Has this been reported anywhere else? If so i havnt seen it. If it is true (which wouldnt suprise me) what a total clusterfuck.
Didnt know where to post this. So i guess this is as good as anywhere seeing its a money thread. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/business/business-news/sunderland-afcs-losses-widen-255m-11275553 More losses.
i would say that looks about right, you obviously don't have to spend a bucket on load on wages to get a good team. Bigger teams at the top have much bigger squads, Leicester have been fantastically fortunate with injuries and suspensions this year.
1. Jermaine Defoe - The former Spurs striker earns £80,000 every week. Fair do's. His goals are the difference ATM 2. Fabio Borini - This Italian forward is on £60,000 per week. Eeek! Still, I do rate him and it's not too left field 3. Lee Cattermole - The midfielder takes home a £50,000-a-week wage. Bargain 4. John O'Shea - £47,000, is what he earns. ****! Made his money and should be doing his coaching badges 5. Dame N'Doye - Trabzondpor's on-loan striker makes £40,500 weekly. Way OTT 6. Jeremain Lens - This Dutchman gets paid £40,000-a-week. Even OTT-er 7. Whabi Khazri - £40,000-a-week, he's on. OK 8. Lamine Kone - Makes £40,000 weekly as well. Fair do's 9. Wes Brown - The former Manchester united man earns £40,000-a-week at Sunderland. Too much for a medical benchwarmer. Bye bye! 10. Jack Rodwell - £37,000-a-week. About £33,000 too much 11. Younes Kaboul - The versatile defender makes £35,000 every week. Bargain 12. Seb Larsson - Also makes £35,000-a-week. Bit steep, but a reliable performer 13. Billy Jones - The fullback earns £32,000 weekly. Gag, retch, vomit... 14. Jan Kirchhoff - £30,000 per week. Give him a pay rise!! 15. Ola Toivonen - This midfielder earns £28,000 every week. See Billy Jones above... 16. Yann M'Villa - £25,000-a-week. Fair do's, although I am less enamoured of his than some on here 17. Patrick van Aanholt - The ex-Chelsea defender is on £25,000-a-week too. Fair do's 18. Vito Mannone - The stopper earns £22,500 weekly. Fair do's 19. Duncan Whatmore - £20,000-a-week. Fair do's 20. Jordan Pickford - The 22-year-old keeper earns £20,000-a-week. Fair do's 21. DeAndrea Yedlin - £15,000 every week. Fair do's 22. Steve Harper - The former Newcastle man makes £10,000 weekly. For what? Presumably his expertise in warming benches...?
