I consider Jack Rodwell as a legend. He took Sunderland from the Premier League to League One in a space of a couple years, whilst bleeding Sunderland dry. ⚫⚪
Listen, 70K is more than what the average Thomas is making (by a mile), so I understand going full Winston Bogarde on your contract! And second of all, to blame a single field player for back-to-back relegations in a team sport means that you're looking for someone to blame or you don't know anything about the game. TO BE CLEAR: I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT JAYSE AND THIS VIDEO!
Also to add to this point when Sunderland signed rodwell in 2014 it happened after 2 seasons fighting relegation and just surviving so you would think Sunderland should have had the competence to include a relegation clause. To me you can’t solely blame rodwell but rather the incompetence and instability of Sunderland at the time both at board level and managerial level.
I think he was afraid that this would be his last real paycheck playing soccer. He knew better than anyone that he was straight terrible and the stats couldnt fool anyone anymore. And injuries. I wouldve done the same got my money and found a new career. Wonder wut hes doin in 2024
Rodwell was certainly a part of it but not the only part. Johnson was another point- top player that cost a bomb...woops he sleeps with a 15 year old. Then there's signing lazy useless Ndong instead of Mvilla. And Kaboul being sold super cheap (for decent reasons, he had a sick kid and needed london hospitals) without being replaced shattering the defence. And of course Moyes. Such a terrible manager
I'm sorry but as a Sunderland fan this was not just down to Rodwell, was admittedly was an absolutely terrible signing. We's be been woefully ran for years - the owner at the time Ellis Short didn't have a clue abour football and wasn't that intereted in it. When he lost interest due losing money through his own incomoetence, he let the club go to rot.
That's not true at all Eliss Short spent a fortune on the club ,nearly 1/4 of a billion . It was the people running the club and the stupid decisions they made which also included ridiculous agents fees , legal fees and compensation payments to managers that were sacked . 😡😡😡
Nah you can’t put that on him. They were relegated because they were run terribly. He was scapegoated by a team that was in complete free fall.
He was partially to blame for his attitude and refusal to play and the fitness level after his injury 😡

I read this with a sound of red Strat of Mark Knopfler playing in my head immediately

6:37 I watched this match live one of the few happy moment as a Sunderland fan in recent years
How can anyone be worried about money when you've been paid 70k a week for the last 2 years
he probably got used to the salary so anything under would feel "below" him
