Even in the Championship, where teams like Leeds United and Sheffield United have plenty of cash to spend, a lot of money is spent during the January transfer window.
Transfer costs for championships are increasing. Even if teams like Burnley, Leeds United, or Sheffield United spend £10 million on a single player, their finances might not even be affected.
However, Sunderland is operating a considerably more efficient ship. At the Stadium of Light, parachute payments are long gone because the Black Cats haven’t played in the Premier League for almost eight years.
However, Kyril Louis-Dreyfus has put the team back on course. And with the Black Cats in fourth place of the Championship table following Sunderland’s victory over Sheffield United on New Year’s Day, Regis Le Bris in the dugout has brought the team’s Premier League dreams to life.
When Elliot Embleton joins Carlisle United, Sunderland receives a windfall.
Elliot Embleton, a former Sunderland player, has switched teams. After barely six months with the Seasiders, it was announced at the start of the new year that Embleton would be joining Carlisle United.
Under former Sunderland manager Steve Bruce, who is currently in charge at Bloomfield Road, Embleton had rapidly lost favor. Then, League Two underdogs Carlisle United announced on Thursday that they have signed Embleton permanently.
Journalist Michael Graham disclosed that the Black Cats were not getting an upfront payment when Embleton departed Sunderland for Blackpool in the summer. In the event that the 25-year-old leaves Blackpool, they would instead get a “chunky” sell-on fee.It’s unclear if Sunderland will make any purchases in January. However, two days into the window, they are suddenly expected to get a windfall—and from a surprising source.
