to soon, club has panicked. don't think he helped himself going to the fans yesterday
|

What was his overall record in the league for played/won/drew/lost?
|
|
By:
30 months pay for 6 months work
Italian genius |

Agree hamster - all he achieved was making it look like more of a crisis than it was.
Also agree that it was too soon. Havent heard too many Mackems calling for his head. Still very early days. |
|
By:
they let him sell half their best players, sign about 230 new ones and then give him 5 games,
|

By:
Too much too soon. Only surprise is he got the boot this month not next. Needs to spend more time in the lower leagues learning the job, especially the man management bit.
Passion doesn't equate to ability. Sunderland should accept they made a bad decision hiring him. |

I blame that over priced always injured fletcher. You could be sure of one thing when he was at wolves as soon as you need to show a bit of spirit he would roll over injured for a month

Club statement
Published: 22 September, 2013 by Sunderland AFC Club parts company with head coach. Sunderland AFC confirms that it has parted company with head coach Paolo Di Canio this evening. Kevin Ball will take charge of the squad ahead of Tuesday night’s Capital One Cup game against Peterborough United and an announcement will be made in due course regarding a permanent successor. The club would like to place on record its thanks to Paolo and his staff and wishes them well for the future. |

Lose to West Brom and your job ain't safe.
Who plays them next...?  Of course De Canio had to go. It was damage limitation. |
|
By:
Seems like they are booting his whole staff out as well
|
|
By:
crazy stuff.
They backed him in the transfer market and then gave him less than 10 games. But selling sessegnon was bizarre |
|
By:
Joke. Far too early.
|
|
By:
Got a good idea. That Sessegnon? Yeah, our best player, what about him, new contract? Nah, sell him.
|
|
By:
"But what if we sell him and he scores against us?"
|
|
By:
I said yesterday, it wouldn't be long, before he was gone, you can't give him a premier league side to manage. He does everything he can, but upsets too many players and when you do that, they just won't play for you
|

By:
He tried to pacify the fans on yday after his team shamed him and the club. They didnt have the brains to acknowledge him
Down they go now now doubt could be a Geordie double for me down the trap door |

serves him right for impersonating james nesbitt

so now he can go and take tha ridiculous touchline slide and slide back under his stone with his pockets full hahahahahaha

once the hounds are released at sunderland,no manager can survive
|
|
By:
He stands in front if the ignorant fans telling them to blame him not the fans unaware the players were shafting him up the s hit tube getting a spokesman probably fletcher to get the chairman to sack him
Sickening the cowardism shown by fletcher leaving them to play with them men is nothing surprising same at wolves And then he left |
|
By:
Was a fight with the players on the training pitch yesterday that got him sacked.
He had a right go at them and they ganged up on him. Player power out of control. |
|
By:
Ridiculous appointment in the first place. He's like an overgrown child. The chances of him lasting a year without throwing his toys out of the pram or falling out with the players was always a 100-1 shot.
|
|
By:
Disgraceful scenes.
I wonder whether he will get a percentage of the tens of millions he saved them by keeping them up last year, because they were certainties to go down until he arrived. Paolo di Canio will have his day, that's for sure. And Sunderland won't. |
|
By:
He is a first class T wat who will never ever become a successful manager.
|
|
By:
Bit of a foolish statement considering he has 30 years to prove you wrong and he may not ever manage such a dysfunctional club again.
|
|
By:
This is what happens when you ban ketchup and mayo from the table...

By:
What sort of person is he.You cant just throw down your shirt and blame everyone else. He has said he will never change. If he stands true to that he will allways fail.

What sort of person is he? ^^^^^^^ the sort that stamps his foot and shouts louder and louder until he gets what he wants and if that doesn't work, storms out in a strop. A control freak. The sort that loves to make a drama out of a situation if he can. Sorry Paolo, this probably sounds a bit harsh, it's nothing personal mate! |
|
By:
Yes i agree...
|
|
By:
The british players who were there before he arrived had a meeting behind his back and went to the chairman and demanded him out
An absolute joke Like I said you have mr loyalty fletcher with an Oscar winning preface after missing an open goal being helped off by the physio with a supposed injured arm Leaving them to play with ten men and having no hope IMO and from what I hear this was probably a pre planned action and if proven he should be banned from football. He's been apparently injured almost continually since signing from wolves where alarmingly similar things happened |

By:
So dont play him, manage the the situation.
