(Reuters) - Sunderland manager David Moyes has said he "knows how to run a club" and defended his credentials after being jeered by some supporters during Wednesday's 1-0 defeat at fellow Premier League relegation candidates Middlesbrough. "I'm fortunate that I know a lot more about the running of the club and what goes on so I'm a little bit privy to that," Moyes told reporters on Friday. "All I want is the supporters to get behind the players and make sure we give the players every opportunity to win the game." Sunderland are on a nine-game winless streak but the 54-year-old Scot is still optimistic about their chances of top-flight survival. "If we can win tomorrow it will give us an opportunity to go again," Moyes added.
