Sunderland's Champions League Push | Chelsea F.C. News

Sunderland’s Champions League dreams are alive and well, according to former Everton CEO Keith Wyness, who believes their setup makes elite European qualification a realistic future goal — without overburdening the manager. While their recent European return ends a long drought, Wyness warns that losing key midfielder Granit Xhaka — reportedly headed to Chelsea — could derail long-term progress. He praises their “no limits but no targets” philosophy as healthy, but insists the club must plan for Xhaka’s exit. Meanwhile, their U.S. pre-season tour — featuring clashes with Liverpool, Leeds, and Wrexham — is expected to generate $2.5 million and unlock major sponsorship potential, a move Wyness applauds as smart branding for global growth.
