Sunderland’s rise this season has been one of the standout stories in football.
A club that has spent the last decade fighting its way up, is now flying in its first season back in the Premier League.
Tom Burwell, interim CEO, has seen this up close as a board member, but is now stepping up with a club that is building a model that can actually sustain their place in the top flight.
Because @SunderlandAFC isn’t a typical football club… 1 in 10 people in the city holds a season ticket.
And business decisions aren’t just financial, they’re cultural. So now comes the hardest part. Turning a local, community-driven club into a global Premier League business without losing what made it special in the first place.
🗣️ “ The relentless obsession for performance on & off the field has to be our driver”
That shift changes everything:
- How you grow revenue
- How you build a fanbase
- How you approach sponsorship
- How you think about media and storytelling
But more importantly, how do you build a modern football club.

@cjhhhh21 My only reason for before was that once you see that big players can leave the momentum shifts and you become like everyone else. If you had kept Isak you'd probs be in and around the top 5 imo.
