Sunderland set out £200m turnover and summer investment plan at fan meeting | OneFootball

Sunderland’s hierarchy used their latest Supporters’ Collective meeting to set out a £200m turnover and global reach, plus plans for a significant summer investment programme. According to Sunderland Echo, the update followed Regis Le Bris guiding the club to seventh and the Europa League on their Premier League return.

The ownership group, including Kyril Louis-Dreyfus and Juan Sartori, outlined a programme with Delaware and said business and football operations would be prudently scaled this summer, while maintaining ties with the local community.

Stadium work will see hospitality boxes refitted and any 30-year-old areas refurbished. Fan experience upgrades are planned, including an expansion of safe standing, eye-catching entry enhancements and significant academy investment. LED systems are to be improved to boost revenue and matchday experience.

The mid-May meeting was attended by interim chief executive Tom Burwell, director of football Florent Ghisolfi and staff members Paul Kingsmore, Georgi Rusev, Steve Wood, Emily Jewitt and Chris Waters.

Minutes added that recent organisational changes were strategic, not reactive, and framed around what a successful Sunderland looks like in the Premier League rather than the EFL. Fan groups present included the Branch Liaison Council, Red and White Army, the Senior Supporters Association and individual supporters.
