Sunderland have today announced that they have made their CEO position at the club redundant, and therefore Martin Bain has left.
The north east club, who were relegated from the Championship in 2017/18, were recently taken over by Stewart Donald and Bain's position had been in some jeopardy.
He has not been a popular figure at the Stadium of Light, and the announcement prompted widespread joy from Black Cats supporters.
Via a statement on the club's official website, Bain said: "My position of CEO at Sunderland AFC has been made redundant and I will be leaving the club with immediate effect.
