Adam Johnson: Sunderland chief executive Margaret Byrne resigns - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35757828

Admission of guilt, or just on principal, or to try and diffuse the situation and prevent any sanctions?

Guilty as sin. Quite clear they knew more than they let on. Any points they have gained with him in the team should be taken off them, then watch the fans moan, they might even forget about Jimmy Hillgate

You can't take points off. They were within their rights to play him, even though ethically it was wrong.

What they should do is refund any children's ticket for any parent who is unhappy that he was still being picked.

Looks like they've finally admitted they knew before the trial, disgusting

Yep, we know that, Nick.

An inspector quite clearly stated last week that they knew he was seeing the girl, knew he had been charged, knew the charge was sexual contact and were shown 836 messages between the pair.
