Jack Clarke’s message after Sheffield Wednesday loss fuels fan hopes of Sunderland stay.
Sunderland fans were handed a glimmer of hope by Jack Clarke after the Sheffield Wednesday game.
The Wearsiders were beaten 2-0 by Sheffield Wednesday in their final game of the season with Clarke starting at the Stadium of Light on the left wing under interim head coach Mike Dodds.
Sunderland fell a goal down in the 29th minute when Liam Palmer opened the scoring after an excellent pass from Barry Bannan. The visitors then doubled their advantage nine minutes later when Josh Windass converted Pol Valentin’s cross.
Speculation has been rife for some time that Clarke could be sold during the upcoming summer window for big money in order to fuel Sundeland’s much-needed rebuild. The former Tottenham and Leeds United winger has two years left on his current deal but is unlikely to sign another contract as it stands amid interest from the Premier League and Europe.
Taking to Instagram after the Sheffield Wednesday game, however, Clarke handed Sunderland gans a glimmer of hope by stating that “we will be back stronger.” Clarke’s full post read: “Another Season finished. Sadly not good enough over the course of the year. We will be back stronger. Over and out.”
