They have new owners that are throwing the money around. I suppose it’ll not be their fault when it all goes wrong again. There’s some money about in League One nowadays. Sunderland close to signing Alex Pritchard, and McGeady has signed a new deal there.
If he doesn’t hit the ground running, with goals the pressure will soon be on him. Not sure he is all that anyway, yes he had a fantastic season with Sunderland, but can’t recall him doing too much on a regular basis prior to that
That's what I can't understand. Maybe their FA Cup win has raised their profile and attracted interest? Not that it's likely to ever be repeated........
Maybe a bit of a punt, if they're wealthy enough to call it that. They paid something like £3m for the club, the stadium and a training ground. Compare that with what our owners paid (or at least were supposed to) for the club, with stadium rent to pay on top of that.
