da pinup bet： Sunderland currently find themselves in 6th position in the Premier League only four points off Champions League qualification. It may only be half way through the season but it must be said that the Wearside club have done extremely well so far this season.
da cassino： So what is it that makes Sunderland deserving of their current league position? Well there are obviously numerous factors that contribute to their success so far this season. Firstly, I think it is only fair that attention is drawn to club chairman Niall Quinn. Mr Quinn has stood by his manager Steve Bruce in times when many other people in his position would have been quick to act negatively. In Bruce’s first season at Sunderland, despite a run of fourteen games without a win, Bruce led the Black Cats to a thirteenth place finish in the Premier League.
With the help of Quinn, Bruce has been given time and freedom to get the club where they want to be. Bruce has a wealth of experience in English football and this is becoming evident this season. Although an active member of the transfer windows, Bruce seems to have built a young team that have the quality to compete at the correct end of the division, thus giving us another reason for the club’s deserved current league position.
In seasons before it would be fair to say that Sunderland have never really had enough firepower to catapult themselves up the division, however, this season with Darren Bent, Asamoah Gyan and on loan youngster Danny Welbeck they certainly have the players to consistently find the net. Too many times have the club relied on the prowess of the much maligned Darren Bent.
Before we get carried away, it is only half way through the season and it will be interesting to see where the club finishes come the end of the season. Something I must admit though, and that is despite touching upon positive points for the club’s league positioning so far this season, I’m not convinced that they are ready to challenge the top five just yet though, but the foundations are certainly laid.
