Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole is relishing the chance of launching a promotion bid to the Premier League next season.
The Black Cats were relegated from the Premier League last season after a disastrous season during which they won just six games out of 38 under David Moyes and ended a massive 16 points adrift from safety.
The Black Cats have been flirting with relegation in the Premier League for many seasons and Grayson’s arrival represents a chance for the club to return to winning ways.
Cattermole said, “We are getting closer now, we have got two games to go, but we are talking about winning.
“We are creating that winning mentality. I’ve been chatting to a few of the boys and as group I don’t think we are used to winning games regularly. “We need to create that environment where we are demanding those results.”
Grayson’s side will begin the marathon 46 game Championship season against Derby County next Friday.
