Not slow. Not wanting to take the piss out of the manager who has his hands tied behind his back.
sounds good apart from point 5 which doesn't ring trueTo be fair I'm no happy clapper but I'm no pissy pants either, I listened to the interview (unlike most who will no doubt comment)
1. He is a positive bloke who wants to and is happy to be at Sunderland
2. He wants players who like him want to be here and if they don't they are free to go.
3. He wants players in with the same mentality.
4. Some players will go in the next few days/weeks.
5. We have a competitive budget in this league.
6. We will bring players in with the right a work ethic and desire
We can't judge him until the transfer window has shut and the season is under way. He didn't make this mess, he is here to improve on it. After hearing that am pleased he is. Even if he wasn't my first choice as manager, given what he has walked into, I'll certainly give him a chance.

he had nee complaints about his budget when he took the job? Unless you are saying Short has gone back on more promises to a manger?
We were never going to invest the Pickford sale money so apart from we have pretty much broke even so far!
Doh!What
As ever, speaks pragmatic realistic sense. He cannot carry the can for everything that has gone at the club over the last few years
If we spend what we bring in apart from the Pickford money then it is. We just haven't sold players of value yet as clubs will wait til closer to the close of the window trying to pay less. Common sense really if you are looking to purchase from a relagated club!
Does that make the budget competitive? I'd suggest not. In fact, quite the opposite. If we've invested £2m on a number of players it suggests we have nowt to spend
The window isn't shut. We will sell players, I think that's obvious mate. We will not commit to spending money until we know it's coming / come in

I don't understand this logic. Why would we reinvest all monies raised from future potential sales but nothing from the major sale of the summer?
Pathetic you mind!He's simple man!
Nee wonder the fuckers aren't playing for him!
Pathetic you mind!
can we afford - in a playing sense though - to wait until the end of August before buying? If we get the players we want in early they can be bedded in quicker and results improve - arguably also makes us less desperate to sell at the end.
