saintmatt Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 (edited) Di Matteo to replace him according to twitter feed that broke news of his sacking a few hours ago Edited 22 September, 2013 by saintmatt
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 Least surprising news of the season.
DuncanRG Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 It was madness to appoint him in the first place, even worse to let him sign 14 players and sack him after five games. Sunderland are an absolute laughing stock, but I hope that's the end of Di Canio's career in English football.
angelman Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 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.
Hedge End Ranger Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 Or of course it could be Mcleish to replace him, being that he was in the stands yesterday!

RedWillie Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 Sunderland board are a joke. Sacked after five games...idiots.
CB Fry Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 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.
Mr Saints Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 If you're going to let him buy a new team, you have to give him more than 5 games. What a joke they are!
9-3 Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 Hope they locked all the doors, he might sneak back in the dead of night!
The Cat Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 He can't have been that bad, he got them a draw at Southampton who are chasing a Champions League spot.
Saint Charlie Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 Crazy mess but 100% the right decision. He was taking them down. His successor has inherited a mess of a squad.
GAS Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 I wont miss him that's for sure. He was lucky to get a premiership job with next to nothing to show as a manager, but still kept talking like he was a world beater.
Appy Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 They want an English manager who knows the PL apparently. Struggling to think of any. Curbs? Redknapp?

Bewildered Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 Appy said: Welsh? Oops, so he is. Still, knows the league well and isn't employed.
The Cat Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 Redknapp. Sunderland is his spiritual home.
dubai_phil Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 Wow one prediction I got half right. 1st Manager to be sacked I had Di Canio or Bruce. Bonkers early though.
Jonnyboy Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 My Swindon mate will be loling, he can't stand him.

As happy as I expect he is at QPR now after he has averted what coukd have been a complete train wreck you can never rule this out. That said he would have to be a massive fruitloop to do it, or a massive paycheck obv
SuperMikey Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 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!
Red and White Army Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 A c.nt of a man. Very happy to see him sacked.
Appy Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 Wouldn't surprise me at all if Redknapp went there.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 Player revolt apparently. Signings were made by director of football so don't seem to bothered, new man will just have to work with them. It's the modern way.
Batman Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 Could not imagine array would go there. Works in west London and lives in the south

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.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 Sandbanks to southshields, Sandra ain't gonna be happy but she's a triffic girl, top top class.
Bobbyboy Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 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.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 Johnson, Larsson, Altidore, O'Shea, Brown, Cattermole main players to complain apparently.
Batman Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 (edited) adriansfc said: 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 Edited 22 September, 2013 by Batman

TopGun Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 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... http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/next-manager-to-leave-post Funnily enough, MP is the manager least rated to lose his job at the moment!

ericb Posted 22 September, 2013 Posted 22 September, 2013 Pleased to see the fascist cu.nt gone. As woody Guthrie said "all you fascists are bound to lose"

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".

adrian lord Posted 23 September, 2013 Posted 23 September, 2013 Anything to do with Di Canio is bound to end in tears.
