Sunderland midfielder Luke O’Nien has sent a message to former Black Cats manager Lee Johnson following his sacking earlier this week.
Johnson was relieved of his duties on the back of last Saturday’s humiliating 6-0 defeat at Bolton Wanderers, their heaviest loss in almost seven and a half years, when they were beaten 8-0 by Southampton in the Premier League.
He does, though, leave with the club still in the mix for a place in the automatic promotion places, as Sunderland sit third in the table, just two points adrift of second place Wigan Athletic, who do, however, have three games in hand.
