Di Canio would be more suited to project North Ferriby than whu but I could see it happening. A chance to enhance his managerial reputation and become an Orient legend at the same time may be too good an opportunity for him to turn down. Thin ice is no place for BFS to be hanging about, not with a giant of the game like Di Canio lurking about in the shadows. I fear the clock is ticking for BFS. Di Canio and Anelka to both be confirmed as Irons in the near future. Expect an announcement soon. You heard it here first!
Paolo Di Canio threatened with legal action over rant at former Sunderland charges The sacked Sunderland boss hit out accusing Lee Cattermole and Phil Bardsley of being unprofessional and saying John O'Shea was two-faced. The outburst has angered Sunderland who believed they had an agreement that dressing room rows would be kept in-house by their players, with Di Canio also expected to leave quietly. But the Italian has smashed that pact, and the Black Cats warned today: The club is now considering its position with its legal representatives.
Statement for Sunderland AFC. Sunderland AFC would like to express its’ disappointment in relation to the disparaging comments made recently by Paolo Di Canio, regarding the club and its players. The club is immensely proud of its players for the dignified and restrained manner in which they have conducted themselves publicly since Mr Di Canio’s departure and it is particularly disappointing to read such comments when there are legal obligations in place to ensure such behaviour does not occur. The club is now considering its position with its legal representatives. Having reached a cup final for the first time in 22 years, whilst also enjoying a run of only one loss in 12 games, we want to focus on what is a positive time for the football club and we would hope it is possible to draw a line under this matter quickly and that there will be no repetition. Neither the club, head coach Gus Poyet nor the players will be making any further comment on the situation. We are looking forward, not back and are focusing on the vital games we have ahead of us.
And hoping the likes of Cattermole and co don't lose their heads yet again in a flurry of stupid red cards. No smoke without fire as they say.
Why is it everyone, including all media, quote this stat and seem to forget that Man Utd actually beat them last week?
