His way of expressing his opinions seems far too blunt to me, and he does it in public as well. Unless he actually wants players out and also is definitely able to get them out immediately, he is far too strong in his statements. It will be interesting but all I can see is unrest in the camp, unless he manages to bring in perfect professionals throughout.

the problem is no 1 he's drastically lowering the value of an already low value squad by so publicly bad mouthing them and possibly making them a lot more difficult to shift. No2 players looking in at it are they going to be enthusiastic about joining sunderland to work under from the outside appearances a psycho.

 

And above all else is he making these very public slap downs of his players for the good of the club or for the ego of Paulo Di Canio because frankly it looks more like the 2nd.

This unionism will go down well with the fascist  :iamatwat:

 

In truth actually I have some sympathy with DiCanio on this actually, squad is full of right t***s and does need a proper clearout. Being a manager does take a degree of diplomacy too though...

 

Right that the value is pretty poor though, but if he's confident of new signings he may see if any of them are willing to make a step up.

Defender Phil Bardsley is one of those appealing against being hit in the pocket, believing he did NOT break club rules on a team night out last Tuesday, during which he was photographed lying on the floor of a casino covered in £50 notes.

 

The defender said the money was winnings that he planned to give to charity.

Sunderland and Di Canio aren't big enough to be able to get away with shit like this. Any player with any pedigree they go in for this summer would tell their agent to make sure they got more than the going rate anyway since they're naturally quite reticent to moving to the NE. When you consider they've got a right wing nutter who will cancel their holidays and fine them huge sums for any perceived indiscretion then they're going to have to chuck obscene sums at players to convince them to consider SAFC.

Throw into the mix a few players who might now decide to take a cut in pay to get away from the manager & they could be in for a very painful summer.

It'll all be sweetness and light over the intervening months but once the season starts if they struggle there'll be hell on.

Johnson has looked much better for Di Canio's methods unfortunately, we'll see how long that lasts though. Be interesting to see what happens if they end up with a well disciplined organised squad, but that's going to take a massive overhaul, and a lot of their players have no sale value

Isn't Johnson one of those notorious for his drinking? Can't see him staying in the good books for long.

Fuck me, he never shuts up, does he?

 

This is going to backfire spectacularly, you cant fine someone two weeks wages for being twenty minutes late ffs.  Who is going to go to a club where such a militant authority from a man who has achieved nothing in management is in existence?

 

If anything, the only players they are going to get in are mercenaries who will move for the increased pay packet that Sunderland will have to pay making it a vicious circle.
