Derby take the lead. 11 00:00:56,890 --> 00:00:59,309 An expected threat with the players that they have. 12 00:01:10,403 --> 00:01:13,490 Being a keeper, if a goal's gone in, you've gotta get on with it. 13 00:01:14,532 --> 00:01:18,036 You've just gotta come back stronger. Try and turn it round. 14 00:02:26,646 --> 00:02:28,022 Was that a handball? 15 00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:30,900 -It was! -Penalty 16 00:02:33,987 --> 00:02:37,073 Derby disputes it, but the decision is made. 17 00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:42,495 A penalty, you should score. 18 00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:46,166 I think a penalty, you should definitely score. 19 00:02:46,708 --> 00:02:50,128 It's probably the best chance that you're gonna get to score. 20 00:02:51,087 --> 00:02:52,380 That's how I think about it. 21 00:02:52,463 --> 00:02:55,383 Because I've already put myself forward to take it. 22 00:02:56,759 --> 00:02:59,554 Not that anyone has, but I've got no intention of missing it. 23 00:02:59,762 --> 00:03:01,347 That's Lewis Grabban. 24 00:03:02,098 --> 00:03:04,642 Can he beat Scott Carson? 25 00:04:34,524 --> 00:04:36,818 Yes is the answer! 26 00:04:36,901 --> 00:04:38,695 And Sunderland on the board! 27 00:04:40,029 --> 00:04:43,032 And they will certainly feel that's much more reflective 28 00:04:43,116 --> 00:04:44,701 of what they've put into this. 29 00:04:44,784 --> 00:04:48,079 But amidst adversity and the questioning of their character, 30 00:04:48,538 --> 00:04:52,125 Simon Grayson's side have certainly come up with an answer. 31 00:04:52,208 --> 00:04:54,419 We are Sunderland! We are Sunderland! 32 00:04:59,507 --> 00:05:01,634 It's great for Sunderland and Simon Grayson 33 00:05:01,718 --> 00:05:03,136 that people write them off. 34 00:05:03,219 --> 00:05:04,595 The pressure isn't there. 35 00:05:04,679 --> 00:05:07,682 They've got the opportunity now to go and show how good they'll be. 36 00:05:10,393 --> 00:05:12,937 Sunderland!

That's 3-0! 42 00:05:29,579 --> 00:05:31,247 Lewis Grabban scores! 43 00:05:31,497 --> 00:05:33,916 That should solve the points for Sunderland. 44 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,045 Given their supporters so much to be hopeful about. 45 00:05:37,128 --> 00:05:39,630 So it may be a brand new Sunderland. 46 00:05:54,062 --> 00:05:55,396 You have. 47 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,689 Come on.

That's better, then I can sign today straight after the medical. 108 00:09:38,119 --> 00:09:39,161 Exactly. 109 00:09:40,413 --> 00:09:42,164 That's it.

No pressure. -I hope so. 114 00:09:55,469 --> 00:09:58,389 When I first came to the club, we didn't have a goalkeeper. 115 00:09:58,472 --> 00:10:02,268 We signed Jason Steele, but we needed that competition for players. 116 00:10:02,351 --> 00:10:04,895 We needed two goalkeepers to really push each other, 117 00:10:04,979 --> 00:10:06,856 and try and get the number 1 jersey. 118 00:10:06,939 --> 00:10:11,944 So to get him on a free, was a good bit of business we did as a football club. 119 00:10:14,488 --> 00:10:16,574 We must get you a Sunderland shirt. 120 00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:18,200 Yes, you can. 121 00:10:26,792 --> 00:10:29,337 Because of my job, we have to move to another country. 122 00:10:29,712 --> 00:10:31,756 Jade, she has to leave Holland as well. 123 00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:35,343 And she has to leave Holland because she loves me. 124 00:10:35,551 --> 00:10:36,969 I've got respect for her, 125 00:10:37,053 --> 00:10:38,596 and I'm really happy 126 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,641 that she's willing to travel with me to England. 