It’s been another big week on Wearside.
After taking over the club on 21 May, Stewart Donald declared he would have a new manager in place within seven days – and he followed up on his promise.
Jack Ross was appointed one week ago, and he arrived at the Stadium of Light on Thursday for his first official day on the job.
From podcasts to scarf pics, check out how a busy day unfolded below…
11:00: Jack Ross arrives on Wearside for his first day at work, and it didn’t take long for the new Sunderland manager to bump into the some of the red and white army. The group Ross met had just renewed their season cards and picked their seat, and the boss would soon do the same.
11.30: Ross is given a guided tour of the Stadium of Light. We all remember our first visit to fortress Wearside, and Scot was impressed, declaring, ‘it’s alright isn’t it’, after walking out of the tunnel for the first time. The smile told you it was more than alright.
