Sbragia happy to be rid of dissenteers

RICKY SBRAGIA feels Sunderland is a happier place to manage after ridding the club of the dressing room dissenters and whisperers.

During the transfer window Sbragia stamped his mark on the squad, trimming it to what he now describes as a “workable” level.

The likes of Pascal Chimbonda and El Hadji Diouf could certainly be viewed as the likely disruptive influences Sbragia moved on.
