The problem with that is that when they were treated like adults they extracted the urine! Now they come up against a manager who refused to soft soap them, and expected full grown men on massive wages to put in the effort, which they refused to do and so they went crying to mummy. Absolute disgrace! O'Shea may have Cl medals and Eric Djemba Dbjema has a world cup medal, if o'shea was any good he would not have been kicked out of utd!
Really?? Surely if O'Shea was crap he wouldn't have spent 10 years at Utd would he?? Under the best manager the country(world?) has ever seen. Nobody refused to put in the effort - I have not seen fitness levels as good for a long time - they just refused to be publicly treated like ****e by their manager from what I can see!
from the BEEB :Quinn says players should be praised- Former Sunderland chairman Niall Quinn claims the Black Cats' dressing room revolt, which saw Paolo Di Canio lose his job, should be praised rather than criticised. "Player power will get criticised but in this particular incident they felt they were going into battle with a leader who wasn't with them", Quinn told TalkSPORT. "When you're in a battle you need a leader who you all look up to and want to go into a fight with you. "Paolo Di Canio was ducking out of the battle by blaming the players and saying what a great manager he was."
I think it's fair to say that the balance is somewhere in between the two then surely? Di Canio's methods were unorthodox to say the least, there might be a valid point for him sticking a rocket up their arses but he took it too far evidently. If the rumour of him saying he's the best manager in the world is true I think he's rapidly becoming a joke. Hopefully this will all blow over and we can carry on remembering him for his playing days, scissor kicks, sporting behaviour and shoving refs.
