Great news. They announce Moyes is staying and Defoe likely to leave on the same day. The latter is pretty obvious but its like Davey wanted to kick th\em in both bollocks Be interesting to watch
Agent Saint Moyes continues his glorious work of thoroughly undoing SAFC. What a day this is turning out to be!
Ok, ok, you've convinced me, let Frebore come back. But he MUST watch this on continuous loop for a minimum of 24 hours before being allowed to post. That is my only condition. Otherwise he can rot on the Sunderland board.
Sunderland boss David Moyes says it is "hard to take" that Jermain Defoe has a relegation release clause in his contract that will allow the England striker to leave for free this summer. Bottom side Sunderland were relegated from the Premier League last month. Defoe, 34, joined Sunderland in January 2015 and signed a contract extension in June under former boss Sam Allardyce. "I wouldn't have allowed a clause to be in there but it is and we have to honour the contract," said Moyes. "We hope he stays, the supporters hope he says, but it has to be Jermain's decision." Defoe has scored 15 goals in 35 Premier League appearances this season for the Black Cats. You just gotta love Moyes. WTF? So he would have refused Defoe a release clause? And then Defoe never woud have signed in the first place. How can you be surprised that a player like Defoe would need a clause at a club like Sunderland? You plonker Moyesey!!
Moyes MUST be the best they've had in terms of amusement factor. Every time he speaks to press it's comedy gold. Love the bloke. Not ever as Toon manager I hope. To think some wanted him here not that long ago!
