Background
Takeover talks were held over the summer involving an Irish group, the Drumaville Consortium, led by Niall Quinn.[1] They completed the takeover in July for £10,000,000 as Quinn's group took 72.59% of the club's shares.[2] During the 2006–07 season Roy Keane tookover as manager from chairman Niall Quinn, who served as manager for the first six games of the season.[3] Keane made a successful start to his managerial career with a 2–1 win over Derby County on 11 September 2006.[4] On transfer window deadline day Keane signed new players; Dwight Yorke[5], Liam Miller,[6] Ross Wallace, Stanislav Varga,[7], Graham Kavanagh and David Connolly.[8] A 2– win over Leicester City on 1 January 2007 sparked an 18 game unbeaten streak for Sunderland, which was eventually ended on 21 April 2007 after a 3–1 defeat at the hands of Colchester United.[9][10]
Sunderland went to the top of the Football League Championship for the first time in the season with a 2–1 win over Southampton, which included an 87th minute winner from Grant Leadbitter.[11] Their promotion was confirmed as third placed team Derby County lost 2–0 to Crystal Palace, as a result Birmingham City were also promoted.[12] On the last day of the season, the Championship title would be decided. Sunderland won their game 5–0 against Luton Town,[13] while Birmingham suffered a defeat against Preston North End thus crowning Sunderland as champions.[14]

Fellow north east team Darlington was Sunderland's first pre-season friendly, Sunderland won the game 2–0 with goals from Ross Wallace and Anthony Stokes at The Darlington Arena.[20] This was followed up by a shock defeat to Scunthorpe United on 21 July where they were beaten 1–0.[21] Sunderland went on a tour of Ireland, where they would play Bohemians, Cork City and Galway United. They beat Bohemians 1–0 on 28 July thanks to a Stern John goal,[22] but were held to a 1–1 draw at Cork City as Liam Miller scored the Sunderland goal.[23] Their final game of the tour against Galway United ended as a 4–0 win for Sunderland, with goals from Michael Chopra, Kieran Richardson, David Connolly and Stern John.[24] Juventus travelled to the Stadium of Light to commerorate its ten year anniversary.
