Completely agree with you, who wants to go back to the days of signing, Alvarez, Rodwell, Djilobodji, Grigg and Ndong for millions then getting nothing back on their resale. No wonder we were a basket case of a club
Simon Jordan had to put miserable Danny "Stealing a living" Murphy and Jim "he's a close personal friend of mine" White, right on this matter on talkSPORT today after White said "Do sunderland need to take a look at themselves for having him on a rolling contract"? Jordan instantly corrected the two of them. Then they went on to say that Neil wanted more control over signing and day to day with the club. Odd that because Neil said he had the final say.
