I didn't say that it did.
Are you capable of having a discussion without instantly becoming aggressive and abusive?
Everyone knows lumps is a mouthy cunt. But he likes children and animals and loves his mum, so he's not all bad. |

Put aside the "stand in the middle of the pitch gesticulating strangely at own fans" thing, which seems to have been relatively well intentioned, his slightly mad staring eyes make it look like he's being aggressive but looking at it again I don't think that's what he's up to.
What we have is a poor start to the season after having built a completely new side. That's pretty much the story for every season that PDC has been a manager isn't it? the start of the Div. 4 title winning season was a bit of a car crash. Start of last season wasn't great either. Given that I think it's a bit early to judge.
If I had to make a prediction though I think Sunderland will struggle this season. That "throw away the whole first team and buy a new one" approach might work when you're at one of the biggest clubs in the league you're competing in, with one of the biggest budgets, but Sunderland are a long way from being that.
And the man management style is likely to work less well on premiership players.
Aye, agree. PDC acted like a chap playing a computer game - "damn I fucked up, let's start again", only in football league terms it's with someone else's money... |

Some right angry bastards on here lately. Good stuff  Di canio saying 'he won't change' says it all. This will be his last job in the premiership. Think he'll go to italy next myself |

I hope he goes on to be very successful elsewhere - his hard work and dedication deserves that, but if he falls on his arse at Sunderland I'll have a wry smile and chuckle to myself.

Blimey, 5 games, really. Thank fuck we weren't so rash. The club statement was concise. http://www.safc.com/news/club-news/2013/september/club-statementClub parts company with head coach.
Sunderland AFC confirms that it has parted company with head coach Paolo Di Canio this evening.
Kevin Ball will take charge of the squad ahead of Tuesday night’s Capital One Cup game against Peterborough United and an announcement will be made in due course regarding a permanent successor.
The club would like to place on record its thanks to Paolo and his staff and wishes them well for the future.

The results last season weren't great for him either. Bloody stupid to sack him so soon after letting him assemble an entire new squad over the summer. He'd probably have got them somewhere in mid table eventually |

Absolutely no doubt that his antics at the Hawthorns cost him his job.
Expect he'd have been given more time if he wasn't hell bent on antagonising his own supporters. What a cock.

brought it upon himself. No way would a club the size of sunderland stand for his antics where as for us, he was the big show and brought the cameras here and put us on the map again.
trouble is he thought he was he big show in the perm. as a players yes. as a manager no

It was always possible, given his attitude, that he would be sacked early in to a job. Obviously here he was indulged for a while and, short term, it worked for us. He perhaps came across a less patient board at Sunderland - and his behaviour at the end of the WBA was embarrasing. When you put yourself on a pedestal and win, you look self assured. When you do it and lose, you look like a knob.
