I was told off a mate of mine that Grigg had had a fall out with Cook while he was at Wigan and that was why they were prepared to sell him for the right price. I honestly don't know if it's true or not, but it does make sense if you think that Cook didn't take up an option to sign him on loan either this season or last. It still doesn't excuse his attitude or Donald wasting that money on him. Money that could and should have been used during the close season transfer window.

Who knows mate. All sorts of rumours doing the rounds at the time.

For Donald,the whole Sunderland thing,as we now know,was a huge gamble on his part,he was out of his depth from the moment he went into it and the gamble was promotion in year 1. Almost like an all in at poker,he threw everything at the Grigg deal,without the proper due diligence, in an attempt to get promotion over the line. His luck didn't hold,a very poor 45 minutes at Wembley ruined that dream.....so near and yet so far. From his perspective,I can see why he did it......a proven L1 goalscorer....every one of us expected lots of goals. And that's why I despise the both of them...in their different ways they were playing fast and loose with our future, unforgiveable.

I don't think the reason Grigg had his head in space was anything to do with football,mate.
 
No offence to the OP, but anyone else think it would be a good idea to peddle this thread? Technically Grigg is still our player and we've moved to better things, but the thought of hearing about a player probably banging goals in while out on loan when he couldn't be arsed to put 1 shift in here boils my piss. Just my opinion of course.
