Di Canio sacked....

Duncan, not usually do I wish someone's career to fizzle out, but I have to agree with you. But not sure it was madness to appoint him last season. Gave them the kick up the rear end to keep them up, but naive if the board thought that it was going to be a long and happy marriage.

He was a nothing manager hyped up beyond belief. Acheived nothing except promotion from the bottom tier, the kind of thing that the likes of Steve Cotterill/Paul Sturrock/Martin Allen/loads of managers none of us have ever heard of has achieved.

 

Mouthing off about not drinking coke or taking the sugar out of the training ground cafe or other such rubbish like he was some football revolutionary. He isn't. Won't work in the Premier League again unless he gets promoted there.

Sunderland were one of my picks to go down - they bought far too many players and not enough in quality, whilst shipping out their two best players (Mignolet and Sessegnon). It's a recipe for disaster with a very inexperienced manager who is also incredibly divisive. They've got to get somebody in to steady the ship and fast!

It's a long drive batman but its a top top club with some triffic supporters.

 

But arry would need his band of merry men to go there with him. Not sure they would as they have all been in the south fir god knows how long

 

Pulls has his name written all over it. Will make them hard to beat and probably keep them up.

You have a tendency to say we about things that were nothing to do with us. You're talking about Lowe, not we.

 

Sacking Di Canio is daft, but hiring him is 10 times worse. Letting him sign a new squad even more daft. Bruce had a mediocre squad that would probably stay up each year, and was sacked. O'Neill changed it a lot, spent a fortune and produced a very similar squad looking average but probably able to stay up.

 

Di Canio took that and spent another fortune to create a squad with no cohesion, little clue, no spirit and little chance of staying up. Genius.

 

Now they can hire Di Matteo, whose achievement thus far is letting senior Chelsea players control everything and win a very lucky champion's league.

 

We as In Southampton football club. Otherwise we can never say we as we just watch and have almost no influence

Real shame. I was hoping he'd have far more games lost by the time he was sacked and Sunderland would already be as good as down. Unfortunately this gives them a fighting chance of staying up, depending on who they appoint.

 

Same applies to everyone else though.

You can argue that was true of Lawrie Mac as well. Keegan and Channon said his team talk consisted of "go out there and win".

Well, that buggers the tip I took at 80/1 from the thread on here that MP would be sacked if we didn't beat Liverpool...

Funnily enough, MP is the manager least rated to lose his job at the moment!

 

Yep he's now the longest odds to be next manager to be sacked. Still around 80/1
