Funny how sunderlands "integrity" and "loyalty" that you've been harping on about all week has vanished after just one game

Noname

Agree0 Disagree0

You mean 5 games and funny how the cockney mafia out patrol are back after one game against the mighty Hull! but wait wasn't everything great after you beat 2 teams in a row

Agree0 Disagree0

So then, is it a short term love affair gone on too long
He was specifically brought in to fire the players up and save us from relegation, he did it, 1/3
He promised to make changes throughout the team, (which was needed, all those who are saying that we didn't need them are lying to themselves) he did, 2/3
Now he has the task to find his strongest team and sort the bl**dy tactics out and make sure we have a descent season to make it 3/3, unfortunately, that is the most difficult task to make succeed, results have been bad, will they improve?, will they improve soon? God Knows

So which leaves the owner in with a tough decision, sack him, find out who the next manager will be, and then put all pressure on him to get the results which is a 50/50
Or Let Di Canio finish what he started, which all credit to him he deserves nothing less but, is also a risk, let him find the best team and get us the god damn results we need, want and deserve

He is a nutter, he can't be anymore
He just needs to have a quiet, calm, private chat with every player to find out where to improve
Then a pep talk with the entire team coz if he always tears the players apart they will be scared and unconfident, which is probably the reason the results are sh*te, only Mavrias was taking the game to them, probably because he's young and fearless

The cup game on Tuesday is our World Cup Final, he needs to play his strongest team
SUGGESTIONS??
Mine:
Westwood, Celustka, Diakite, Roberge, Colback, Cattermole, Gardner, Ki, Mavrias, Giaccherini, Altidore



Whoever the players, whoever the manager, whenever the game, wherever we are, we are Sunderland

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Brings tears to my eyes

1. because that was so powerful & emotional
2. because we're so sh*t

Agree0 Disagree0

I'd play Westwood, Celustka, Roberge, Diakite, Colback, Cattermole, Ki, Johnson, Mavrias and Giach Behind Altidore

Agree0 Disagree0

ok let's have a vote, if you think pdc should stay vote stay if you think he should go vote go and let's c see what the result is I vote stay

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Stay! He's had a dozen or so competitive games ffs! Why don't they just pick managers out of a hat every week?
Try to have a bit of patience we're not mags!
Liono74

Agree0 Disagree0

He has my backing until 10 games, if nothing changes then he needs to go, if we win at least 2 games I will be happy

Agree0 Disagree0

Stay! This is a long term plan and we need stability.

di canio is a liability, he needs to b relieved of his role now, appoint an established sensible manager, who will guide a clueless yank about football, before my club is ruined.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

O Yeah? Who ya going to get then? And who will be interested? After all you are only giving him 5 games to prove himself!
(And don't say Di Matteo just coz you've read the Sunday rags)

Well, 5 games and we already look relegated. there are so many issues arising already that is really worrying. PDC seems, unfortunately, out of his depth. He is not a premier league manager yet. we cannot score or create chances and we cannot keep clean sheets. he has bought players then stiffed them, ie cabral and the young right winger. he's alienated players like bardo and catts and sold players that would be in our starting 11 namely sess and alfie. Yes sess seemed disinterested but maybe that's down to the manager, we don't know. johnson seems worse that last season, which seems unbelievable as he was poor last year too. why does he chop and change especially at half time he hasn't a clue which is his best team or which players he actually likes. Ji was on the bench again instead of Wickham which is totally bizarre seen as though ji is garbage. we are in a bad state at the minute and I cannot see any way forward for us. Fletch looks as though he's out now for a while. the three good things that has come out the wba game are the right back and diakete seem to have settled and the return of catts, he has GOT to be in the team simple as that. I think giachorini (spelling) should be more central playing behind altidore with mavrias given a run. i'd drop johnson for a few games for the young kid, karlson, we need to change it up, maybe starting with the manager. I've never called for a managers head, ever, but for all his passion he falls short on the pitch. i'm sorry for saying this after only 5 games but how can we be playing with such little confidence already? we have conceded 3 goals in the last three games and it could have been more. we are in trouble and even the die hard supporters have got to admit that. from the pictures on the television he is losing the supporters and if rumours be true has already starting to lose the players. the sight of westwood after the final whistle says it all i'm afraid.

