Tom 14013 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Gianluca Di Marzio has said they are after an English manager who ''knows the premier league'' and that Di Matteo has doubts about the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14013 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Agreed & I suppose when Di Marzio says 'English' he probably means 'British'. They've got a couple of decent players & ambitious kids - there's stuff to work with but the management from the top has been suicidal. Paulo was always going to look like a league two manager and his methods were never going to work - anyone with an ounce of sense could see that.

Renton 21983 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Disappointed. Thought he'd offer it's much more mackem-based entertainment this season before their probable relegation. Who the fuck will they get now though. They've already employed and sacked half the usual suspects. Di Mattio, just why would he go? So that leaves Pulis, a scruff that will fill the void nicely, and give the mackems the football they truly deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17643 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Louise Taylor, the thinking mackem's crumpet: Di Canio can count himself unlucky after being asked to incorporate 14 summer signings made by Roberto De Fanti, the club's director of football. Of those recruits 13 were foreign and only five had previous Premier League experience. Their failure to communicate properly forfeited a series of goals – and points – at set pieces, with the former Swindon manager's willingness to highlight players' errors in public drawing widespread criticism. Di Canio was adamant that, given time, his bold attacking game plans – 4-2-4 was the favoured formation – would pay dividends and his strict new disciplinary regime would transform Sunderland's fortunes. Short disagreed but how the Italian must rue his board's failure to bow to repeated requests to sign Tom Huddlestone from Tottenham last month. Instead the powerful midfielder is shining at Hull. Di Canio's successor faces a considerable challenge as he endeavours to repair shattered morale and steer Sunderland clear of relegation waters.

So Di Canio didn't want a complete overhaul and had no say in who was brought into the club? That seems to fit well with what we know about him.

That seems to fit well with what we know about him. Weelll....a lot of "managers" are in reality just the coach of a bunch of players recruited by someone else nowadays. See Alan Pardew at NUFC It rings half true to me, look at Commoli at Spurs...his big mistake was appointing a coach who couldnt speak English,but the players he bought in were all at least decent, and in some cases brilliant. All it takes is the right coach... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps (I thought Robbie Brady was causing us all kinds of problems), my point was that L.Taylor was saying that sunderland lack that kind of player, not, as essembee asserts, that signing him would lead to a title push.
