Also Aberdeen wanted £1,000,000 compensation for losing their manager. I don`t think that was the reason - Sunderland and Aberdeen had agreed the `package` before he was allowed to talk to them. I think he`s got down there, taken one look and said no ******* chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think he probably did think that along with the fact that Ellis Short wants to sell and if that happens there would be a decent chance the new owner would want to bring in their own man. The bizarre thing that I don't get about Sunderland is that apparently they are £250m in debt, which is odd given all the years they have had the TV money and they are not a club that go big on transfer fees along with the fact that they get decent attendances even though they have been in the bottom 3/4 for most of the last few seasons.

Got to be wages then I guess. I wonder how much Defoe for instance was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maltshoveller Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 The Sunderland board are in talks with another group about a take over Why would DMac take the job not knowning who his new bosses could be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 So Sunderland MAY get new owners and until then it's difficult to appoint a manager. OK, the players should start their training in two week's time and they are experienced professionals. let 'em manage themselves for a few weeks. They'll see what's going wrong on the pitch, who's best in each position and who's off their game etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderMB Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I can only assume that McInnes had been told that the £30m for Pickford isn't going into the transfer kitty, and he'll have to get promotion with no budget and a squad of mercenaries. If he needs players, they've clearly got a good academy judging from that one player. Sound a bit familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be fella but you would have thought wages etc would be covered by the revenue streams. The only thought I have is that the owner borrowed to buy the club and saddled them with the debt a la the Glazers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be the old `bought it for a quid` thing with a promise to pay off the debts which never happened. Don`t suppose we`ll ever find out but I can see them being the next Bolton personally.

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 There is a possible take-over going on at Sunderland. No manager in their right mind, would leave a secure job and move to somewhere where the new owners may want to bring in their own man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about Pearson but it wouldn't surprise me, because apparently Del was told exactly the same thing, i.e. that he'd have a minimal amount to spend and would have to save a fortune on wages. Promotion next season was considered unrealistic and they're just looking to tighten up the finances. Déjà vu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
