Plus bonuses!! https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/foot...nd-barnsley-boss-paul-heckingbottom-pay-rise/ We can't compete with that simple as. That's around 8 times his current salary apparently. Be very very sad to see him go, but wouldn't blame him.
That's 14k a week. When they were relegated from the Premier league, the emphasis was on them significantly reducing the wage bill, hence the signing of players like David Vaughan as opposed to the route Middlesbrough had taken. I can't see them then backtracking and offering a young, still fairly unproven manager £14k per week. But then again, it is the sun reporting it, so I'm 50/50.
It's come from f'ing Alan King of Bullshite Nixon. Who makes statements as if they are fact. Then slithers away if they don't come true, and lauds it if they do. Last week he told us the takeover was a "done deal" - basically because of the media rebrand we all got excited about. He decided to state it was related to the takeover. Typical journalist who writes for the Scum. Edit: knew you were being sarcastic. Just reinforcing your point!
Sunderland chairman Ellis Short as a net worth of 1 Billion... but he is trying to sell. if they drop again, that task will be impossible. Plus they were only relegated in May. So parachute payments agogo.... Id say they have plenty of money if needed
How does Nixon know what they will pay him. Sounds like guesswork, speculation and BS as usual from him.
I understand why Nixon does it - he gets paid to seemingly be "in the know" so he latches on to gossip. Makes a few bits up and hopes a bit of mud sticks. Then makes out he broke the news.
