Club comment on Colback departure.
After the announcement that Jack Colback has signed for Newcastle United, SAFC has issued the following statement:
âJack is a player we have nurtured and developed through our academy system since he was eight years old. We gave him the opportunity to become a professional footballer and are therefore extremely disappointed in the events that have led to his departure from the club.
âThis wasnât about money - the club agreed to all of the terms demanded of us during discussions and we were always led to believe that Jack wanted to stay with us. At his and his representativesâ request, final talks were put on hold until the club secured its top flight status. To our dismay however, we were subsequently never given the chance to negotiate with him to stay.
âFor him to then leave the club that has supported him throughout his formative years in such a manner, with no chance for Sunderland to recover any of the significant investment that it has made in him as a player, has left a bitter taste."
Lets keep it realistic though, the lad simply isn't a good enough player for us to do anything major, he doesn't merit a song or boo's.
Can I suggest giant inflatable carrots in the South stand, maybe?
That's an unusually strong statement released by the club.
They've made no attempt to hide their irritation and bitterness.
Very surprised to see that.
Could be a blame shifting exercise as cover for the arse the club made of things.

Surely one of the clubs resident wordsmiths could think of a 'we don't give a ****, you're average as ****' style song then?
Surely that would hit deeper than boos and carrots?
"you're not welcome in the bridges" - classic, I hope he regrets his decision now.
You've got no respect
You've got no respect
You sushed the gallowgate
You ginger cnut arsehole
You've got no respect
Your going down on alan pardew
Down on pardew
Your going down on pardew
You ginger turncoat ****tard
Your sucking his peice
Your sucking his peice
Your sucking his peice
Your not welcome in the bridges
Your sucking his peice
