# Sunderland: Fans rage at Stewart Donald news

**Sunderland owner Stewart Donald has [reportedly](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9044555/AHEAD-GAME-EFLs-pursuit-new-chief-executive-fails-transparency-test.html) told League One bosses that the Black Cats are looking at administration due to losses caused by the current pandemic.**

Donald is far from a popular figure on Wearside. The fans are clearly fed up with the owner, who was one of the “stars” of the second series of Netflix’s Sunderland Til I Die, and they are [desperate](https://www.sunderlandecho.com/news/people/sunderland-afc-fans-hit-back-stewart-donald-2917018) for him to leave the club. There has been plenty of interest in the north-east outfit, with Juan Sartori and Kyril Louis-Dreyfus [closing in](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8946437/Sunderland-owner-agrees-sell-club-consortium-led-22-YEAR-OLD-Kyril-Louis-Dreyfus.html) on the purchase of the club.

Donald, who was against the EFL bail-out package as he believed bigger sides like Sunderland should have had a larger share of the money, has now dropped this bombshell, which has not gone down well at all with the club’s supporters.

They took to social media platform Twitter to share their thoughts.
