He makes a few good points to be fair. The key for me is how the money is now reinvested in the case of both clubs.

Imagine- we spend the £45m well, win the League/FA Cup, and finish 7/8th. That'd more than justify the sales methinks. All hypothetical though and, as with NUFC, all depends on the ambition of the boardrooms to reinvest the sales cash in strengthening the squads.
 
**** me. Anyone know a good lawyer? Brian McNally has plagiarised my posts and tried to pass them off as his own. Lol


I couldn't have written it any better and makes ALL my points I have been trying to make on a professional and national level. Completely agree 100% with Mr McNally.
 
its an interesting read but i dont fully agree with it tbh, this is my take on things from a Sunderland Perspective (it may be complete bollocks but its still my impression of everything thats going on), i have just coppied this from another thread btw.

Keane bought far too many fringe players, that just never lived up to any standards if we are honest about it, Bruce came in and had to try to shift those on, We are 25 million in profit now from when Bruce was appointed (with the henderson sale) so Short hasnt exactly bankrolled him (even stoke have spent 70 million in 3 years), he has had to sell to buy, and he had to sell 3-4 to buy 1 which = a smaller squad but a lot better first team.

Now the 1st team got crocked big time, is that ALL Bruces fault, every injury i mean, No, are some his fault, probably, but virtually our entire first team was out for long periods of time last season, only the top 4 could hope to cope with that.

We got 5 loan deals last season, is that Bruces fault or Shorts for not spending the cash to buy similar instead of loans?

Now because of the loans, and the fact a lot of our players are still injured or just injury prone, he has to get a bigger squad to cope, so that means doing the oposite from what he had to do when he took over, sell a player or 2 at a huge profit (Henderson for 20 million) and try to bring in 3-4 squad players, who have experience and can fill holes or even push for 1st team slots.

Whether we will get 1 or 2 marque signings is up to Short, he holds the money, but if we dont, i bet bruce gets all the flack.
