Sunderland have endured an abysmal start to the campaign, but David Moyes has received the backing of the club's chief executive.
David Moyes has what it takes to revive Sunderland's ailing form and build a long-term success story at the club, according to chief executive Martin Bain.
The Black Cats are rooted to the foot of the Premier League table, with Moyes yet to taste a top-flight victory at the helm.
His position has come under increasing pressure and last weekend's 2-0 loss at Stoke City, who were also winless, represented a new low.
But the former Manchester United boss has received backing from the board room ahead of Saturday's trip to West Ham.
