Sunderland, relegated from the Premier League last season, are rock bottom of the Championship and in severe danger of going down again. "I, like everybody else, hopes the situation gets better there very quickly," added Quinn, who was club chairman between 2006 and 2011. "There are one or two people who are meant to be interested in buying the club, I hear all that. "I'm gone six years now so I haven't left anything behind me in terms of my support for the club.
