http://m.bbc.com/sport/football/39759279 Some interesting bits in there "As Sunderland took root at the foot of the Premier League, the toxic combination of apathy and anger set in" "Moyes was restricted by a relatively small transfer budget and an owner in Ellis Short who wants to sell the club, but his dealings smacked of conservatism and suggested he was not prepared to broaden his horizons beyond the familiar." Two things that the pessimist in me could suggest are vaguely similar to things at Portman Road. I don't like Sunderland. Their supporters are terrible, they are Newcastle's N*rwich. Living off a few derby wins, but otherwise they will never be anything near to them. Maybe my soft spot for the Barcodes clouds my vision slightly. I am happy to see the two teams trade places. I think they will struggle in this league, their best players will leave. Moyes will not do a Benitez. | |