127 00:10:43,434 --> 00:10:46,354 And my son is going to be four months and... 128 00:10:46,687 --> 00:10:49,106 hopefully, he's gonna learn two languages. 129 00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:52,109 Then he will speak better English than his father. 130 00:10:53,444 --> 00:10:54,987 It's not always easy. 131 00:10:55,071 --> 00:10:57,406 My wife, she supports me all the way. 132 00:10:58,157 --> 00:11:01,160 This is my dream, and I have to follow it. 133 00:11:02,036 --> 00:11:03,746 Hopefully, I can show myself down, 134 00:11:03,829 --> 00:11:08,542 and if I do well, I will keep my spot between the sticks. 135 00:11:10,836 --> 00:11:12,171 Good luck. Opposite sides. 136 00:11:13,964 --> 00:11:15,591 Good. Yeah. 137 00:11:16,634 --> 00:11:18,886 Bring that ball. Great stretch. 138 00:11:20,429 --> 00:11:22,973 I've always been the number one at Utrecht. 139 00:11:24,392 --> 00:11:26,977 It's always when you come somewhere new, 140 00:11:28,187 --> 00:11:31,273 you have to compete with someone else for the spot. 141 00:11:31,357 --> 00:11:32,650 Steeley, last one! 142 00:11:34,068 --> 00:11:36,570 Yes! Get that hand up! 143 00:11:36,654 --> 00:11:39,490 That's the life of a goalkeeper. You compete with others. 144 00:11:39,573 --> 00:11:41,075 Nice and sharp. Good. 145 00:11:41,534 --> 00:11:45,371 As a striker, maybe you can play on the right wing or on the left wing. 146 00:11:45,788 --> 00:11:49,458 As a goalkeeper, it's not possible... because there's only one spot. 147 00:11:54,296 --> 00:11:56,590 Two keepers left the club in the summer. 148 00:11:56,674 --> 00:11:59,885 So it was always on the cards that they were gonna sign two. 149 00:12:00,094 --> 00:12:04,390 First time I met him, Robbin was in the changing room before training. 150 00:12:04,473 --> 00:12:08,144 He come in, and we shook hands. Listen, we're here at work, 151 00:12:08,227 --> 00:12:10,187 and it is what it is at the end of the day. 152 00:12:11,147 --> 00:12:14,108 Tough being in the first team. Like I said, it was dog eat dog. 153 00:12:15,401 --> 00:12:19,113 You're constantly getting hit. It's how many times you get back up. 154 00:12:20,239 --> 00:12:22,241 The last man standing wins, don't he? 155 00:12:24,869 --> 00:12:27,246 We always knew the new players who were gonna come in 156 00:12:27,329 --> 00:12:30,624 were gonna give the other players a kick on the backside and say, 157 00:12:30,708 --> 00:12:34,587 "We're here now to make this team better, and we'll take maybe your places." 158 00:12:34,670 --> 00:12:36,672 The intensity of training has increased, 159 00:12:36,756 --> 00:12:39,425 and hopefully, the proof will be in the pudding 160 00:12:39,508 --> 00:12:41,886 over the next few weeks with a few good results. 161 00:12:55,858 --> 00:13:00,321 Just to find out the very latest news on transfer's ins and outs... 162 00:13:00,404 --> 00:13:02,573 and rumors of what might happen next. 163 00:13:03,115 --> 00:13:07,203 Well, I think it's been made clear right from the start, 164 00:13:07,286 --> 00:13:10,498 right from the word go of Simon Grayson coming in, 165 00:13:10,581 --> 00:13:13,834 that he wasn't gonna have a huge pot of money to spend. 166 00:13:13,918 --> 00:13:17,880 He probably knew it would depend on quite a lot of wheeling and dealing, 167 00:13:17,963 --> 00:13:19,799 but it doesn't seem to be... 168 00:13:20,257 --> 00:13:24,053 There isn't a great deal of news about too much at the moment, is there? 169 00:13:25,054 --> 00:13:28,974 Ultimately, football these days is about money. 170 00:13:29,058 --> 00:13:31,560 Players are hard to come by. They are expensive. 171 00:13:32,436 --> 00:13:34,522 In terms of financial pragmatism of the club, 172 00:13:34,605 --> 00:13:36,816 there's been a number of mistakes in the past. 173 00:13:36,899 --> 00:13:38,901 Over the last five or six years, 174 00:13:39,568 --> 00:13:45,533 the club spent somewhere in the region of £343 million in transfer... 