He said: “We know that the last step in this journey will not be easy. We will again be the underdogs to those who ‘know football’. The supporters of the team that is a Netflix show will try to intimidate us with their superior number of fans.”

Preece’s bio now reads: “Coach at Netflix club @SunderlandAFC. Writer.”
