of last season.

Time will tell, Dobson perhaps? The squad is still too bloated though. Ross has said previously he wants a smaller squad.The owner said that wouldn't happen under his watch so until you can show evidence to the contrary I'll assume his wages are now off the books.
You can interpret it whichever way you like mate. Between £2-3m are off the wage bill and arguably our best CM player has left....who is his replacement?
No , Safc still got to pay him , just over more years . We are skintSo he's ripped up his contract?
Nope. Freeing up places in the squad to get the numbers/balance right mate.so its all down to getting rid of Oveido and Mcgeady to free up wage space
Ok, he only wanted to leave because he could see what mess our owner is in , and could only see things getting worse . Ideally he wanted to stay .if he didn't want to leave he would still be here..
Or he's 31 and knows it was the right time for both to part ways. He was on a fortune and might have struggled for a good move if he waits until the end of his contract.Ok, he only wanted to leave because he could see what mess our owner is in , and could only see things getting worse .

Cattermole would have received a golden handshake doubt he would still be drawing wage

Whatever . Just telling you what I knowOr he's 31 and knows it was the right time for both to part ways. He was on a fortune and might have struggled for a good move if he waits until the end of his contract.
So if we're still paying the Fooka, he should still be playing shouldn't he?
Paying over a longer time , reduces monthly payments , yes?So if we're still paying the Fooka, he should still be playing shouldn't he?
