Financially. Sorry, should have made that clear. I've always said Brum are well managed at board level. Whether or not Bruce is a good manager is a different matter. But they have the ability to buy and mould a team taht (on paper) should get them straight back up. Those other teams may lack quality (compared to what mind you?), but essentially the Sunderland team is the same one that walked the Championship 2 season ago. What my main point is, I really do not hold up ANY hope for this season, and that is a sad situation for me as I am an eternal optimist!!! (Believe it or not!) but I just cannot see us getting anywhere near promotion this season. I sincerely and honestly hope I am completely wrong, but my gut feeling is that we are about to become the new Wolves!
