Sugar Daddy & Sunderland..

Just been thinking, Do Sunderland have a Sugar Daddy? Like a Underwriter or Background? I see they are very rich on FM and just thought i'd ask in here.

10.3 Patch btw.

Thanks,

Yeah they do have one, its some texan guy, i think its down as a Background Sugar Daddy.... could be wrong on which one though.

Yeah Ellis Short. But didn't know if this was put into the game in some shape or form, thanks for the fast answer though.

No worries, im a Newcastle fan, i always like to keep an eye on the enemy lol

Actually there is no current club in the game that has any sugar daddy.

Chelsea - Wants to be financially independent from Big Boss

Man City - Not going to splash the cash anymore unless its like for a stadium

Notts County - Cash just isn't going into the club

Hoffenheim - Did what he wanted (Stadium, facilities, etc.) doesn't splash the cash anymore either

At least this is in the 10.3 patch. The board still injects money into many clubs. When there are takeovers or if the chairman/board members or w/e have resources. But its not big cash like in the past anymore. Again, biggest splash of cash will be with a takeover and even then its unlikely and if they do its only for one transfer window.

Sunderland is financially stable. The owner doesn't have as much money as Man City nor Chelsea. Owners are increasingly reluctant to invest megabucks in clubs after the initial splash now.

Which is kind of funny because before the idea was to get rich owners to invest (which bankrupt or milk the club). IE: Man U, Liverpool, Portsmouth (now) all going down the tubes financially cause they are milked.

Then you have just plain overspending like Portsmouth, West Ham. And bad spending like Newcastle.

Now clubs are adopting the Spurs and Aston Villa model. More so Spurs as they are increasingly profitable while Aston Villa is tightening the belt.

Spurs profitable is the best example of a well run club. All the money that club has if from the club itself. Great support, not even in europe and still in the top 20 revenue, building new stadium in a financially sound way. While still being able willing to have domestic talent and some big cash signing who can be sold for even more money (IE: Luka Modric).

EDIT: These new owners tend to know how to manage money and want to make money and not lose it. Which means they know when to inject money and when not to. Wise money is actually helping the English game.
