Total staff costs 2015/16 £30m

these are our 2 promo season under the Allams

So I would imagine our budget this season will be around £30m ish
 
Where is your source to say he hasn't had pre-season training somewhere or the equivalent with someone?

He's not had a club, it's pretty obvious that he won't be have played in any pre season games. He's going to take a little time, I thought that was obvious
 
Been desperately searching this thread for news of a new signing, then see this!

Well that's conformation the allams are just asset stripping, such a versatile player gone without a fight to keep him.

His release clause was rumoured to be a crate of Stella, two bottles of tanqueray 10 and a box of crisps.
Fear not, I'm staying put

I strung them along, necked the release clause (minus the crisps to make sure it wasn't contractually binding) and then when they baulked at the on-going "free bar" wage I walked (well staggered) away

I'd like to publicly state my commitment to Hull City AFC and although this has been an unsettling period for everyone (not least my agent who took until 4am to track me down in the casino) I'm looking forward to the season with a fresh start (and a clean bar tab)

Bring on the Brewers <cheers>
 
He's been described on the Sunderland board as a model professional, looks after himself, doesn't drink. Even if he brings just that element into our club and helps guide our younger players, that's a massive positive for me. Adding experience and know how to the spine of the team.

I really don't see why people have a problem with this signing. Excellent addition for me.
