Reply | Leeds and Sunderland straight into the European markets

Easy to forget that Sunderland have been in the top flight more often than not in the time we’ve been away from it.
Let’s hope we are addressing the infrastructure at pace because not a chance we stay up without approaching things very differently next time re recruitment. Hands were tied to a very large extent last summer I suppose and the more Ashton talks, the more obvious it is that our signings were made with this season in mind. |

I had wondered whether he might be one we’d want regardless. |

Yes exactly. I suspect most of our action comes in the last few days this year |

I doubt Hackney is in any particular rush but know we were keen last summer so presumably we’ve been talking to him for a while. I |

He’s 29, chasing a 3 year contract (probably his last of that length) on as much money as he can possibly get - remember he wouldn’t have earned much in football terms until relatively recently.
That coupled with a want to play every week to get in a World Cup squad makes it an absolute no brainer for him to leave us, and it’s also a no brainer to go somewhere where he’s guaranteed to be a main man - doubt that would have been the case at some of the clubs mentioned.
Good luck to him. |

Yep absolutely. I met him at a couple of clubs in Yorkshire and I imagine it’s rare that you see an ex ref who is clearly so well liked and respected. |

Brentford is clearly an attractive proposition given where they are but it’s a tiny club isn’t it. I think if he’s turned down the likes of Brighton and Palace, and been in the running for Chelsea, maybe Man U, it would be a slightly odd choice. |

Thought he stood out a few weeks ago when he scored against us.
I didn’t watch but how was Taylor? [Post edited 7 Jun 9:57]

Reply | Who else to go? If we manage retain Axel and Johnson
at 08:33 6 Jun 2025
I think we’ll keep Clarke this season and am hopeful on Axel.
I imagine we’ll lose Davis, O’Shea, Johnson, Burgess and probably Broady. Omari not sure we will if £35m is the price, but if he makes a good impact for the u21s in the next few weeks, who knows. |

Yep. So think the max possible is 25 being 19+ Wimbledon + last season membership? Will increase to 30 with 2025 membership. |
