the ownership
00:00
sort of quite well
00:01
what's your sense
00:03
on how they're going
00:04
to approach
00:04
the Premier League
00:05
do you think
00:05
they will change
00:06
the way they do things
00:07
or do you think
00:07
they're going to
00:08
double down
00:08
more young players
00:09
more young talent
00:11
develop them
00:11
what's your feeling
00:12
I think they're going
00:13
to try to find
00:15
key players
00:16
very very specific
00:17
key players
00:18
probably
00:20
there will be
00:21
mostly
00:23
there is exception
00:24
but they're going
00:25
to be
00:25
Belgium
00:27
France
00:29
Switzerland
00:29
a little bit
00:30
maybe Germany
00:31
I think that's
00:32
the characteristic
00:32
of the players
00:33
that they've been
00:33
using the most
00:34
and they've been
00:35
working
00:35
obviously
00:37
there is a help
00:39
of the coach
00:39
that he knows
00:40
those leagues
00:40
very well as well
00:41
and then
00:44
it will depend
00:45
on what they need
00:45
you know
00:46
because
00:46
you know
00:48
when you go
00:49
from the
00:49
Championship
00:50
to the Premiership
00:51
again
00:53
there is a different
00:54
way of trying
00:54
to stay up
00:55
I remember
00:57
a few years back
00:58
a few years
00:59
years
00:59
probably 10
01:00
years
01:00
or 8
01:00
years
01:00
Fulham
01:01
spent like
01:02
100 million
01:03
and they went
01:04
down
01:04
and they went
01:04
down
01:05
so you know
01:06
that's not the
01:07
point
01:07
the point is
01:08
to spend
01:10
right
01:10
and to get
01:11
the right
01:12
one
01:12
the most
01:13
difficult
01:13
for Sunderland
01:13
for me
01:14
is that
01:16
you know
01:17
in a
01:17
Championship
01:18
team
01:18
you would like
01:20
to think
01:21
that maybe
01:21
half of the
01:22
team
01:22
can start
01:23
next year
01:23
in the
01:24
Premier League
01:24
but you're
01:26
losing two
01:27
or three
01:27
players
01:27
okay
01:28
they are
01:30
the ones
01:31
that maybe
01:31
they can
01:31
start
01:32
next year
01:32
so now
01:34
now maybe
01:35
you go
01:36
without respect
01:37
to the
01:37
players
01:37
you know
01:38
three
01:39
or four
01:40
so you
01:40
need to
01:41
recruit
01:41
well
01:42
and I'm
01:44
trying to be
01:44
honest because
01:45
I love the
01:46
players and I
01:46
want them to
01:47
do well
01:47
and if
01:48
no you
01:48
can ask
01:49
the last
01:49
two years
01:51
the three
01:51
teams that
01:52
they went
01:52
up
01:52
yeah
01:53
look I
01:55
watched
01:55
live
01:56
Burnley
01:58
two years
01:59
ago
01:59
three years
01:59
ago
01:59
with
02:00
in the
02:01
Championship
02:01
and they
02:02
were outstanding
02:02
and they
02:04
went up
02:04
and they
02:05
spent
02:05
and they
02:06
went down
02:06
okay
02:08
the same
02:09
we can talk
02:09
about last
02:10
year of
02:11
of
02:12
Ipswich
02:12
or you
02:13
know
02:13
teams that
02:14
they went
02:14
up playing
02:15
an incredible
02:15
football
02:16
of how
02:17
people was
02:18
talking about
02:19
Russell and
02:20
Southampton
02:20
and blah blah
02:21
blah and
02:21
Leicester
02:22
they were
02:23
magnificent
02:24
and they
02:25
went down
02:25
badly
02:26
I mean the
02:27
points that
02:27
they made
02:27
in the
02:28
Premiership
02:28
is really
02:29
bad
02:29
I mean
02:30
really bad
02:31
remember my
02:33
year at
02:33
Zandala
02:33
we got
02:35
saved at
02:35
the end
02:35
with 38
02:36
points
02:36
this year
02:37
you were
02:37
getting
02:38
saved with
02:38
28
02:39
I mean
02:39
it's
02:40
really bad
02:40
so I
02:41
think that
02:42
the most
02:43
important thing
02:43
is to
02:44
analyze
02:44
properly
02:45
what
02:45
happened
02:46
to those
02:46
six teams
02:47
that they
02:49
went up
02:49
and down
02:49
in two
02:50
seasons
02:50
you know
02:51
and with
02:52
your own
02:53
ability
02:53
and with
02:54
your own
02:54
style
02:55
and with
02:56
your own
02:56
idea
02:57
try to
02:58
make sure
02:58
that you
02:59
let's say
03:00
that
03:00
you made
03:02
80% of
03:03
right decisions
03:04
if you go
03:06
50-50
03:06
difficult
03:08
can
03:08
you
03:09
can
03:09
you
03:09
can
03:10
go
03:10
to
03:10
you
03:11
can
