# Sunderland: Fans delighted by Tom Sloanes exit

**Sunderland fans have been reacting to the news that Tom Sloanes has resigned from the club’s Board of Directors with immediate effect.**

The Black Cats suffered heartbreak last term. They appeared to be on the verge of automatic promotion to the Championship, but a poor run of form saw them drop into the play-offs instead. There, they lost to Lincoln City in the semi-finals, and their hopes were therefore over.

Sunderland will be aiming to go up again this year. There has been a lot of change at the club recently, in particular with Kyril Louis-Dreyfus replacing Stewart Donald as the club’s owner. There has now been another exit, as well, with the club confirming Sloanes has left his role at the Stadium of Light ([safc.com](https://safc.com/news/club-news/2021/june/tom-sloanes-leaves-sunderland-afc)).