175 00:13:46,534 --> 00:13:50,371 and only recouped... I think the net spend is about 198. 176 00:13:50,454 --> 00:13:52,456 That's a colossal amount of money. 177 00:13:56,544 --> 00:13:58,379 I'm realistic enough to know 178 00:13:58,462 --> 00:14:01,507 that the club needs investment in the squad. 179 00:14:02,299 --> 00:14:06,804 So, I'm looking at a couple of young lads that aren't even 20 yet to come in. 180 00:14:10,724 --> 00:14:13,227 Up till January of last year, 181 00:14:13,811 --> 00:14:15,855 the club's last 40 signings... 182 00:14:16,897 --> 00:14:20,234 only three have yielded a profit for the club. 183 00:14:20,651 --> 00:14:24,697 So, what I'm suggesting or advocating is that... 184 00:14:25,906 --> 00:14:29,785 and this may seem fanciful, 75% of the first team pool... 185 00:14:30,411 --> 00:14:32,121 should be under 25. 186 00:14:32,371 --> 00:14:34,999 That would leave a manager with the potential 187 00:14:35,082 --> 00:14:38,794 to play six players in his starting 11, who are over 25. 188 00:14:38,878 --> 00:14:40,588 So any manager canny say, 189 00:14:40,671 --> 00:14:44,466 "You're asking me to win the league with kids?" They become assets. 190 00:14:45,342 --> 00:14:47,636 We're testing our best young talents, 191 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,723 rather than playing with players who get us better results, 192 00:14:50,848 --> 00:14:52,641 but no end product for the club. 193 00:14:54,393 --> 00:14:56,812 I think the only question marks you would have... 194 00:14:58,522 --> 00:15:02,902 if they can meet the challenge without embarrassing us too much. 195 00:15:03,527 --> 00:15:05,738 I think it would be healthier for the club, 196 00:15:05,821 --> 00:15:08,574 healthier for the young players, and cheaper. 197 00:15:10,534 --> 00:15:13,162 I suppose we just really need to speak to Simon. 198 00:15:14,747 --> 00:15:16,957 Tell him because... I don't mean "tell him." 199 00:15:17,917 --> 00:15:21,045 We're gonna have to be resolute in it. 200 00:15:22,296 --> 00:15:23,505 Easy for me to say. 201 00:15:26,216 --> 00:15:29,261 Relegation last season was horrendous for the football club. 202 00:15:29,845 --> 00:15:33,140 Ultimately, if you go out of the Premier League go into the Championship, 203 00:15:33,223 --> 00:15:38,312 you go from 100 million in TV revenue to 40 million in TV revenue. 204 00:15:38,395 --> 00:15:44,068 So, the business has a cataclysmic shift, which is really hard to contend with. 205 00:15:46,111 --> 00:15:48,614 It's really just an attempt to... 206 00:15:49,531 --> 00:15:52,159 change the way we've been recruiting players. 207 00:15:52,826 --> 00:15:57,748 And there is an opportunity for us to recoup, as a club, 208 00:15:57,831 --> 00:16:01,251 a value on some of these players at that age group. 209 00:16:01,335 --> 00:16:04,421 We can try and do that, and if we look at the team at Preston, 210 00:16:04,505 --> 00:16:07,216 the average age of that team is about 22, 23. 211 00:16:07,299 --> 00:16:09,843 We've bought players for 20 grand, 50 grand. 212 00:16:10,135 --> 00:16:13,639 I knew I wasn't coming into a club that had everything going 213 00:16:13,722 --> 00:16:15,975 in the right direction, in a real positive manner. 214 00:16:16,058 --> 00:16:19,395 I knew there were gonna be hurdles, previously, along the way, 215 00:16:19,478 --> 00:16:21,355 because it's a rebuilding situation. 216 00:16:21,897 --> 00:16:26,068 Martin was one of the people who put his neck on the line by employing me, 217 00:16:26,151 --> 00:16:29,029 and ultimately, they're the people who make the decisions, 218 00:16:29,113 --> 00:16:31,824 and they're the people you do need a relationship with. 219 00:16:31,907 --> 00:16:35,494 We are gonna give an opportunity and pathway to our younger players. 