00:00the ownership
00:00sort of quite well
00:01what's your sense
00:03on how they're going
00:04to approach
00:04the Premier League
00:05do you think
00:05they will change
00:06the way they do things
00:07or do you think
00:07they're going to
00:08double down
00:08more young players
00:09more young talent
00:11develop them
00:11what's your feeling
00:12I think they're going
00:13to try to find
00:15key players
00:16very very specific
00:17key players
00:18probably
00:20there will be
00:21mostly
00:23there is exception
00:24but they're going
00:25to be
00:25Belgium
00:27France
00:29Switzerland
00:29a little bit
00:30maybe Germany
00:31I think that's
00:32the characteristic
00:32of the players
00:33that they've been
00:33using the most
00:34and they've been
00:35working
00:35obviously
00:37there is a help
00:39of the coach
00:39that he knows
00:40those leagues
00:40very well as well
00:41and then
00:44it will depend
00:45on what they need
00:45you know
00:46because
00:46you know
00:48when you go
00:49from the
00:49Championship
00:50to the Premiership
00:51again
00:53there is a different
00:54way of trying
00:54to stay up
00:55I remember
00:57a few years back
00:58a few years
00:59years
00:59probably 10
01:00years
01:00or 8
01:00years
01:00Fulham
01:01spent like
01:02100 million
01:03and they went
01:04down
01:04and they went
01:04down
01:05so you know
01:06that's not the
01:07point
01:07the point is
01:08to spend
01:10right
01:10and to get
01:11the right
01:12one
01:12the most
01:13difficult
01:13for Sunderland
01:13for me
01:14is that
01:16you know
01:17in a
01:17Championship
01:18team
01:18you would like
01:20to think
01:21that maybe
01:21half of the
01:22team
01:22can start
01:23next year
01:23in the
01:24Premier League
01:24but you're
01:26losing two
01:27or three
01:27players
01:27okay
01:28they are
01:30the ones
01:31that maybe
01:31they can
01:31start
01:32next year
01:32so now
01:34now maybe
01:35you go
01:36without respect
01:37to the
01:37players
01:37you know
01:38three
01:39or four
01:40so you
01:40need to
01:41recruit
01:41well
01:42and I'm
01:44trying to be
01:44honest because
01:45I love the
01:46players and I
01:46want them to
01:47do well
01:47and if
01:48no you
01:48can ask
01:49the last
01:49two years
01:51the three
01:51teams that
01:52they went
01:52up
01:52yeah
01:53look I
01:55watched
01:55live
01:56Burnley

01:59three years
01:59ago
01:59with
02:00in the
02:01Championship
02:01and they
02:02were outstanding
02:02and they
02:04went up
02:04and they
02:05spent
02:05and they
02:06went down
02:06okay
02:08the same
02:09we can talk
02:09about last
02:10year of
02:11of
02:12Ipswich
02:12or you
02:13know
02:13teams that
02:14they went
02:14up playing
02:15an incredible
02:15football
02:16of how
02:17people was
02:18talking about
02:19Russell and
02:20Southampton
02:20and blah blah
02:21blah and
02:21Leicester
02:22they were
02:23magnificent
02:24and they
02:25went down
02:25badly
02:26I mean the
02:27points that
02:27they made
02:27in the
02:28Premiership
02:28is really
02:29bad
02:29I mean
02:30really bad
02:31remember my
02:33year at
02:33Zandala
02:33we got
02:35saved at
02:35the end
02:35with 38
02:36points
02:36this year
02:37you were
02:37getting
02:38saved with
02:3828
02:39I mean
02:39it's
02:40really bad
02:40so I
02:41think that
02:42the most
02:43important thing
02:43is to
02:44analyze
02:44properly
02:45what
02:45happened

02:46six teams
