Premise:
Graham Potter returns to football to take on, the mess that is, Sunderland AFC. With a few purchases and some player focussed training, he believes he can keep Sunderland in the top half and push for the play offs.

Season 1: July to January
Very successful start, a fast possession based tactic with emphasis on using wingers and overlapping full backs to stretch teams and maximising the skills of Roberts, Diallo and Clarke to draw defenders out of postition to play in the lethal Gelhardt and Stewart.
Sunderland quickly become strong contender for promotion. They rise to the summit on a couple of occasions before an indifferent spell in November and December leads them to drop to sixth at the turn of the year.