220 00:16:35,577 --> 00:16:37,955 And hopefully, we will get the benefit of that. 221 00:16:45,379 --> 00:16:47,464 Obviously, I think the Academy is really good. 222 00:16:47,548 --> 00:16:52,886 I think we've got an unbelievable Academy. I just think it's such a big weapon. 223 00:16:55,556 --> 00:16:56,849 What's this? What's this? 224 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,023 It's nice watching someone else run about. 225 00:17:04,940 --> 00:17:09,570 If we can build up some sort of setup for this to keep happening, then... 226 00:17:09,653 --> 00:17:11,947 you're building the club on a much more sold basis 227 00:17:12,031 --> 00:17:14,783 rather than buying in unknown players 228 00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:17,745 for how ever many million that look good on YouTube. 229 00:17:19,329 --> 00:17:22,082 Look at Jordan last year. He went for 30 mil. 230 00:17:22,541 --> 00:17:25,210 He's been at the club since he was seven. You know? 231 00:17:25,294 --> 00:17:28,088 It's like, he's one of my best mates. 232 00:17:34,386 --> 00:17:36,472 Growing up on the streets with few mates, 233 00:17:36,555 --> 00:17:39,183 all you would do is play football, day in and day out. 234 00:17:39,266 --> 00:17:43,520 I was about six at the time, and there was a young side just training. 235 00:17:44,229 --> 00:17:46,523 And they didn't have a keeper, 236 00:17:46,607 --> 00:17:48,734 so I just went and joined in 'cause I was bored. 237 00:17:49,777 --> 00:17:52,696 That's how I became a goalkeeper... basically. 238 00:17:53,947 --> 00:17:57,159 Sunderland have agreed to sell England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford 239 00:17:57,242 --> 00:17:59,203 to Everton for up to £30 million, 240 00:17:59,286 --> 00:18:01,914 which would make him the third most expensive keeper 241 00:18:01,997 --> 00:18:03,415 in the history of the game. 242 00:18:04,750 --> 00:18:08,337 You get your full first actual contract when you're under nine's. 243 00:18:08,420 --> 00:18:11,381 I got offered one then, and I've never looked back. 244 00:18:12,257 --> 00:18:14,176 We are into a penalty shootout. 245 00:18:14,259 --> 00:18:16,553 Fourth time against Jordan Pickford. 246 00:18:16,637 --> 00:18:19,264 Saved!

It is a tough division. 303 00:25:36,326 --> 00:25:38,161 The squad, at this moment of time, 304 00:25:38,245 --> 00:25:40,539 it's very depleted. 305 00:25:41,957 --> 00:25:46,419 Relying a lot on youth players. It shouldn't be just youth players. 306 00:25:48,547 --> 00:25:50,590 The biggest deals of the day so far, 307 00:25:50,674 --> 00:25:55,178 Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain going to Liverpool for £35 million from Arsenal. 308 00:25:55,262 --> 00:25:59,724 Spurs have signed Serge Aurier, as well for £23 million. 309 00:26:00,934 --> 00:26:02,852 They're gonna need help from the bench. 310 00:26:02,936 --> 00:26:05,063 There will games where they will tire out. 311 00:26:05,146 --> 00:26:07,148 We need someone to bring on to help them out. 312 00:26:07,274 --> 00:26:10,443 And definitely a striker.

You think we make enough of that? 359 00:30:13,061 --> 00:30:14,062 I don't think we do. 360 00:30:14,145 --> 00:30:17,023 Why would a player come here as opposed to somewhere else? 361 00:30:17,106 --> 00:30:20,944 All the clubs are after this similar bunch of players, really. 362 00:30:21,027 --> 00:30:25,615 I think there's a lot of great signs that we're on the right track. 363 00:30:25,698 --> 00:30:28,618 I still think that we have got to be out there more. 364 00:30:28,701 --> 00:30:30,370 Talking more about what we do, 365 00:30:30,453 --> 00:30:33,873 showcasing more about what we do in and around. 366 00:30:34,374 --> 00:30:35,291 No, agreed. 367 00:30:35,625 --> 00:30:39,337 Get in and show your presence.

