He had a top half championship squad though. Sunderland’s Squad is shit, the cost of the players is irrelevant.
I dunno. Of those he inherited:
Ikeme (never been bona fide first choice before)
Stearman (had been out on loan at Ipswich for months in 12/13)
Batth (about 12 games for us before that season)
Doherty (ditto, and was definitely not Champo standard at that stage)
Price (no first team football before that season)
Evans (ditto)
Edwards (Top half Championship standard? Debatable)
Sako
Griffiths (0 games for us before then, sold halfway through)
Doyle (crap anyway and gone in January)
Sig (ditto)
Played a reasonable part that season. The rest were bit part players or written off.
He had to build all the rest himself with not much money.
