Sunderland confirms Miliband appointment
David Miliband, former foreign secretary and MP for South Shields, has been appointed as Sunderland AFC's new non-executive vice chair.
Miliband's arrival at the Premier League club is part of its efforts to ensure it has the "right people" in off-field positions to maximise support for on-field staff. Sunderland AFC chair Niall Quinn said: "His unique skills will certainly complement our highly talented existing board members whose areas of expertise include marketing and commercial, legal and finance."
