Gus Poyet has issued a warning to Sunderland regarding next season as we enter the Championship. He says that we should be careful but he also gives plaudits to Alex Neil for the job he has done so far.
DELIGHTED
“I'm delighted that Sunderland are back in the Championship, but they need to make sure that they don't go crazy by expecting to reach the Premier League. Alex Neil was outstanding and done so well.”
BIG GAP
"There's a big gap between League One and the Championship and so they need to make sure that they know their objectives. Sunderland need to be realistic and just focus on staying up, then they can re-evaluate and aim for certain things.”
WARNING
"Sunderland can't afford to be unrealistic because there are so many strong teams in the Championship.”
