Sunderland manager David Moyes has come under intense pressure following his side’s poor start to the season.
Under-fire Sunderland manager David Moyes has resorted to taking his players on a tour of the Nissan car factory in an attempt to give them a glimpse of what ‘real life’ is really like, as he looks to resurrect his side’s season, as reported by the Mirror.
The Black Cats are currently rooted to the bottom of the Premier League, after their disastrous start to the season which has seen them draw two and lose eight of their opening 10 league outings.
Next up for the Wearside outfit is a trip to the South Coast to take on Bournemouth on Saturday, and anything other than a win will be deemed as unacceptable by Sunderland fans.

Before that though, Moyes took his players on a day-trip to the local Nissan car factory, in an attempt to allow his players to see how a winning team operate, under the stringent pressure of failure not being an option.
Moyes spoke to the Mirror, and explained how he hopes his side’s visit to the Nissan factory will improve their performances on the pitch:
“It is important the players see what success looks like, in a work sense. I want them to go away and realise how lucky they are. How they have a talent, and not to waste it — hang on and fight for everything you can. For all we have pressure that goes with not doing well, all these boys on the factory-floor would love to be running out there at Bournemouth on Saturday.”

Following Saturday’s trip to the Vitality Stadium, Moyes’ men play host to Hull City at the Stadium of Light. Then comes back-to-back games against Liverpool and last season’s champions Leicester City.
Sunderland surely must be targeting six points from their next two games to help ignite their season, because if they fail to achieve that, the writing really will be on the wall as far as their Premier League status is concerned.
