It will all come out

How? We sacked a manager 5 games into a new season. Surely you can see how badly that reflects on the club? It projects an image of a club that is clueless. He should have either been booted in the summer or given more time. From what I've heard PDC crossed the line yesterday, however the players were very quick to force him out.

It's clear that what's happened has polarised opinion between those who agree he should have gone and those that think the players attitude stinks and that's understandable. Personally I think neither PDC nor the players comes out of it well, but regardless of opinions it's done and all we can do is get on with it and support our club!

I would agree that no-one comes out well if someone can answer this question that I've asked a few times: what exactly did Di Canio do that was over-bearing, was always criticising them in public and treated them like children?

I have a feeling that when people lay some of these examples out they can be explained away with comparisons to other successful managers.

What would reflect worse is letting the lunatic continue. At least we've acted quickly. Takes a big man to admit to a mistake.

No love affair from me.

Didn't want the bloke here in the first place - see my posts when he was being appointed - don't like his theatre style with the orchestrating the crowd - see posts from months ago.

But what I think is wrong is players who are 20th in the league feeling they are being victimised because he's laying into them. Some of these players lie around in money in casinos, damage cars and go on the piss during the week. That's how much respect they have for us punters who help to pay their wags. So, Di Canio called them a pack of useless ***** - good, they are. Bout time someone said sub-standard performances just aren't good enough.[DOUBLEPOST=1379964408][/DOUBLEPOST]

Right, these same players who leak stories to the press about diet regimes - other clubs' players just get on with it - look at Arsenal and Wenger.

The difference is that Arsenal players wanted to win things and so listened to their manager. Our players don't want to win things they want to challenge the manager's authority and then cry victimisation.

Sounds like both sides were at fault tbh.

and theres the sense of it from an outsider. If any working relationship breaks down there is fault on both sides. Its not "the players" or "the management" or even "PDC" it a collective failure that we need to be putting right pretty quickly. The witch hunt doesn't achieve much and cant be arsed with the ITK gossip. Paolo kept us up when we were sleep walking to relegation under MoN. Then its gone tit up. We move on. Im Sundeland til I die. PDC was just passing through. Faster than I thought but hes gone and were still here. Haway the lads.

Perhaps mate, but I get the feeling before yesterdays meeting, Short was willing to give him the next two home games.

Where is this from? Any suggestion of who?

If it's true I'd guess: Cabral, Giaccherini, Mannone, Altidore and Ba.

I don't know the players. Neither did the person who told me. I think the first 2 you've guessed would be definates though from what has been said

Why would they call us that? Because we would be seen to be treating our employees in a fascist way and it would sell papers.

Why would it damage the club? Didn't you notice SAFC making News At Ten's opening headline back in April? There isn't a great deal of support for fascism in our society and our association with fascism and the perceived fascist treatment of our employees probably wouldn't make us very popular.

:lol: You're actually drawing parallels with the way Di Canio has been acting and the concept of Fascism?

Sir Alex Ferguson is a staunch Socialist, can his behaviour towards players be compared to Communism then?[DOUBLEPOST=1379970198][/DOUBLEPOST]

What the fuck for?!
He clearly didn't have a f***ing clue which weren't worth keeping and which ones should be kept at all cost, but you want the new man to take notes off him?
Unbelievable :lol:

Did he have any say in our outgoings?

No, I'm suggesting the press would. Hence the use of the word "press" and the absence of "I"..
 
Bear in mind he'll be under a gagging order so this is one side of the story coming out now. It's not a balanced view at all.
