    A profit not bad business,
    Not quite good enough a typical BFS signing or was it not his fault ?
    Good luck finding a new club BFS might be coming back for you at his new club

    I would ask the Sunderland fans what’s their reaction to the possibility Sam could be their next manager… are they dancing in the streets? lol

    No Matte its total Labour up there they will be crying in there beer and then they are going to end up with BFS,
    Feel sorry for them great honest fans a lot of money spent on rejects from top 6 teams who treat it like early retirement and don’t put themselves out,
    Great stadium as well just bad business decision by owners.

    BFS playing out of position didn’t help – it was obvious from Day One that BFS didn’t fancy him but he was able to sign him cheaply because his Contract was coming up – another suspicious bit of business involving BFS and his mate Mark Curtis!!
