Sunderland caretaker boss Ricky Sbragia insists he hasn't thought about taking the job permanently after their victory over West Brom.

He said: "To be honest with you, I am not even thinking about the job, and that's the truth.

"If it's there, it's there; if it's not, it's not. At the end of the day, I have been asked to take the job over and we have lost one and won a game.

"We have a big game next week at Hull and I just think in general if I focus on what we want to do next week thinking about the Hull game, that's all I can do.

"If we win games, we win games. That's fantastic for Sunderland Football Club, and we need that.

"We need to get out of the mire we are in just now, and that's one step to it. But there's a lot to go."

The win lifted the Black Cats out of the relegation zone, but perhaps bought Quinn more time in which to come to a decision on a new boss.

Sbragia said: "I think that's probably what I have done, to be honest with you.

"I spoke to Niall a couple of days ago, and he said if we got a good result here, which was important, it gives them time to sift through the applications.

"If we win next week, it will give them another week so they don't have to rush into it.

"At the end of the day, if I keep winning, I keep winning. There might be something, but I have never forced the issue."

But asked if the last week or so has given him a taste for management, he added: "Not really. I'll be honest with you, it's been hectic.

"There's a lot I don't like about it, but has to be done, and there's a lot I do like about it."
