“While we hoped that Simon’s experience in the Football League would help us to a successful season, results have not been good enough for a club of this stature.

Sunderland have won just one of their 15 league games so far this season -- a 3-1 success at Norwich City on Aug. 13 -- and have 10 points after also having seven draws and seven defeats.
Former Blackpool, Leeds United, Huddersfield Town and Preston North End boss Grayson took over at Sunderland four months ago after the club were relegated from the Premier League, leading to the departure of David Moyes as manager.
