I can see why he'd do it. He's not optimistic about Labours chances in an election, but as mayor of a city he could have some influence in a leadership role that didn't rely on the rest of the country backing the party.

Andy Burnham chatting about running for mayor of Manchester. Thatd be a hit to the plp.
