Finally, in February 2022, former Norwich coach Alex Neil took over the club. Holding his hand, they got 5th place in League One. In the semi-finals of the play-offs, Sheffield beat Wycombe 2-1 aggregate to advance to the final at Wembley. Sunderland finally got the coveted promotion with a 2-0 win over Wycombe at Wembley. In the coming season, one of the richest teams in the history of England will definitely try hard to secure their place in the championship. |
I am happy for Sunderland though but I was rooting for Wycombe in the final match. And my love for Akinfenwa was one reason why I wanted them to win; it would've made him so proud and satisfied if they got promoted because this seems to be last season, he's done with pro football .
But well, the best team won and it's all good 👍
Thanks for going through my post.
It's a pleasure. It was an interesting read..
Thanks
I have a few friends that are lifelong Sunderland supporters and have been really devastated over the past couple of years. Although I don't really follow the sport I am happy to see that the rebuild appears to be a success!
