Is the media room now at Playford Road and what’s the food and beverage offerings like for you now, Phil? |  | | |

Everyone excited, can't wait to get going. Has seen too much togetherness from everyone inside and outside the club to believe it will be anything other than a successful season. | | | |

Everyone other than Azor and Jack T fit, still expecting to add more players, more outs as well. Will be more arrivals if all goes to plan. | | | |

Money spent a statement? Figure of £160m not right, but there is a big difference between Champ and Prem and aiming to give the best chance. Sunderland successful last year, but spending money no guarantee of success. My focus has been on putting whole thing together. Will keep working on it, really pleased with where we're at. Dara has been exceptional on the culture since I came in. | | | |

Delap an option? He's at Chelsea and they'll be in charge of what he does. We are still in the market for players in a couple of areas, top talent, players we wouldn't have been able to attract in the past. A lot of work has gone on to convince players that this is the right place for them this summer. Ipswich is a fantastic club which doesn't need selling, but when you're newly promoted there's the concern about relegation.
Number nine shirt to be filled? Emersonn and Chuba have had really good pre-seasons, we may be able to add another number nine in the next week or so. | | | |

Aim is to finish as high up the table as possible, owners very ambitious. Club feels different to where I've been before, to only have 20 managers illustrates that. It's a special football club. Was watching Sunderland last night with staff and so many fans came over to say hello. I know we're going to have a good season.
Spell in France really good, loved every minute of it. Enjoyed exposure to French football, playing PSG, Marseille away, European semi-final. Wasn't going to jump out of there for just anything, this was something special. Experience in Strasbourg has improved me as a manager. | | | |

Not spent money anywhere else, made profits at Bournemouth and Wolves. Chance to build, can only do that if we get results on the board, but that's the same in any job. Has been a long pre-season, which I'm grateful for, but we're ready to go. | | | |

Sunderland you forget have only been in the PL for a year. Done so well, but that doesn't mean we can't cause them problems. Tomorrow focus is on us. | | | |

Incredible summer, have done a lot of work, not just down to me, a lot of people working on things as well, will carry on until the window closes. Ideal start tomorrow.
New building fantastic, excellent for attracting players. But the little old one produced three promotions, there's a reason for that, it worked well. We've got to adjust, keep the same culture. If you focus too much on this place and new arrivals, you can lose that culture. As I say, Dara, Darnell, boys who have been here a while have helped with that.
With turnover we've had, there's been no real disruption in the group. Conscious of that, meant shopping on the continent as well as in the UK. Good group, toughest transition in world football, worked tirelessly. Meeting tomorrow to remind players, but work has been done. | | | |

You can see why Sunderland have been successful. They can mix it up, play in different ways. From afar it might be a surprise, but when you study them you can see why. | | | |

I'm sure I'll be proud tomorrow, back myself to get the team to the standard they need to be. Will only enjoy it if we get the three points. Focus on that and the connection with the fans, Mark A has mentioned the QPR game from the end of last season. | | | |

Expectation high regardless of money spent. Working hard to get better every day and will see where we're at tomorrow. Home game which gives us an opportunity, then two of the biggest clubs after that. | | | |

Enciso, tried to add to his game at Strasbourg, he was a standout when we were looking to add quality.
Ouattara has trained unbelievably well. Have a role in mind for him, not telling! There are a few. He's had a disrupted pre-season so won't be at top level yet. Both will be fully involved in the game. | | | |
