Sunderland - lack of investment arguements (1 Viewer)

[oldskyblue58]

Clearly Sunderland have by anyones standards invested in the playing squad, ok they lost Bent & Gyan but overall they spent significantly

They have taken 21 points out of the last 81. They have won 3 home games this calendar year.

CCFC have taken 27 points out of 87 under AT won just 5 games out of 29. Little investment

Clearly it takes more than money to bring success. A key part in that is the right players/quality (comes back to money i suppose) but also a manager making the right decisions for the players he has available. Seems that is a tough job with or without the cash

The point I am making in this arbitrary comparison is that whilst money has the greatest influence on a club, it aint just all about the money.

I agree with you mate.

Would love the funds to put that theory to the test though!

no it isnt but its abvout what you bring in, i think Bruce just started buying players left right and centre and not thinking about whether they fit the mold. did not buy wisely in my opinion.

The irony of it is that one of his better signings cost absolutely nothing.

O'neill has just been appointed, not bad! not bad at all!
