He gets it from the fact we have a recruitment team now, and a director of football. That is, by definition, what they do, buy and sell players. Paolo will be consulted, but it is there decision, ultimately.
Thats funny because I remember Paolo saying he will have the final say on players coming in & going out.

A manager will always be consulted, but he won't have the final say, even if he may feel that he does. If it remained the managers ultimate decision, then we are basically paying out 2 sizeable salaries for no reason, this is why often managers refuse to work under them, or leave roles when a DOF is appointed. It also relates to Di Canio's title of 'head coach' as opposed to 'manager'.
What I said is fact mate. FACT. Read Paolo's Pecs comments for further guidance and education on the matter, there's a good boy.
i think he meant Venice, marra... and of course we have the longstanding Minchella family who originally settled in Monkwearmouth in the 19th Century and have sold ice creams ever since.... nally in and aroond South Shields
i think its been explained by pecs the way its panning out , and i said thankyou to him for that , there its that simple, at 58 hardly a boy , but thanks for the compliment .
Paulo said he will tell his team what kind of player he wants, they will then go out and bring him a list of candidates and he will have final say on who he wants. I'm sure the same will be for outgoings aswell!
another view on how it works , does he pick or not if he does, a couple on here have been mistaken on the subject
What seems certain though is that the FIFA-licensed agent has been an important figure behind the scenes at Sunderland in recent times, with some crediting him with the role of king-maker in the recent appointment of Paolo Di Canio. The Italian, who is the agent of ex-Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong and current Man City striker John Guidetti, has been known to chairman Ellis Short for some time and his connection with Sunderland therefore pre-dates that of his countryman Di Canio. His emergence into the public spotlight is likely to pre-empt the next stage of a major overhaul of the club’s management structure, which last week saw confirmation that chief scout Pop Robson and his assistants had been sacked. Sunderland were specific upon the appointment of Di Canio at the end of last month in insisting that his job title was head coach rather than manager. The implication was that Short – known to have grown disillusioned with the value he was receiving for money in recent transfer windows – wanted to separate the jobs of managing the club from that of recruiting for the club. That would imply the creation of a director of football, with the new man charged with the task of looking for the best possible players to fill whatever shortcomings Di Canio might identify in the Sunderland squad – Di Canio himself having insisted he has been given assurances he will have the final say on who will and will not be signed. With De Fanti currently being a FIFA agent though, it remains to be seen what possible complications or controversies this role might cause, should be given it. So far, the club has only commented: “We are working through a number of changes leading to the appointment of a chief scout.” It may be that in any senior role De Fanti takes up at the Stadium of Light, he has to give an undertaking not to be personally involved in the processing of transfers. But fans can expect De Fanti’s involvement with the club will soon be revealed and that he will be a major player in Sunderland’s future.
While De Fanti and Angeloni will be primarily occupied this summer solely with bringing new players into Sunderland, the club itself will continue with the process of listening for offers for players that the new head coach is prepared to let go.
