Sunderland 'Til I Die

New owner Stewart Donald and director Charlie Methven begin the arduous task of bringing the club out of financial ruin while succeeding on the field.

Stewart’s frustrations with agents mount during the club’s contract negotiations with key players, including young goal-scoring leader Josh Maja.

Amid concerns about the front office culture, Charlie puts an aggressive marketing plan in place to draw the largest crowd in third division history.

In need of a striker to bolster the club's promotion bid, Stewart races against time to sign a key player by the January transfer deadline.

The team's run to a trophy final at Wembley Stadium brings pride and excitement to the long-suffering fans, who travel in huge numbers to London.

A singular focus on promotion consumes the players, management and fans, who don't want to endure another season in League One.
