Former Sunderland striker Kevin Kyle has called on Black Cats co-owners Stewart Donald and Charlie Methven to leave the club. According to reports, both Donald and Methven could be on the verge of leaving the Stadium of Light in the coming weeks after reportedly accepting a bid to sell their shares, though this will require EFL approval.
Donald currently owns a 34 per cent stake in Sunderland, while Methven has just a five per cent share. New owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus is the majority shareholder at 41 per cent, while Juan Sartori owns the final 20 per cent.
And Kyle has claimed that Sunderland need to ‘get rid’ of both Donald and Methven as soon as possible, before then calling on supporters to continue to get behind Louis-Dreyfus – the main man at the helm.
