# Sunderland: Fans love comments from Kyril Louis-Dreyfus

**Sunderland fans are delighted by comments from new owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus after he spoke to the Fan Collective last Wednesday.**

Louis-Dreyfus has been received fantastically after he recently took over the club. That may be largely down to the fact that the man previously in his position, Stewart Donald, was [particularly unpopular](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/sunderland-afc-news/sunderland-black-cats-stewart-donald-administration-lee-johnson/) upon Wearside, but the fact Louis-Dreyfus has access to a trust of $2bn ([The Sunderland Echo](https://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport/football/sunderland-afc/who-kyril-louis-dreyfus-net-worth-billionaire-son-who-has-sealed-sunderland-afc-takeover-3139458)) may be another reason for that.

Last week, he spoke with a fan collective to discuss the future of the Black Cats and answer a number of the supporters’ questions ([via Roker Report](https://rokerreport.sbnation.com/2021/3/29/22356225/minutes-of-fan-group-meeting-with-sunderlands-new-owner-released-heres-what-weve-learned?utm_campaign=rokerreport.sbnation&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter)). He talked about several topics, including the development of the club’s footballing philosophy, as well as the desire to embrace data and technology.