The most optimistic thing we have at the moment is that we have a Cup Game coming up so a nice win could clear some heads

But if we don't comfortably win, I'm out, that's where I draw the line

The squad was fine. It needed 3 or 4 additions, not wholesale changes. The squad is now too big and the team unsettled. PDC will only have one solution to this poor run of form. he will demand more signings in January. The board need to block this.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

What's the answer?sack the manager, who would you bring in?when would you sack him, now, xmas, he needs a team and stick to it. I admit it's depressing the fixture list isn't kind, we need a miracle, let them all laugh, still think in my heart well b ok be it we come 16th or 17th. fingers crossed, just need a bit of luck, maybe stop calling us the blackcats, ha.

Agree0 Disagree0

Had to laugh when the commentator said there was a crisis at Chelsea, some people don't realize how lucky they are.

Agree0 Disagree0

He will be gone before then. With the squad he has they should not be losing to the likes of Fulham & West Brom. He is fixed on one way of playing but does not have the central midfield players for this system. I have stated this before - he needs to play only one winger and add an extra player in centre midfield.

Agree0 Disagree0

I will be the first to say it

Di Canio out

Agree with Mags & Lawrenson, ain't looking bright

Just heard Ellis Short is looking to sell the club. Having talks with owners of Bidvest Group.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Who could blame him, this is looking like a disaster now. totally bewildered now.

TYPICAL

iv had enough, the mags can laugh and we can't complain to be honest, this is dreadful

Believable0 Unbelievable0

21 Sep 2013 15:58:45
To be honest I am starting to agree with a few of the mags, it's disappointing to see all the fans cheer them on all day every day and get nowt in return

There is no pressure on PDC, he was brought in to stop us getting relegated but he isn't the man anymore, he can shout & scream all he likes but his tactics are sh*te

Need a change, last week at Arsenal I thought something was about to change, I guess I was wrong

Wow, it is amazing to think it was only a matter of weeks ago that Sunderland fans were on the Newcastle page calling the club a circus and laughing their socks of at Kinnear.

Remy is on a hat-trick today.

Over at West Brom, Sess has scored against you while Vaughan is missing after refusing to play LOL.

Who is the circus now eh. who?

haw haw haw

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Well well, a lord haw haw, haw did the protests go today?Oh it did not happen, what a surprise, so you are happy with the cockney mafia after all, great stuff.

Agree0 Disagree0

OH WAIT DID REMY GET A HAT TRICK? NO! AND YOU LOST TO HULL! HAHA !

Agree0 Disagree0

You lost to west brom Fulham palace who are all lower in the table than hull haha

Agree0 Disagree0

But west brom and palace were away and Hull you were playing at home and you let in 3 goals against them! my god I'd be more worried about that than your obsession with Sunderland Mugpie!

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Sep 2013 15:48:22
Okay, iv supported Di Canio & the lads all the way but I'm now sick as fuk

Even if we turn the game around I still think PDC ain't doing us any favours, I will still support them till the end but is this the way forward, I'm not sure

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Results need to change

Newcastle lost to Hull at home, this is something we would normally cheer to but it does not excuse the fact that we are in no position to criticise other teams who have got more that 1 point

With or without PDC, results need to change

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Hi ed how much time will mr short give dicanio I think the peterbrough game if we don't win that I think he will walkaway.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed024's Note - Don't think PDC will walk then - he'd basically being turning his back on any type of career in football management - who would take him ? It's his team - he needs to get himself out of the hole.}

21 Sep 2013 17:17:57
PDC asked the fans at the end of game if they want him to stay

Mixed reaction

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Get rid. short is to blame. should never have brought in a untried premier manager.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Sep 2013 14:23:01
I am gutted that Heskey mark 2 has been dropped. You might actually win now.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

What's happening, not good enough, lpool man u nxt, no shots on target, Fletcher injured just gets better.

Agree0 Disagree0

As I suggested- but you declined to post- three weeks ago, we will be rock bottom, will have lost to the MAGs and sacked the manager before the end of October. Di Canio has plenty of passion, but unfortunately seems to have no more idea how to organise a football team than his predecessor. Hard to believe so much change could make so little difference, but we are still the worst team in the league.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Sep 2013 11:48:43
Does anyone know if David Vaughan travelled with the squad today?If he has then we can assume the post that has dominated the rumour page for a week is incorrect. That out of the way, good luck to the lads today, we should get something today and hopefully begin to pick up points. Chris-s.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Vaughan is missing from the squad. No reason cited as yet.

Agree0 Disagree0

Catts has taken his place

Agree0 Disagree0

Looks like the post about Vaughan was probably right, which leaves me totally downhearted now. Chris-s.
