It was a bit disappointing to see him sign for Sunderland... and had the deal been equal wage or a tiny bit more, maybe you could have questioned Chops' loyalty.
I'm sure it's not ideal, as he would have loved to cracked it for the toon, but you'd have to be mental not to accept the deal/challenge the Mackems were offering him.
indeed. It was pretty clear what was going on. Claiming he almost kissed the badge is being ridiculous... wishful thinking to hate him even
