Cajun Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/03/31/article-2302080-1906EC12000005DC-971_468x318.jpg This will probably not go down well with some but I think he'll have a better points per game ratio than we've got under Pardew in all games if you award 3 for a win and 1 for a draw, if not in the league. Edit, He hasn't, I've just checked. The mackem had got 1.26 for all games and 1.18 in the league, Pardew has got 1.39 for all games and 1.37 in the league which is 7 points better off over a season.

Doug Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 The complacency of some of us is scary as we come up towards this derby. We are right in the shit if we lose to Fulham which is extremely likely given our season so far. Laughing at Sunderland in our position is the perfect motivation and preparation for them to dump us into the bottom 3. the Fulham game is 1000 times more important than the Benfica one. Its disgusting that I actually had to support Liverpool yesterday because of our lack of points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Personally, I couldn't care less about his politics ; neither could I care less about Ferguson's, who, by all accounts, is a rampant Socialist, even if a Champagne one..I am only interested in how a manager does with his football club and in this case I reckon Di Canio is an improvement on what they had. A dismal, ignorant paragraph that could have come straight off RTG. You would know - you've issued plenty of 'em. Incidentally, this site is about football, not politics - no matter how some people may wish to make it so.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 So lets ignore Di Canio's politics (which are disgusting,) and his personality issues (by all accounts a dick and an attention whore) for a moment. Fact remains that even if you do that, he's still a relatively inexperienced manager with no record whatsoever above League 1 level. If he weren't a famous ex-player he would not be getting anywhere near a Premiership club with his CV. This feels like it's from the Paul Ince school of managerial appointments. I don't see how this could ever be considered a smart appointment for Sunderland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how this could ever be considered a smart appointment for Sunderland. Ince sprung to mind for me as well. From what I have read, his career so far - * Gets a team who were the overriding favourites promoted whilst spending £10m in the process. I don't know a great deal about league 1 but this sounds like a hell of a lot of money for a team in the 4th division. * Has fallen out with a number of players which is why he signed so many. Sunderland have spent loads recently and I would imagine their wage bill is pretty high. I doubt very much he is going to be in a position where he can have such a large turnover in players due to him falling out with someone every other week. * Fell out with one of the players he loaned to the extent that after the loan had come to a disastrous end the players who were still at the club contacted him to let him know of some distasteful/racist comments PDC had made and urged the player to take action. * Very public/aggressive/physical falling outs with players. * He is a self confessed fascist, sponsors pulled out when he went to Swindon and one of the Sunderland board members released a statement confirming he will no longer be associated with the club because of the appointment. I'm obviously biased but I really cannot see anything but despair in this appointment. I can see the best in most things but don't think I could shine any positive light onto this appointment if it was us Maybe he is a genius, maybe Swindon were playing some amazing football and performing well beyond their level (but from what others have said they should have been fighting it out for promotion to the championship when they were in fact relegated to league 1 ), we will see. Just seems such an odd appointment to me. Sunderland aren't some tin pot club as much as we like to laugh at them. Reading are in far worse trouble and managed to appoint a manager who had a lot more experience and a lot more promise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
