Aiden McGeady has been appointed vice-captain but in an intriguing development, club captains Bailey Wright and Luke O’Nien have joined Lynden Gooch and Tom Flanagan to complete the senior team’s new leadership group.

Corry Evans named as Sunderland captain with several players handed new leadersh...

@twangmackem: A leadership group. I quite like the sound of this

@VivaLaLads: Walk into the changing room and it'll be like the captain Morgan advert, Captain, Captain, Captain, Captain, Captain.

@GilesMooney: We have more captains than full backs.

@GregAndsn: Good moves, here. Respected player to lead on pitch, Wright clearly staying put alongside O'Nien as Club Captains. Mind, there may not be universal love for Luke's new role.

@CackStottie: I like this approach. Looks like Bailey Wright is going nowhere too.

@joehay_: Seems like there's communication linking this leadership group with the board. That's canny like. Keeps everyone in the loop.

@JacobKirkbride: Don’t normally agree with new signings getting made captain straight away but look what happened with Lorik Cana.
