Yes, you're right there. Gus was appointed with Sunderland at P7 W0 D1 L6. His record is P13 W3 D4 L6. So he is averaging 1pt per game. Clearly their trip to Fulham on Saturday is a big one. A beautifully cliched 6 pointer.
They've got 14 points in 20 games. 4 or 5 points is massive for them. They have 18 games left and need at least 22 points you would think. It will be a dramatic escape if they make it. I think Gus can improve them, but survival is asking a lot. Fulham have actually picked up 9 pts in their last...
Well of course you would waive conditions if it helped you get the move you wanted if you felt the club you were contracted to weren't going to let you go. An obvious bit of leveraging I would think?
