Sunderland director David Jones has this message for Sunderland fans.
David Jones, the non-executive director of Sunderland, has assured supporters that despite recent setbacks, the team can improve.
The Sky Sports host, who grew up loving Sunderland, is currently a non-executive director on the board, serving under co-owners Kyril Louis-Dreyfus and Juan Sartori.
Speaking after watching the third season of the Netflix documentary series Sunderland Til I Die, Jones did, however, acknowledge the mistakes the team has made recently and promised that moving forward, the Black Cats will perform better.
Taking to Instagram, Jones said: “Watching the show I was reminded of: what a brilliant job Alex Neil did for us, what a giant role model and servant Luke O’Nien is and Lynden Gooch was for us, how much I loved watching Ross Stewart play for us (I hope he can find his way back to fitness) and how we miss Louise Wanless terribly…”
“But also how vital our fans are, the soul and the heartbeat, how much they have been put through (sometimes because of our mistakes) and how all of us serving the club have to do more, so much more, to get this club back to where it belongs, because we are not there yet. And we need to take our fans on the journey. There has to be another chapter.”
Following a disappointing loss to Huddersfield Town in their most recent league match, Michael Beale’s team will play Tony Mowbray’s Birmingham City in the Championship.
