10 goals ....1 a month

Half the points they got in that table came against Liverpool, Tottenham and West Ham. Just thought that was slightly odd

Sunderland announced they had relieved Grayson off his duties just 17 minutes after the club drew 3-3 with Championship basement-club Bolton.

Grayson took over the job in the summer after the Black Cats were relegated from the Premier League last season.

The summer transfer window also saw a huge overhaul of the squad that went down with eight players leaving.

But a run of just one win in their opening 10 Championship games has left them in the relegation zone with just 10 points.
