Off topic, but if you ever want to get an idea of the effect the gulf stream/north Atlantic drift have on our climate in Scotland, have a look at Edinburgh's latitude on a map, then look at the sorts of places that are on roughly the same latitude in North America and think about the sort of winters they get!

I've read some things saying his wife would like to move back to the North Yorkshire area, and from that area to Sunderland is about a 40-50 mile drive up the A1. If he wants to move on we just have to accept it and move on as well. You do realise he isn't our player and both parties have already moved on?

Forrest Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Just spoke with a Sunderland ST holder friend who said that he'd as good as signed, and also that they'd signed Ozturk! They're also still in negotations with McGeoch (apparently the sticking point is on an increase to his wages if they get promoted). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_HMFC Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Leaves Hearts for Sunderland because they can offer more money. Absolute sham that clubs in the diddy leagues can offer more money than a club like Hearts playing in the Premiership. Although the impression I got from McLaughlin was that he never had any intention of signing for Hearts even if we offered him 20k a week.

By the light Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Don’t understand why people take the hump. He’s served his contract and moved on, most likely doubled his money. The club have moved on so everyone else should too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF are you talking about? He has no valid point. JM has a number of prospective employers to choose from and a large part of his decision will be based on the financial incentives each one is willing and able to offer. Loony rants about he and his wife getting ordinary jobs, etc, are just that... loony rants. I've no idea who you think I'm doffing a cap to. You're obviously as loony as Comrade Peter!

Martin Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Although it's a fortune to us normal folk, the new Sunderland chairman said the other day they wouldn't be paying more than £5k a week for players. So he certainly won't be getting more than he would have got in Azerbaijan and I don't imagine it's a massive amount more than he was getting here. Certainly won't be life changing for him going from us to Sunderland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauld Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 To be fair, Sunderland have no business being in that league. With the size of their fan base, stadium of 50k, money being in England provides, they should be in the EPL. It is down to bad management from board to touchline that they are where they are. He has joined what is a huge club that has been run badly. If they start doing it right he has made a terrific move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already answered but shows how much I know/care about English football. Not going to apologise because I didn’t know Burton Feckin Albion were in the 2nd tier! Pish teams in a league’s third tier being able to help themselves to the best Scottish talent because of TV money is starting to really grind my gears. Something needs to be done. How is it done in other countries? You don’t see second or third tier teams in Germany, Spain, Italy etc plundering talent and ruining players.
