Cats owners don’t know about the game – Lewi
Stewart Donald and Charlie Methven don’t “know the first thing about football,” says Lewis Morgan.
Morgan spent six “weird” months on loan at Sunderland, and believes Jack Ross WOULD have got them promoted to the Championship had he not been sacked.
And asked in an interview with ‘Open Goal’ for his view on the club's ownership, and whether he had much interaction with them during his time on Wearside, Morgan said: "Not really.
"When I signed, I met Charlie Methven and to be honest him and the other [Donald] didn't know the first thing about football.
"It was just two businessmen running a football club.
"Their expectations and the squad they'd assembled were totally unrealistic.
"I think if they'd left Jack Ross in charge they'd probably be in the Championship by now.
"He would have turned it round the same way he turned St Mirren round, but the club was just weird when I was down there.
"It was just not the best place to be with the owners and everything going on.
"Charlie Methven - everyone has seen him on that documentary now.
"He wanted it all to be about himself all the time. He didn't know anything about football from when I spoke to him.
"Before Wembley, he'd be speaking to us and trying to basically help us and give us insight into how we're going to win.
"I was just like 'you've never played football in your life. Do 10 keepy-ups and then speak to me’.
"There was just a lot of uncertainty so it was tough."
