I'm hoping Sheaf is back, I think we've really missed his more dynamic progressive passing while he's been out. If we're going to sit off it's important that when we get the ball back we use it well.
I assume it's taken the figures from the last set of accounts, depends on how many players have been signed / new deals agreed but it's probably a good rough estimate. I'd imagine Sunderland's wage bill is higher after promotion than stated here.
