Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)

[Sleepy]

What an absolute state the club is in, shows our intent. I wonder what the desperate need for cash is right now?

Aye we sit 4th with a squad of young talent worth near 100 million
Others coming through the under 21s -in fact 17 year olds paying up three years
Nightmare times at safc !
Think I will bail out after 60 plus years of supporting the heroes
Never had it so bad

 

[Boris Bear]

So you're telling me we haven't invested the money from Clarke and Stewart then?

I’m telling you that we’ve spent a fraction on incoming transfers of what we’ve raised in outgoing, while the owner has not maximised (according to rules) the amount he invests

Dopey

 

[abbs]

No difference than working a months notice. Won’t make any difference one bit. It’s not like he’s the star player.

It's totally different

 

[Wrenthorpe Mackem]

So....will Watson even make the bench next season?

 

[Stubbs ftm]

Not really arsed. This will happen more so stop pissing your pants about it

 

[EternallySAFC]

I agree but the money will not be reinvested

That’s very generous of you

Given we are losing money year on year all transfer fees so far have been reinvested. What makes you think we will make a profit this year and the owner is going to take money out of the club?

Would you prefer the pennies we would get for him next season?

Not sure what the club are supposed to do if the player is not willing to extend their contract? The club is a business at the end of the day and players are commodities. Why let him leave as a free agent? The club have invested in the lad and now will get a return on their investment. Makes perfect sense

 

[maghater]

Can t blame the lad, Brighton are a much bigger club than Sunderland

 

[Mag Slayer]

For selling a play who's played 15 game's who got 18 months on his contract and who doesn't want to be here for 10 million ? Have a word with your self would you

Some of the comments are entertaining on here

I never said he is taking money out of the club (yet)…the club is making a loss and he has taken out a loan facility secured against the stadium to cover it, rather than converting debt to equity (which he is allowed to do)

 

[Smartin]

At least clubs want to buy our players now, we're in a good position.

 

[garyeaststand]

Doesn’t matter…the office tea lady is not registered either

His job title was football scout with smi, all a murky world so I’m sure he got bonuses for ‘agent’ type work with them

 

[Boris Bear]

He’ll be fourth choice unless their squad drastically changes

 

[bankofengland]

For selling 26million worth of players and spending a quarter of that

Now you're simply just making things up we've spent the majority of the 25 million we got from stewart and clarke

 

[Boris Bear]

Fantastic eh

 

[LRW]

£10m for a third choice left winger who has had two good games in the first team but thinks he is better than us will do me tbh.

 

[Faust17]

Tbf it’s amazing business- £10m - He’s not even in our first 11 (Roberts and mundle are out first two wingers right?)

When was the last time we sold a reserve player for £10m? Have we ever

Crazy money and we rightly have snapped their hands off.

 

[East Riding Mackem]

Why? He’s still a player and supporter of the club and wants to help us get promoted

Cos we could quite easily go up & if he’s a fan wouldn’t he rather play for us than Brighton?