Then the final thing-- 371 00:30:49,222 --> 00:30:52,141 Why am I looking at Ibrahimovic at the bottom of this list? 372 00:30:53,268 --> 00:30:55,270 Did you find some money from somewhere? 373 00:30:59,023 --> 00:31:05,989 I'm the chief scout in charge of match reports on opposition. 374 00:31:06,573 --> 00:31:11,327 And sending the scouts out to cover games. 375 00:31:13,580 --> 00:31:15,373 And recruiting.

It isn't the players' fault. 406 00:33:17,036 --> 00:33:20,289 It isn't the manager's fault. It's not even Simon Grayson's fault. 407 00:33:20,373 --> 00:33:21,582 It's Ellis Short. 408 00:33:30,091 --> 00:33:31,801 Ladies and gents, good evening. 409 00:33:32,301 --> 00:33:35,138 Tonight is about an informal gathering. 410 00:33:35,221 --> 00:33:38,599 'Cause many of you have been clients of the football club, 411 00:33:38,683 --> 00:33:40,059 and, obviously, supporters. 412 00:33:40,143 --> 00:33:43,021 I've looked, tonight, at the number of guests 413 00:33:43,104 --> 00:33:46,107 and someone gave me the specific level of spend, who you are, 414 00:33:46,190 --> 00:33:47,942 and what you're companies do. 415 00:33:48,026 --> 00:33:51,571 And I genuinely appreciate it because it is a significant amount of investment. 416 00:33:51,946 --> 00:33:55,450 Just to reiterate what Martin said, we appreciate your support. 417 00:33:55,533 --> 00:33:58,453 And, again, tonight, feel free to ask us whatever you want. 418 00:33:58,786 --> 00:34:01,914 Simple matter is we've got to win football matches. 419 00:34:01,998 --> 00:34:05,918 Without winning football matches, the club will get worse and worse. 420 00:34:06,002 --> 00:34:09,630 I think if a player becomes available that you think you might need, 421 00:34:09,714 --> 00:34:12,050 and not for a lot of money, two or three million, 422 00:34:12,133 --> 00:34:14,052 I think that player should be bought. 423 00:34:14,135 --> 00:34:18,514 That approach of the past is no longer the desire of the owner. 424 00:34:18,931 --> 00:34:21,809 He's not prepared to have a go again, 425 00:34:21,893 --> 00:34:27,148 and quite a large degree of investment into the playing squad. 426 00:34:27,231 --> 00:34:30,651 -That's not what he wants to do. -I think nobody can question 427 00:34:30,735 --> 00:34:33,821 Ellis Short's financial commitment to the club previously. 428 00:34:33,905 --> 00:34:35,531 I think the difficulty is that 429 00:34:36,657 --> 00:34:40,036 the decisions that Ellis Short made is what's wasted that money. 430 00:34:40,119 --> 00:34:43,915 Ultimately, he's now made the decision that's no longer gonna be funded 431 00:34:43,998 --> 00:34:46,459 to the kinda level of what it was previously. 432 00:34:47,585 --> 00:34:49,837 We can't walk away from this football club 433 00:34:49,921 --> 00:34:51,297 because we were born here. 434 00:34:51,380 --> 00:34:53,841 We were bred here.

