Zatman Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I think De Fanti is a huge problem at Sunderland. He has signed a lot of players mainly Bosmans and he is a former agent so im sure their is some deal in that for him or his friends 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterms Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Brilliant readinghttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/sunderland/10328138/Paolo-Di-Canio-sacked-as-Sunderland-manager-after-massive-player-rebellion-undermined-his-authority.html They mention Di Canio behaving like a dictator... I'm shocked, shocked that a fan of Mussolini would behave like a dictator! Well, some of the players criticised his no-nonsense approach to coaching, but at least the training ran on time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I think what annoys me most about Di Canio is that he's such a hypocrite. He was hardly a saint in his playing days himself. but he is talking about professionalism. A lot of his managers say he was the most professional player they had. He even hired his own fitness coach at one club to improve his personal fitness. Some of the things he did as a player were hardly professional.

Just imagine if a player under him had done those things. What do you think his reaction would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Can't remember a managerial sacking for as long time where there was SO MUCH briefing to the press about the circumstances. Maybe not since our own Mr O'Leary took the long walk. Sunderland 2013 = equivalent to Villa in 2006? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine if a player under him had done those things. What do you think his reaction would be? I cant stand the man, really, I wanted him to remain there as long as possible to do them harm. BUT, on this clip he may say at least he was showing passion (and then say his players aren't capable of it). He may even say he was recognising that him being on the pitch was not helping his team as he was being targetted and not getting decisions because there was some bias against him, there were at least two stone wall pens there, and that trying to get substituted was trying to benefit the team because they were playing with ten men with him on the pitch (then say he showed more teamwork than any of his players who wouldn't understand team work if they were given a lecture in it from Mr T. Eamwork, the teamwork lecturer) Edited September 24, 2013 by Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I think Sunderland need to out do the Di Canio appointment by hiring Kinnear, Bielsa or more madcap in Maradona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folski Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 At least two stone wallers is right. Terrible reffing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 It's kind of ironic isn't it? 2 weeks ago he challenged a ref to send him off, who duly obliged. This week (if the story's are true) he challenges the players to get him the sack, and they duly oblige. Keep your mouth shut in future you headcase.

TrentVilla Posted September 24, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 24, 2013 So another manager find it hard to tell O'Neill's players what to do when taking over from him.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I don't know how anyone DIDNT think this would end in disaster. Has to be McLeish next. We need our revenge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 24, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 24, 2013 So another manager find it hard to tell O'Neill's players what to do when taking over from him.... That's true. Although 1) di Canio would have done that to anyone's players and 2) he also found it hard to talk to the 13 or 14 players he himself had brought in. So I think I'll begrudgingly give O'Neill a pass on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I'm not accusing Di Canio of lacking passion as a player but if someone under his management did some of the things he did I can't imagine he'd take it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterms Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Imagine Di Canio being Ballotelli's manager. That would be amazing viewing. I'd like to see a training ground discussion involving those two and John Hartson. I expect it would be a calm, reflective, unemotional chat about tactics.
