Michael Gray has vented his frustrations out on social media after off-field news recently emerged regarding Sunderland's financial situation.

The Times report that the Black Cats have failed to find a new buyer after parties were concerned about a £20m debt in the club's account.

The report claims that the £20m has been listed as an "exceptional operating expense", subsequently meaning that current owner, Stewart Donald, doesn't need to pay it off himself.

This has, in turn, put potential buyers of the club off any purchase, with Donald reportedly looking to sell the club nearly two years after acquiring it.

Sunderland legend Gray has since took to Twitter in light of the news, saying that the club are a "mess".

Gray, who made over 360 appearances for Sunderland, is an adored figure at the Stadium of Light, and his honest words have prompted plenty of fans into agreeing with him.
