No cunning Bruce plan to damage Black Cats

So what if Liverpool wanted him during January? Jones should be more than happy to play for a club where his status has grown out of proportion with his actual performances.

John Terry is rightly crucified for having it good and wanting better, so why should Jones be excused if he is still dreaming of Anfield?

And would that he was the only man in red and white stripes needing to get over himself.

Steed Malbranque was born in an area torn apart by World War I, but you wouldn’t want him alongside you in the trenches.

Similar goes for Kieran Richardson.

Others – others who were NOT brought to the club by Bruce – are simply not good enough, but have been used out of unfortunate necessity.

Despite all that, and as long as Darren Bent stays fit, Sunderland should be fine this season.

Sure, the summer will be the time for a purge. But not of the dug-out . . .
