    And I've seen people posting about how underwhelmed they are ...

    ... I don't think it's dawned on us how big this can be, especially if the Americans remain.

    I think it's tongue in cheek and slightly irrelevant with wage caps and FFP tbh. We don't need to spend a billion or even tens of millions at the moment. We need to spend a few hundred thousand and plan ahead.

    What it means is that we're covered on making mistakes like Grigg and Parkinson ...

    ... we can bin them with money behind us.

    Sartori has spoken before in an interview about his passion to progress Uruguayan football and he sees Sunderland as a way to helping do that.

    That’s was my thought process in this when I read they are also interested in the South American team.. sporting director with the right structures between clubs and it could be very interesting to see how this all develops

    Sunderland director Juan Sartori has revealed that he wants the Black Cats to invest in a club in his native Uruguay at some point in the future.

    Sartori, who holds a 20% stake in Sunderland having first invested in the club in 2018, now has visions of expanding the Wearsider’s horizons, and it seems he already has already identified a number of potential options for feeder clubs in Uruguay.

    Speaking about the possibility of Sunderland establishing a link-up with a club in the South American country, Sartori was quoted by The Chronicle as telling Uruguayan broadcaster Radio 1010: “I would love for Sunderland to have an affiliated club in Uruguay.

    “I studied a number of Uruguayan clubs to be able to do it, but due to lack of time I could not complete that project. I will surely end up doing it.”

    It seems that Sartori is keen to follow in the footsteps of the City Football Group – who own stakes in a number of clubs worldwide, including Manchester City and Uruguayan club Montevideo City Torque – with Sartori revealing he has even held talks with the Uruguayan football authorities about such a move.

    Detailing his discussion with the President of the Uruguayan FA (AUF), Ignacio Alonso, about such potential investment,
    Sartori revealed: “We have a common vision: the social and national importance of Uruguayan soccer, which could be better organized.

    “We exchanged points of view. I gave him my vision of European football, professionalism and organization, which is what we want there to be in Uruguay.”

    “[I want to] encourage more groups to join professional soccer in Uruguay as the City Group did with Torque.”

    Indeed, it seems Sartori believes that that desired interest in football in his home country is already emerging, as he added: “I know a large number of groups that want to participate in Uruguay, but it is important to determine what conditions of guarantees the AUF can generate.”

    Sunderland are currently seventh in the League One table, outside the play-offs on goal difference and three points off the automatic promotion places, although it remains to be seen whether they will be given the chance to convert that into promotion to the Championship this season.

    All sounding positive.

    Bizarrely though I think their biggest challenge will be getting us out of L1 with this stupid salary cap in place.

    Uruguayan River Plate has nothing to do with the one in Argentina that is the famous one. This is the one in Uruguay (https://cariverplate.uy/). It is a much bigger club than Torque Montevideo City, the one Manchester City group bought in our country. River Plate it’s a very nice club in our country, red & white and caracterized to have good youth players. Gus Poyet started his carrer in River Plate for example
