"What happened to Romaine is unacceptable, we stand with him. There is no room for racism or abuse in football or anywhere else. That's clear for us, we stand for respect, inclusion and diversity, these are the values of football and the values of the club, so it's clear."
"We have to have a clear position and I think it's the case here at Sunderland, we want to defend values and when someone, a group of people, want to threaten those values it is important to take a stand against racism and abuse in all its forms."
During a Premier League weekend marked by four separate racist abuse incidents against players, Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris and Wolves boss Rob Edwards demonstrated solidarity with their affected players. Sunderland winger Romaine Mundle experienced racist abuse following the team's 3-1 defeat to Fulham. Le Bris publicly stated the club's unwavering support for Mundle, emphasizing that racism has no place in football or society. He reinforced Sunderland's core values of respect, inclusion, and diversity, declaring the club's firm stance against racist behavior and abuse. Both managers took clear positions defending these principles against those seeking to undermine them.
