This ''man'' says he is fit, wants to play football and is good enough to play for England again. CC should wait until Saturday morning then tell him he's playing today (no time to get himself 'injured' in training.) Possibility (1) If he says no, I don't want to -- surely that can be breach of contract ? If not, at least we could further expose him for what he is - by the next window he'll be even more forgotten, and so far from match play less desirable (if that's possible) Possibility (2) He plays and decides he has something to prove, plays to get a transfer to the premiership, and single handedly takes us up to mid table. Yes, I know...............
Banish the **** i say, do what needs to be done within fulfilling his contract at our end and set about destroying any chance he ever has of salvaging his career, make sure he's only spoken of in the press as unprofessional. Let him know if he's going to see out his contract not to expect a career at the end of it. Scare him into leaving.
There's no way back for him now though thanks to that interview. He'd get slaughtered if he ever stepped out in Sunderland colours again, and even at his best he's got no confidence. He's not only burned the bridges, he's sought out the only bridge maker in town and burned his house to the ground too.
I love the way Coleman talks. It is genuine, he doesn't say what he thinks people want to hear. My office is right at the end of that hall, basically he knows where it is... whatever you are you are. Whatever you say your gonna do just back it up... You can tell by his face that he really hoped he'd have gone by now.
He says nowt about McNair lying on the treatment table next to him, he's on £35k a week. Another waster. Poor Jack gets all the flack on here
McNair is on nothing like 35k week, cost £4.5million and has repeatedly injured himself rushing back too soon to try and help the team. They are absolutely nothing alike.
