Arriving for his medical and leaving

Roma have already decided not to offer him a contract. Seems remarkably quick to me.

Perhaps they hired someone to do a check on his references? Top tip to English clubs, do that.

Jack Rodwell says he played for Everton and Manchester City? Go and check the wikipedia Gianni.

Ok Angelo... it says he is a waste of space who was less popular than a convicted paedophile team mate at his last club. He collected a lot of money for sitting on, how do the English say, harris over the last few years whilst his club sank without trace. At City he was a waste of money. But he did score a good goal against Manchester United when at Everton but that is almost 10 years ago.

I think we say no Gianni. He is not good. Also I heard of Sunderland with red and white stripes but who is this Everton? They play in Chile no?

I will go back to the internet Angelo. Apparently they play at the Lisbon and hate managers and all their players are rotten.

That brings it all back, remember that Steveo Walshio from a few years back?

Ha! Bery gud. However, it does appear that they’ve come to this conclusion, however crap the poor boy is now, indecently quickly. Brutal.
 

Never rated him as a player but had warm feelings for him after he left because he went the right way, club got a great deal and he never piped up with anything.

That documentary on Netflix though saw my estimation of him plummet. He was already a multi-millionaire yet wouldn't agree to cancel his contract which could have saved many folks jobs. Selfish and stupid, like many modern footballers sadly. Wouldn't ever welcome back in any capacity now after that, we're a club that should only want good people in our doors.

This was not Rodwell's fault. He was a staff member getting paid the wage he'd earned. It's a crazy amount of money but the job losses were the result of Sunderland's business failure and then attempt by the higher ups to make their dollar.

Dear Jack Rodwell,

We'd like you to take the fall for our appalling business practices down the years. Please walk away without the large pile of cash we agreed to pay for your services and accept in its place this nice warm feeling along with your P45.

You'd really be doing us a great service as we'll be able to keep on some non-playing staff we hadn't budgeted for because we're crap at running a football club.

Yours,

Sunderland AFC

He helped tank Sunderland.

I think there's a case for us naming a stand after him.

100% correct. If he worked on a factory floor, he would be entitled to do the same.
