Sunderland EXCLUSIVE: Jack Ross still the man to get Black Cats promoted, insists owner Stewart Donald

Charlton came up trumps at Wembley as Sunderland prepare for another season in League One

The victory has cast doubt on Donalds ownership, having vowed to help Sunderland back to the second tier when he purchased the Wearside club from Ellis Short in May 2018.It has also put a big question mark over the future of manager Jack Ross, who has faced criticism for failing to secure promotion with the leagues biggest transfer budget.But in an exclusive interview with talkSPORT, Donald has insisted neither he nor Ross are going anywhere.Speaking to talkSPORT host Jim White after Sundays play-off defeat, the Black Cats chief said: Its absolutely galling to not have delivered for the fans.“Thats twice weve been to Wembley this season and twice we havent delivered for the fans, Im absolutely gutted. This is a killer.getty3

Lee Cattermole looks on as Charlton celebrate their play-off final win

I will be here [next season]. I might sell some of my investment, but I dont know yet.But what can you do? Youve just got to go again.Financially we dont need to let the club go, were safe enough, but if we really need to get back up to the Premier League we need some investment.So Ill have a think about that over the next few days and have a look at the options in front of us.The bottom line is, off the field the club is safe. From where the club was 12 months ago, financially were secure so we havent got to rush into anything. It appears that needed investment may be on the way, after US investor Mark Campbell was spotted at Wembley alongside Donald.The Sunderland chief said business with the American is a real possibility, but also revealed he wasnt the only potential investor at the match.I think there are four or five people who have tabled options to us that are here today, hes one of them, he said on Sunday.He [Campbell] is a good guy and he might be someone we get involved. Hes one of four or five options weve got, but nothing is done.I need to sit down and analyse the next few weeks and see what options are going to be best for the club.GETTY3

Jack Ross was appointed Sunderland manager by Donald when he took over the club in May 2018

Asked about Ross future in the Stadium of Light hotseat, Donald insisted he is the right man to take the club up next season.Jack is as gutted as we all are, he added. But if youre asking me is Jack Ross going to be here next season, then yes he is, from my perspective.It was a big job on his hands. If you play football manager youre going to say, its the biggest budget, its Sunderland, you should go up. But it isnt like that and Jack has had a lot to contend with.Hes been thrown in at the deep end and weve done alright. Next year we definitely want to go up and I think Jack can deliver that for us.
