Sunderland boss David Moyes insists his reputation is intact, despite relegation.
The 54-year-old Scot has accepted his share of the blame for a relegation which has ended the club's 10-year stay in the Premier League having admitted just two games into the campaign that they were in trouble.
Moyes said: "I came here knowing exactly what the task was going to be. I didn't know exactly what was going to happen behind the scenes.
"In football, sometimes you win games. I have said it, I'm saying it to defend myself - I have a great win record at nearly all the clubs I have been at. This is the only anomaly where it hasn't happened.
"But I have got to say, it hasn't happened for quite a few managers and it has been that way for quite a while."
