Haway The Podcast | A New COO at Sunderland?! | What Does It Mean for the Club?

With the week winding down, we look at more off-field stuff at Sunderland!

· 190 words

There's plenty going on around Sunderland at the moment, and Gav, James and Jonny are getting stuck into some of the biggest talking points.

One particularly interesting development is the arrival of a new Chief Operating Officer, who is already in post and working at the club. His appointment was reported by FC Business more than a month ago, but it hasn't been formally announced by Sunderland – so what does the arrival of a COO mean for the club and its future direction?

🔴 Tom Burwell's departure and what comes next

⚪ Kyril Louis-Dreyfus becoming Executive Chairman – what does the change mean?

🔴 The continued rumours surrounding a potential sale of the club

⚪ Luke O'Nien's appearance for the U21s – can we read anything into it?

🔴 Which Sunderland players may have benefited from the extended international break?

⚪ And what might Regis Le Bris have to say about Brian Brobbey and Dan Ballard when he meets the media?

After three weeks without Sunderland, there's finally plenty to talk about again!
