De Canio sacked

Ridiculous
Too much passion and heart for that lazy bunch

MAMMA MIA!!

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?

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.

they let him sell half their best players, sign about 230 new ones and then give him 5 games,

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.

Seems like they are booting his whole staff out as well

crazy stuff.

They backed him in the transfer market and then gave him less than 10 games.

But selling sessegnon was bizarre

Joke. Far too early.

Got a good idea. That Sessegnon? Yeah, our best player, what about him, new contract? Nah, sell him.

"But what if we sell him and he scores against us?"

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

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

Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha!

Glad he got his come uppance, Ciao!

Best news I've heard today!! That and Manure getting stuffed 4-1!! What a great Doub;e Whammy Super Sunday!!

Hate seeing problems at 5under1and. They are my 5,231 favourite footy team. It is also my 7,230,182 fav city to visit for vacation. #gutted

yes joey and you cant go to any American cities due to your criminal record. you bastion of culture.

They should give the job to fellaini, it doesn't look like he's doing anything else.

crazy

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

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

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.

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.

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.

He is a first class T wat who will never ever become a successful manager.

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.

This is what happens when you ban ketchup and mayo from the table...

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!

Yes i agree...

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

So dont play him, manage the the situation.

Jermaine, why did the British players want him out? Anything to do with his man management "skills" or was that just a coincidence?

They want him out because they reserve the right to act like the game owes them a living and to treat the fans with contempt. He wants them to act like professionals.

He tried stopping them stuffing burgers and ketchup before games and tried to get them passionate and fit
Player power won as usual
If I was a Sunderland fan I would not be happy with the players efforts not the manager
IMO his mistake was not changing the entire squad because the ones he. Kept made sure he was playing games with 8 men

it was quite sad watching the man being screamed at by the ignorant horde,just because he has principles and wanted the players to behave in a professional manner

If he had any man management skills instead of being such a drama queen with his spoilt little kid persona, he'd have been able to get his players onside like so many other managers do, and get them to work with him, as a team. As an aside, the guy's like Thatcher, you either love him or "hate" him, doesn't seem to be much middle ground, he seems to have divided opinion nicely on this thread. Anyway, I'm off out and I just hope he never get's the manager's gig at Griffin Park.

shame he couldnt of lasted at least another four games until the derby when he would of been sacked after losing to the toon ....never mind ...slide on down to the jobcentre freak !!

Dizzy they wouldn't play for oneill and everyone else.  plus fletcher downed tools on macarthy   So its a no win situation for anyone who goes there
As they will find as who wants to manage a club where they have without doubt the thickest bunch of fans in the world   This is an area that can't seem to understand coal is outdated and they no longer need to send their children down the mines with a canary on their head to make sure it's safe for the grown ups to blow holes through the earths core
They are so deluded they are mentioning people like di mateo after seeing how they treated his  mate he's sure to go there lol

I think they drew the line when he wanted them to wear swastika armbands, 'Seig Heil' instead of shake hands and go synchronised goose-stepping when they scored a goal.

Oh and refusing to 'park the Panzer Tank' rather than the bus.

Didn't realise jermaine defonebox was a Sunderland fan.

Mikeal
May well be in the new year If i do move to whitby think they n newcastle are nearest prem team
I will bring out of the 1800s
Oh I forgot they won't be in the prem has to be boro if they go up. May even try Hartlepool they seem to be the only team that way occasionally winning

Could try Bedlington Terriers, Bishop Auckland and Blythe Spartans, Jermaine

fụcking nut job

apparently di Canio going to try a career as a mime artist now....chin up, Paulo

Whitby Town, much better entertainment than the mackems imo

I guess he found out what President for Life means, just like his hero Il Duce.  Good riddance!

game needs more managers like him

Clattermule running the klerb shaky.

Top Hound.

Sacked for caring more than most players
I have an reliable source that has said that during training sessions when he first arrived he was one of the fittest guys  there 
Hence he said he was alarmed at how unfit they all were and got rid f most banned the burgers n ketchup and upped the training and diets and the few he didn't kick out were still senior players and it was them that stabbed him in the back
I mean has fletcher ever looked anything other than 55 yrs of age no wonder he's always handing in sick notes

like,em or loath,em cant believe bruce or oneil ran a holiday camp training regime

Discipline is a good thing. Does sound as though DC imposed just a bit too much of it though. These players didn't have to play football for him. He'd be wrong to pamper them, but treating them with constant stick and no carrot seemed a strange way of getting them to be loyal to him.

And the public slagging off of players seemed very stupid. The occasional big ego would benefit from being punctured in public. Most players, though, will just react badly to that sort of treatment.

1st time poster, do you really think Sunderland currently has a happier squad of players than Hull??

Lord I think Sunderland are the most desperately unhappy bunch in any league all the enthusiasm of the e and young players was stamped on by the likes of  oshea who seems to think its ok to put on 30 kg cause he's not at utd. He needs more than ketchup cut out
And like fletcher appeared to deliberately cost his team the game last time
How can the can win with that s hit going on

they sound a rancid sly lot

So to recap they've got rid of  two apparent bullying dictators keane and canio and wouldn't say boo to a goose oneill
I reckon next it will be the last man fletcher would want  mick firm but fair macarthy for the hot seat. Deserves another chance similar scene to di canio performs miracle keeping wolves up the the players   Next year fletcher and the boys all think they are maradona wolves relegation fight macarthy loses dressing room ......and gets sacked
Then fletcher and the likes get sold for 20x what they are worth.

the guy's a d!ck...end of

I have it on goof authority the players formed a workers union to protest about his plans to invade Crete and were only pacified from hanging his body from the roof of a nearby Esso station, when the chairman sacked him - and agreed to bomb Rome.

Now the thick fuc ks after the deluded attempt at metteo are sniffing round my frankie.  Are they obsessed with Italy  and don't  they realise Italians are patriotic and stick together by now   I mean watford most exciting team in England to Sunderland most boring   Really
Thickest club in the world

Di Canio was right to be sacked but make no mistake some of our players are pr1cks of the highest order. Players are no longer threatened by getting 2 weeks fines, most of them have made enough cash by the time they reach 20 year old to retire and lead a comfortable lifestyle, it sickens me that players have all the power these days.

Tries to have a go cause some obnoxious **** gets photographed flat on his back covered in £50 notes and the rest of the Brits report him to the chairman
