Carson recalled by Sunderland but then loaned out again

Lincoln City appear to have been screwed over by Sunderland after the Premiership club recalled their goalkeeper yesterday, only to then loan him out to another side for the remainder of the season.
Carson was on loan at Sincil Bank until yesterday evening, leaving the Imps potentially without a goalkeeper until mid-April, although City have since signed Elliott Parish from Aston Villa. It had left the Imps with less than 24 hours to find a new goalkeeper, meaning that City could have been forced to field Paul Musselwhite for the next few weeks until Joe Anyon returns on loan, Musselwhite having been retired from professional football for several years.
Although his recall was initially believed to be covering for injuries to Simon Mignolet and Craig Gordon, he has instead been loaned out to Brentford.
The goalkeeper impressed whilst at Sincil Bank and his recall came out of the blue.
He has now been loaned out to Brentford less than 24 hours after the Black Cats recalled him.
Sadly he is Sunderlands player and they had 24 hr recall. Sunderland were paying some of Carsons wages. The only thing i can think of is that Brentford are paying his complete wages.
I heavily suspect that the main reason Bruce sent him to Brentford was that they're in the JP Trophy Final either this weekend or next...that's my best guess anyway.
I guess it just goes to show the attitude of some of the Premier League clubs....I do have a lot of time for Aston Villa though as they've we've had a bit of a relationship with them in recent years....a friendly and loan players is more than we'd get with most.
To be fair to Sunderland I think this way he is likely to get games until the end of the season. If he had stayed with us, I think he would only have had games for another month and then had to go back.
The other part is that I would think Carson would have a say too, its not just Sunderland.
They have both their regular goalkeepers fit again so why did he need to leave here
The only reason probably was that they are paying all of Carsons loan fee were as Lincoln wasn't paying any
