Sadly yes.
When you look at how Barnes conducted himself and contrast it to Liam it is hard not to be disappointed.
Of course I wish him well but players are more than well paid compared to the vast majority of fans who follow their clubs so refusing to deliver their part of the "contract"...
c£3m fee according to the local Sunderland press. Agree with the seeming consensus that
(a) Bridcutt had his head turned when Gus left having (if rumour is to be believed) been promised thst he would go to the premier league with him.
(b) his playing style is ideally suited to Gus and less so...
Bidders for Bridders? Think there will be a few twists and turns before it's all sorted. Palace and Baggies still to come out of the long grass as teams his style might suit.
Not convinced we should be looking at Ince as the direct replacement as he is more comfortable pushing a little furthrr...
I was told (and posted on here) that one of the issues of Gus' gross misconduct was telling certain contracted players he would be taking them with him to his next club..............
