I don't know the exact Parachute payment they will get but we got around £40.9 million so that's a tidy sum and should allow them to build a team to come back up if Short permits it and doesn't grab it for himself.
And managers and backroom staff probably Think most of that will go to debt reconciliation before the new manager gets a sniff http://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport...net-debt-now-11th-highest-in-europe-1-8332746 I know this was 2015 - but can't see it having improved much
Prejudices aside, I just cant see them making any sort of impact in the Championship next season. The parachute payments and PL money has already been spent over the last few seasons and Short wont put any more in. Mid table at best I reckon.
