DI Canio sacked.

Sounds like he should be a drill sergeant and not a football manager

maximoose

Sounds like a complete mentalist.

RayCon

Sounds like he may be out of work for while - you d'fuk would hire that ?

Not really a surprise, but where do the Mackems go from here? The North-East seems to be cursed with managers these days.

Di Canio introduced some bizarre things in the dressing room @ Sunderland and by all accounts most of the players didn't like him.

We know have the choice of 3 former Sunderland managers for the Irish job...

Di Canio/Keane joint-managerial dream-team?

Corben Dallas

Very interesting reports from the newspapers.... sounds like he managed football clubs like a dictator fond of temper tantrums.

When heard about the Ketchup/Mayo ban it was only going to be a v short reign as Sunderland Manager. Humiliating JOSH in front of the whole team for an individual error in a team game is bad management. end of.

O'Shea was a v good 'Utility' squad player, good enuff to fill number of positions up to Champions League lvl. U don’t get to play at ManU for that number of years without being high standard.

Unfortunately some fans think... soon as any player leaves ManU they become bad players. blinkered. Josh obviously not world class like Keane, Beckham, Giggs, Cantona etc but more than good enuff to be a squad player in multi-league winning team.

Like to see Churbishley get the job.

It would seem that let alone was a believer in fascism allowed to take on a premier league club he even implemented a fascist regime over his players. .

At least the team coach ran on time!

Yes but Sunderland lost that match to Palace directly as a result of poor, sloppy play from JOSH, who was captain.

Di Canio only told the truth. Better than him trying to pin the defeat on some random decision by the referee in the first half to award a throw in or something like that.

Surely JOSH isn't that delicate that he can't handle fully justified criticism?
Maybe his 50k a week wage can help him keep the chin up.

Di Canio wouldn't have criticised some immature teenager who they took a chance on, JOSH is experienced and knows he must do better

what was worse was Ji pulling out of the header , you wouldnt see that at the lowest level Sunday league games - never mind a player making probably a 5 figure sum a week , di Canio did go too far , but some players must bear the blame , Sunderland have been drifting downwards for years , regardless of different managers.

Behind closed doors in front of the team is fine,

On live TV it is not, it is unprofessional in my eyes.

Fred Rutten has told the club he will take the job if offered:

The odds on Ralf Rangick have been tumbling over the last few days also, although I'd imagine that would be too much of a reach.

Announcement expected in the next 48 hours.

Oat23

Rangnick has a cosy job as SD of the Red Bull teams. He'll manage Leipzig next imo when they win promotion and results start going against their current manager. I wouldn't be putting my money on it being him but who knows.

Sky are reporting that Poyet appointment is immenent - think it will be a good choice, Ball said all the right things , but sunderland are going to need more , and something out of the ordinary to stay up , in a very tough league.

eagle eye

Poyet sounds like a good choice. Huge job in front of him if they are to survive but I think he has a lot about him and I'd fancy their chances of at least giving it a real go for survival under him.

Mitch Connor

Player won't last much longer than do craniotomy. Another poor appointment.

That's among the best autocorrect gibberish I think I've ever seen!

Good choice imo.

So we've basically brought in Di Canio lite. I'm sure the players (and cleaners this time) will love that!

The standard of candidates were very poor on the whole so I guess I can't complain too much, but I'm not a Poyet fan at all. That said, there's not many better out there either. Awful timing considering there's usually always one or two out there that people would have as a strong candidate, this time there was no-one.

Relegation is inevitable anyway so hopefully he can get us back up next season. Being honest, I'm finding it harder and harder to care what happens these days.

How do you think i feel being a Blackburn fan and having a Sunderland season ticket, i feel the same as you, I don't even have a decent International spell to cheer me up

that probably why Poyet is a good choice , it is a gamble - Ball , seamed a nice guy and all that , and the players liked them , but they were going down with him - Poyet might add a spark , that is badly needed with players bought by di Canio - big gamble - Palace, fulham, stoke , norwich look poor - never give up hope in your team.

kryogen

Poor choice, I predict it to end in buckets of tears

Paully D

Fans from former clubs are usually a pretty good barometer and Brighton fans are mixed on him. They say that he had them playing some great football but it did take a while to implement, that he is a bit of a clown off the field, and that he will constantly speak about managing bigger clubs such as Chelsea.

The problem for us is a) we don't have time b) are sick of managers mis-managing off the field stuff after O'Neill's no-shows and Di Canio's Nazi regime and c) have a fan base who rightly won't take too kindly to our manager pimping himself to others he has no chance with, given our position.

Villa fans were spot on about O'Neill, Swindon fans spot on about Di Canio. If Brighton's fans are also correct on Poyet then it's not good news for us.

Moneymaker

The only good thing for Sunderland fans is Poyet's infuriatingly good record of scoring goals vs Newcastle will no doubt translate to his record in Tyne-Wear derbies. :mad::mad:

Poor Paully.

now that it is confirmed , I still think it is the best realistic choice - he did well at Spurs too, and he is brining in taricco as coach , think they will do better than expected . hope so, have a soft spot for them , my dad supports them.
