“When I met with our Supporters’ Groups earlier this month, they expressed the importance of ensuring that football at the Stadium of Light remains accessible and affordable to all within our community,” he said.
“I agree that we must strive to meet that standard, especially in these economically uncertain times, and support all those that continue to commit to Sunderland AFC throughout good times and bad.
“It is no secret that we have endured a challenging period and that we have an immense amount of work to do, but I firmly believe that we are on the right path to rebuilding our football club and that we can achieve our ultimate goal of promotion this season.”
