Sunderland were taken over by Stewart Donald and Executive Director Charlie Methven earlier this year and their tenure so far has seen a successful three-month period on the pitch.
Off the field, Donald and Methven have been working tirelessly to repair the damage caused by the previous hierarchy on Wearside, while also assessing how the club can progress commercially in the coming years.
