Yeah that was mentioned last year by the Peterborough owner I think that Hill didn’t rate or want Maddison at Sunderland.
it hedges its bets but I wouldn't trust it, nothing new from hearing "advanced talks" - just a throwaway tweet as everyone else is rumouring
I’d say without question we’d look the most likely place for him, rumour or otherwise. Hill saying he ‘Didn’t fancy him’ likely cost us promotion.
Richard Hill never said he didn't want Maddison, he said he didn't want him for the 2.5 mil that Peterbourough quoted. He did say that it would be a totally different proposition when his contract was up though. https://rokerreport.sbnation.com/20...about-sunderland-approach-for-marcus-maddison
It was after that, Darragh McAnthony interview if you have a look, they came back and offered us him for a knockdown when became clear he wasn’t signing, and Hill ‘didn’t fancy him’. This was a live sky interview.