Frantic activity around the country. 531 00:41:06,881 --> 00:41:09,592 No matter how many times you go through it, 532 00:41:09,717 --> 00:41:12,052 there is always an organized chaos. 533 00:41:12,136 --> 00:41:14,889 ...few minutes of this Deadline Day. 534 00:41:15,848 --> 00:41:19,310 There was a last minute twist where we had a player 535 00:41:19,393 --> 00:41:22,521 who we got contacted to say, "Okay, that might be an opportunity." 536 00:41:23,564 --> 00:41:24,482 Barry, it's me. 537 00:41:24,565 --> 00:41:26,275 Who's with you at Villa? 538 00:41:28,277 --> 00:41:30,905 I've made no secret that Ross McCormack is a player 539 00:41:30,988 --> 00:41:32,823 that I've liked, I had at Leeds. 540 00:41:32,907 --> 00:41:35,493 We would like to sign him for this football club. 541 00:41:35,576 --> 00:41:37,745 He's got the experience, he's a goal scorer, 542 00:41:37,828 --> 00:41:40,623 and he'll bring different type of qualities to the squad 543 00:41:40,706 --> 00:41:42,416 that we haven't got at this time. 544 00:41:42,500 --> 00:41:43,751 Great strength from Ayew 545 00:41:43,834 --> 00:41:46,504 darting at the heart of the Forest defense. McCormack! 546 00:41:48,964 --> 00:41:51,634 That's what Aston Villa have been waiting for. 547 00:41:51,717 --> 00:41:55,095 Ross McCormack gets his goal in front of the whole ten. 548 00:41:55,179 --> 00:41:56,430 Villa 1, Forest 1. 549 00:41:56,514 --> 00:41:59,141 Ask him for his email, so I can send a loan agreement. 550 00:41:59,225 --> 00:42:02,061 If I don't get it signed in two minutes, it won't happen. 551 00:42:02,144 --> 00:42:04,647 I'm sending this over to you just now, okay? 552 00:42:05,397 --> 00:42:08,526 Know what you're witnessing? Another signing taking place. 553 00:42:08,609 --> 00:42:09,944 Thirteen minutes to go. 554 00:42:10,027 --> 00:42:12,196 That's how I was instigated before the deadline. 555 00:42:13,113 --> 00:42:16,575 His agent rang and said, "There's a deal to be done with Aston Villa." 556 00:42:16,659 --> 00:42:19,036 And then it was basically hell for leather. 557 00:42:19,119 --> 00:42:22,623 Speaking to them, speaking to Chief Exec, speak to the agent. 558 00:42:39,056 --> 00:42:40,599 Okay, all right. Cheers. 559 00:42:42,518 --> 00:42:43,519 Fucking hell. 560 00:42:45,354 --> 00:42:46,897 Kill the camera for this part. 561 00:42:55,030 --> 00:42:58,826 The club desperately needed a striker. I completely get that. 562 00:42:59,285 --> 00:43:01,787 And when it came to the transfer, 563 00:43:01,870 --> 00:43:04,123 the financial terms were completely different 564 00:43:04,206 --> 00:43:05,749 from Villa's perspective. 565 00:43:05,833 --> 00:43:08,711 And the wrong thing to do in a transfer window is... 566 00:43:09,253 --> 00:43:13,465 jump in, and commit to lot of money, and plug the gaps 567 00:43:13,549 --> 00:43:16,010 in a way the club has done for a number of years. 568 00:43:16,093 --> 00:43:20,681 It's sticking plasters to solve problems. Don't go out and splash cash. 569 00:43:23,100 --> 00:43:24,602 It's not the thing to do. 570 00:43:27,438 --> 00:43:30,065 Five minutes after that, Martin comes in and... 571 00:43:30,357 --> 00:43:32,651 and tells me the news that I didn't want to hear. 572 00:43:33,777 --> 00:43:36,530 -Transfer window over. -Done. Done and dusted. 573 00:43:37,740 --> 00:43:39,116 Thank you. 574 00:43:41,785 --> 00:43:43,078 It's been a long day. 575 00:43:43,787 --> 00:43:47,124 A long two days. In fact, it's been a long summer. 576 00:43:48,417 --> 00:43:51,045 But I think we're pleased with what we've brought in. 577 00:43:52,671 --> 00:43:54,923 When somebody like Ross comes available, 578 00:43:55,007 --> 00:43:57,134 who has signed for Fulham for £12 million, 579 00:43:57,217 --> 00:43:58,927 recognized striker scores, 580 00:43:59,011 --> 00:44:00,929 then you get them over the line. 581 00:44:03,432 --> 00:44:05,559 I know it's difficult for people to understand, 582 00:44:05,684 --> 00:44:09,313 but I was brought in to restructure, to rebuild. 583 00:44:09,730 --> 00:44:12,066 We just need to win on the pitch. 584 00:44:13,317 --> 00:44:18,405 I've not been able to bring in players that maybe Sunderland supporters expected. 585 00:44:18,989 --> 00:44:22,409 Did I agree with it? No. But that's just my opinion. 586 00:44:53,190 --> 00:44:55,192 Subtitle Translation by:
