Sunderland fans are all saying the same thing about Tony Mowbray after contract update

Sunderland fans on social media were quick to react to this morning's Tony Mowbray contract news.

The Echo understands that Mowbray is now under contract until the end of next season after triggering an extension, having initially agreed a two-year deal. That will take the head coach to the end of the 2024-25 season.
