Poyet not panicking over Sunderland struggle

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet insists he's not panicking over their relegation struggles.

While knowing his team needs to improve significantly with games running out fast, the South American insists he is not worried by their plight.

He said: "No, I am not worried because I knew the first day I got the job that it was a very big challenge, if not nearly impossible.

"Now we will see. We have got 10 games. I am not going to hide. I am going to be here and I am going to take responsibility, but let's wait and see.

"In the same way as I ask the fans to wait until the last game of the season to give their opinion on the team and the signings and individuals, I am going to do the same.

"Until the last game of the season, the last second against Swansea, I am going to be here believing it's possible because if not, it's not worth it, let's be honest.

"I am not going to be here just to have a job. I am here because I believe that we can be better than at least three teams. That's the aim from here to then."
