I can see Grayson may think he's got Preston as far as he can - the fringes of the promotion race - but if this were an online game you wouldn't choose to take over Sunderland. The only two players who might score are off to Bournemouth and AC Milan. The Chairman's on the shifty side of shifty. The fans blindly expect promotion, and by turning up in numbers are worth it, so are likely to be doubly disappointed and make the manager's life hell.

You'd have to overdosing on self-belief to take that job on.

Maybe he's calculating that the pay-off when he inevitably gets sacked might make him secure for life.
