Feck off Rodwell

Looks like hes planning on sticking around on his 50k a week. He probs knows nobody else would touch him especially on his lucrative contract....

Jack Rodwell admits that Sunderland have let their fans down this season, and wants to ensure that next term is one to remember for the Black Cats faithful.Rodwell returned to the Black Cats side for the final-day game against Chelsea yesterday, but was powerless to prevent his side falling to a 5-1 win.

The midfielder had gone close to levelling the scores with a header for a corner early in the second half, but he and his team-mates were overrun as Chelsea added three goals in the final half hour.

Rodwell says the attention will now turn to the summer and getting the Black Cats in a position to bounce straight back.

He said: “It has been difficult, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time here, it’s difficult but we just have to focus on next season now, it’s not been the season we wanted.

“We’re disappointed and feel we’ve let the fans down. We want to give them something to cheer next season.

“No one wants that [relegation] but this is a great club and I’m sure we can bounce back up.”

Sunderland had been hoping to finish the season on a positive note after the 2-0 win over Hull City two weeks ago, but they have since fallen to three emphatic defeats.

Rodwell conceded that Sunderland fell to the better side at Stamford Bridge, as champions Chelsea ended their campaign on a high, with a record 30th Premier League victory.

He said: “We had to try and do our best for our pride and for the fans.

“We gave it our all, but it was two tough games against Arsenal (2-0 defeat last midweek) and Chelsea.

“They’re champions for a reason.

“The last 20 minutes we declined and they really stepped it up.

“They had more possession obviously, but, for 70 minutes, we stuck with it, stuck to a gameplan, but once the third and fourth goals went in it was game over really.

“Now we can focus on having a good summer and coming back raring to go.

“It is a big season for us next season and it is our main focus now.

“Once you are relegated, it is one of those things, it’s not that you want the season to finish but now it has you begin to focus on next season.”

 

Biggest waste of money ever in my time.
Man C certainly had our eyes out over this useless ****.

 

Only player without a relegation clause. He'll never earn more than he's earning again in his entire life. No way he'll leave. The prick. He better set that league on fire for his own sake.

 

Would you swap him for the Ginger Pirlo?

 

Words from a man who said moving to and playing for Sunderland would get him back playing for England !

 

Whees telt yer that?
Not saying you're wrong just asking as I've not heard of this.

 

Moyes confirmed it a couple of weeks back in a press conference.

Sunderland's drop to the Championship was confirmed last month after their 1-0 defeat at home to Bournemouth.

And the Sunderland squad will suffer a 40 per cent wage-cut ahead next season due to a clause in the players' contracts - apart from midfielder Jack Rodwell.

GETTY

Jack Rodwell will continue to earn £60,000 a week in Championship
“I believe there is one player who has not but I think the rest are," Moyes said. "I believe it is all 40 per cent.”

And when pushed if the player in question was Rodwell, Moyes added: "Yes."

The Sun claim the former Everton and Manchester City player will continue earning £60,000 a week at the Stadium of Light.

Sunderland signed Rodwell for £10million in 2014 from City, but the 26-year-old has so far failed to live up to expectations.

Rodwell, who has won three caps for England, has started just 16 Premier League games for the Black Cats this season.



Was all over rtg, the press, twitter and facebook, just not on here.

 

that wont make him popular amongst his team mates.

 

Pretty sure he's the only pre Congerton player not have signed a new contract since the relegation clause policy was installed.

 

Most of them will be ofskie anyway I reckon.

 

Why would he leave? He won't get anything near that at any other club!

 

That's ****ing shocking Brian.
Another club **** up.

 

Nee ****er would pay him £6k per week let alone £60k.

He's going nowhere unless we heavily subsidise those wages.

 

But anybody coming in will be thinking 'Hows this loser getting £60K a week?'

 

Players like him and Kirchoff should be on a pay as you play basis cause neither of them can even play half a season. He gets paid for sitting on his arse.

 

Can see us trying to loan him out in an attempt to reduce his wage burden.

 

Is he one that doesn't have a relegation clause? Think he'll be OK in the championship but his wages are ridiculous!

Edit - just scrolled up and seen the article where Moyes confirms no wage cut for him!!

 

How many games do you think he'll actuallly be fit enough to play?

A midfield 3 of Catts, Ndong and McNair should see us alright it that league. I have my doubts about Catts staying fit aswell though.

 

If he stays fit he'll do well and score a few next season.

Defenders in that league give you an age on the ball and acres of space. I can see him scoring a few rakers from outside the box.

A season in the championship could revive his career. Shame there's no clause though as 60k is extortionate in the championship. There's Juve players on half of that
