Sunderland boss Roy Keane insists he feels secure in his job, despite their struggles this season.
Keane said: "It's dangerous for me to say I will get more time than other managers might get . . . because ultimately, you are judged on your results.
"But I am lucky in terms of the people that I am working with. I don't think that Niall (Quinn) and Drumaville will panic and change the manager for the sake of it.
"Niall knows the game, which I think helps because he knows the passion that is involved. He knows the problems the club has had over the years and he appreciates that it takes time to get it right.
"He knows what needs to be done - and he knows it takes longer than 14 or 15 months to do it."
