Ex-Sunderland man Micky Gray has hinted that a takeover could go through very soon.

Micky Gray has hinted on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, which was broadcast on TalkSPORT on 27th April, that a takeover bid is close to going through at Sunderland.

Although Gray confirmed he was not part of a bid to own Sunderland, he did suggest that he had information that exciting news was in the pipeline.

When asked about a potential takeover of Sunderland, Gray said: “There’s light at the end of the tunnel. There is going to be a bit of excitement at the club in the next two or three weeks. That’s all I can say about it right now, but I’m quite excited about it.

“It’s a plan, it’s not going to happen over night. It’s something to look forward to.”

Ellis Short has been trying to sell Sunderland for a considerable amount of time now, but has failed to find a buyer to date.

The news that Sunderland could be taken over soon is sure to cause delight at the Stadium of Light though.

Short has been criticised for a lack of investment, as Sunderland have slipped all the way down to League One.

The Black Cats are in urgent need of leadership now, and it seems that they could finally have new ownership in the near future.

If Sunderland’s takeover does go through, current boss Chris Coleman is expected to remain in charge, despite their relegation into League One.
