Durham on Di Canio

It's why some of the performances have been so poor though and it seems as if it's been a mixture of the performances and him being insane

I think PDC had to go on the face of it but most of the players will have turned on him for self serving reasons rather than for the good of the club
Maybe but it will, imo, work out better for the club.
 


I love the fact people use how much someone earns as a mark as to how much shit they should accept.
Paolo was a fuckwit who created an unhappy place to work.

he's megalomaniac no doubt , but the changes to the club he was trying to make re fitness diet etc, i believe needed to happen.

the most unpopular restriction he made was the socializing drinking culture which he really cracked down on.
and i believe that is really what many stalwarts hated the most... no more cushy life no more midweeks sesssions in newcastle
 
The players have set themselves up for a big fall in my opinion. They have seen off three very differnent managers with their ineptitude
 
That has nothing to do with why he was sacked though.[DOUBLEPOST=1380031155][/DOUBLEPOST]
Is that all it is? I dare say it isn't.

There fooking better be a lot more to it, as everything i've heard so far sounds par for the course.

He gans on the pitch and faces angry fans and tells them chin up = He came on the pitch and tried to stare out the fans i read :lol:

He bans sauce and Mayo from the canteen =Kilbane on MOTD saying "Things like that upset players" :eek:

He fines players for been late\drinking = He was a dictator :rolleyes:

You'll never find me disagreeing with that.
 
Fuck me I always thought he hated us bit of sympathy for once off him
I really just think he's misjudged the mood marra. He probably thought all the fans would be anti Di Canio and pro the players actions after the results, the truth is it's much more mixed than that. He will have expected/hoped for much more of a reaction to that piece than he'll get.

nah mate, and that because most people know what the real problems have been, but no manager had the nuts to deal with them.

he's gone, were in a state which he helped create and the players may revert to type.

I think its more the who can and can't talk to each other. Seemingly its more than 1 or 2 players not happy, even a couple of new signings.
The morale and team spirit was very low because of the manager, thats simply not right and couldn't continue.

New manager needs to deal with it in a better way.

Its a right f***ing mess isn't it?

absolutely. and yes a shagwankingdisaster of a mess

the "revolution" needs to continue, we've been crying out for one for more years than i dare to count.
i'm convinced that there is a core of players who think they won a reprieve.... short needs to educate them they haven't won

The whole thing is a mess. Board picked the wrong man to manage us, our recruitment has been shite, the players we already had are shite and we are being linked with managers who are shite

Still should have enough to stay up though

the big problem that is dogging us now. is that the core of players that have failed us some many times before are still here. and were in the worst state we've been in since Mick Mac

we need somekind of arse kicking miricle worker

Rocky, I usually agree with quite a bit of the stuff you post, if you think what the players did was big/clever then we are poles apart marra....!

For me, if the players put in a performance tonight/Sunday it's going to prove what a major set of unprofessional ***** they are. If they don't it's going to prove PDC right in that they are a set of useless, heartless, spineless *****!! Either way they have shown me (and no doubt countless others) that they think they are superior to the fans/club and basically don't give a flying fuck about either.

I fear for the future of SAFC while these areholes are still at the club trying to preserve their cushy little numbers.
 
When Paolo di Canio got the job at Sunderland I said in this column that he wasn’t appointed for football reasons.

He was brought in to upset some egos and kick some backsides.

Which is also the reason he’s been sacked.

Believe me, footballers get very upset if a new manager changes their routine. They cry about it to their mates, and before you know it ‘the lads’ are in it together, playing in such a way that the manager’s dismissal becomes inevitable.

Down and out: Paolo Di Canio's methods were not popular with the players and he paid the price

I’ve seen it happen time and time again.
How about the international (not at Sunderland, I hasten to add) who hated new training schedules so much he told his new manager that he saw it as his job to get him the sack as soon as possible?
Or the well-respected player who told his new manager he wouldn’t adhere to the new defensive tactics because he preferred playing a different way? Both times – the manager was sacked after a matter of months.
I’ve read stories about players being upset about di Canio’s rules on chatting with club staff. Forget whether the Italian was right or wrong to impose a rule like that. Instead, ask yourself this: should that affect player performance on a Saturday afternoon? Really?

Sinking feeling: Sunderland players look dejected as former striker Stephane Sessegnon scored for West Brom

Do you honestly believe it’s logical that players perform worse if they’re not allowed to chat to the tea lady? How unprofessional is that? Are they all big babies or what?
And apparently there is outrage at a di Canio rule that youth team players couldn’t use the gym if a senior player was already in there. One of the biggest problems in English football is young players thinking they’ve ‘made it’ before they’ve achieved anything in the game. People long for the days of apprentices cleaning boots and showing respect to management and senior pros. Yet this rule brought in by di Canio to keep young players’ feet on the ground has been criticised.

Don’t feel sorry for the players at Sunderland. They’re well-paid, and they play football all day. Life wasn’t so unbearable for them.
They were given a manager who asked difficult questions of them. They couldn’t be bothered to work harder, so they contacted the board and got him the sack.

They preferred the old ways of no demands, no expectations, and no achievement. Remember this was a group of players who couldn’t be bothered to do their jobs properly for a man like Martin O’Neill.
The fans might get all excited if they beat League One Peterborough in the Cup tonight, but it’s a game that should be comfortable for any Premier League side. The fans deserve more than a routine cup win. Sunderland is a club that has been mediocre or worse for years and years.

Heading for the exit: Paolo Di Canio was sacked by Sunderland after just 13 games

The players have got their way, so they’d better start producing something decent. Until they do, the fans should treat the players with the contempt they deserve – they were unprofessional, they under-performed, lost games, and eventually forced the manager out.

Di Canio wasn’t perfect, and I can’t see him managing in the Premier League again. His strict disciplined regime didn’t go down well with players who prefer an easy life. Had they embraced his methods, Sunderland might have been successful – we will never know.
The sad state of the Premier League these days means managers have to be nice to players or you lose the dressing room and the players get you the sack.
Speaking to Swindon players about di Canio, they tell me they were so hungry for success they were ready to go along with what he wanted.

That tells you all you need to know about the hunger of the Sunderland players.

Remove the bizarre last line and that is the best thing I've ever read from him or the Fail. You have to wonder - if we had been luckier in the first two games would the players have got excited, bought in and this could have built into something. Did they turn on PDC when hard work didn't get instant results?

What if they had good reason to do it?

If they put in a performance with different personnel/formation what happend under Paolo will count for diddly squat. I'm delighted the fucker is gone.
