    Sunderland AFC today announces that Steve Davison will leave his position of Chief Operating Officer at the end of the 2023-24 season.

    Davison commenced work at SAFC during the Covid-19 pandemic, with the Club residing in League One following back-to-back relegations that had resulted in substantial resourcing cuts.

    There had also been a lack of investment in infrastructure over a lengthy period of time and he has subsequently led a transformative three years for the Club, delivering a range of successful projects.

    This includes securing the women’s team promotion to the FA Women’s Championship, which has provided a springboard for playing success this season.

    Engagement with the main city institutions has also significantly improved, culminating in several new and thriving partnerships.

    This close working relationship has also helped provide the city with a revitalised concert programme and secured major events such as the Lionesses’ homecoming fixture in 2023 and the opening game of the Women’s Rugby World Cup in 2025.

    Davison has led the ongoing modernisation of the Club’s facilities, including the introduction of a cashless stadium, and more recently digital ticketing, as well as the bid to secure 5G funding that will be core to the enhancement of fan experience in future years.

    He has also overseen the planning of multi-million-pound investment programmes throughout his tenure, which most recently has focused on the enhancement of the stadium bowl including pitch replacement, floodlighting, PA system and the introduction of rails to allow safe standing.

    Chairman Kyril Louis-Dreyfus said: “On behalf of our Board of Directors and staff, I would like to thank Steve for his commitment and dedication throughout the past three years. Integrity and professionalism have been at the forefront of his leadership and although we have collectively faced challenges along the way, his contribution ensures that he departs with the Club ready to progress to the next level. Steve and his family will always be welcome at the Stadium of Light, and we wish him well in the next chapter of his career.”

    Davison added: “I joined the Club to implement a long-term project to take SAFC from League One back to the Premier League. I am pleased to leave the Club in a much stronger position than when I joined. I wish to thank the Club staff for their support and wish them every success in the future, and I look forward to once again following SAFC as a fan from next season.”

    I wonder if he has been made the fall guy for many of the off field failings this season?

    Would think KLD is just keen on upgrading in key positions. He was what we could attract with terrible owners in a **** league. Hopefully we can upgrade.

    After the game, a very well known supported brushed past security sat between SD and KS and told them both to get the **** out of our club, said they were parasites and should leave NOW.
    NOW I DO NOT CONDONE football aggressive behaviour but they had it coming.
    1 guy had a go outside with KS but a security guy stopped it.
    I was in the main entrance when it happen, the guy just picked the wrong place.

    How is he being hung out to dry? He's leaving and they have delivered a statement that praises his work in some detail and credits him for the progress the club has made.

    This place is just getting ****ing weird with the things we are criticising and the bizarre reasons we are attributing the criticism to.

    It's baffling at this point.

    Sorry, the club are both hanging him out to dry and lying in their effusive praise for his work here?

    In one statement?
