safcftm wrote:Well, safe to say I’m gutted. Just sick of football nowadays to be honest. Short appointed Di Canio, he knew what he was like and apparently seemed happy to have someone who wouldn’t take any shit off a bunch of underperforming players. Short changed the whole set-up, moving to a Director of Football model where Di Canio identifies the kind of player he wants and the Director of Football goes and finds one. And now after 12 league games, 5 games into this season, the bloke’s been sacked because the players have “stood up” to him. What a fucking joke. Not one of those players have earned the right to have any say in who manages us, hell a lot of them are that shit they’ve now seen off their 3rd manager. When will the owner realise the problem might not be the manager? Apparently pisshead, constantly injured Cattermole was one of two who initially stood up to him, mint, the fucker was wanted by Nottingham Forest last week, he’s fucking shite. The other was John O’Shea, obviously annoyed that his easy money retirement home wasn’t as cushy as he’d wanted, he’s fucking shit anarl.
The players don’t like someone, out he goes. Let’s just ask the players who they want in charge then. No doubt they’ll want some wanker like Di Matteo who can be their mate and let them do as they please. Di Canio wasn’t without fault, he was making mistakes, but 5 fucking league games? I’ve had enough with modern football, prima donna players even at a club like ours where, to a man, they’re shit. An owner who has overseen the systematic selling of any good players (without any sort of a fight). A “CEO” who is so out of her depth it’s frightening. And a manager who has been made the fall guy. We were shit last season – our best player (Mignolet) is sold and not replaced, our next best player (Rose) goes back to Spurs and isn’t replaced, Sessegnon is sold and we get Ki and Borini. Di Canio asks for an English central midfielder that can pick a pass, Huddleston is deemed too expensive and gets away, he ends up being given Cabral who is shit and has already been stuck in the reserves. Guardiola would struggle to do anything with our fucking mob, a bunch of wankers, wasters and a squad full of freebies, fillers and general shite.
Well, the players have got what they want, now we can choose from one of several shite, boring managers. We’ll go down anyway, because we’re shite, and to be absolutely honest I’m very much struggling to give a fuck anymore, football is fucked. Finally we had someone who worked hard, who appreciated how lucky he was to be in his position and who wanted to give us a team to be proud of and the overpaid wankers we couldn’t shift have stabbed him in the back. Fucking stupid sport anyway. Yay, lets get Di Matteo, Poyet, McClaren or fucking Tony Pulis, fuck off, hope they get 5 games anarl and if its Pulis then Ellis Short can stick me season ticket up his Texan hoop
Top class rant.
I reckon you'll get di Matteo, what with him being Italian and all. He's a better manager than di Canio to be honest and you'll be better off with him imo. So cheer up mate.

Di Matteo is a soft, soppy wanker, the players would take the utter piss out of him, I'm sick of these bloody managers, most of them aren't any "better" than each other, some of them just get lucky. Never liked Di Matteo with his shit eating grin and his arm round the shoulder approach, couldn't give a fuck if he's won the Champions League, I've decided he's a dick and I want Di Canio back . I'd rather have him than Pulis like, but thats like saying I'd rather be fucked up the arse by a 6 inch cock than a 16 inch one, I'd much rather not have either.

Absolutely. Actually when I think about it maybe di matteo is perfect for the mackem players - he allowed chav players to run the club when he was inn charge down there and if the sunderland players want to call the shots there like safcftm says, then they will be well pleased with do matteo How this peanut headed c*** is considered a good manager is beyond me - he was clearly not the power man at the chavs so winning the champs league had fcuk all to do with him
I think that they will go for Di Matteo as he is the easy option. However I think that Poyet would be the better option for them. However in the end I think that they will be doomed whoever replaces Di Canio. I just don't see enough quality in the squad. I think the only hope they will have is to plug away until the transfer window opens, then buy some some decent players and hope it is not too late.
saftm clearly knows his club better than us, but, whatever the players are like, some of the things di Canio has said would piss off any squad of players and then to play charades at 40 paces with the fans (fuck off is two syllables by the way) suggests medication is in order.
However, as so often, the blame should go to the billionaire, know-nothing, di Canio/Warnock/Redknapp/Hughes/etc etc appointing owners, who take clubs whose loyal fans pay through the nose and follow through seasons of pain and heartache and turn them into their own personal ego trips.
I'm sure SilentStan sits there with his Ozil shirt on, no trousers, a copy of our accounts on the table, a programme in one hand and his cock in the other (that's if he can remember which one of his sporting Viagra substitutes we are.
Politics don't interest me in football, if he was a Nazi I'd be uneasy like but he was a follower of Italian fascism, not the same thing at all, a roman salute is not the same as a Nazi one.

Okee dokee, my bad. Not gonna fall out over it pal.
Still, he smacks of somethingbadism.
Go get Steve Clarke or, you can have lord and master wAnger for a kings ransom. (he can bring NB52/23 with him) frapper.
Whatever happens this season, there are other clubs I would prefer to see get relegated than yours.
Fond memories of Roker Park and FA cup games there, in fucking blizzards too.
If we could have Wenger I'd ***** myself into a coma. Alas, we'll get some shite wanker who will do a crap job. Obviously I rather hope we stay up as well but we're a bloody dull mob at the minute, shit footballers, shit board, shit decisions, sell our "good" players, buy a load of plodders. We're on our way down and at present I don't think we'd be missed. At least we'll win some games and take over some silly little towns in the championship I suppose
Still don't like the players though. If, as is suggested in the article, they'd have "ran through brick walls" for Martin O'Neill there was very little evidence of it when he was there. They've got their cushy lives back because they ran to Margaret Byrne who is hideously out of her depth at the cutting edge of running a football club.
I thinks it's disgusting that players can have such an influence on the managers job. A players job is to play football at the best of their ability every single time the manager wants them to, and that is it. Players throwing hissy-fits because the manager made it known to them that they played shit is just wrong, and threatening to refuse to play is just selfish towards the fans who are ultimately paying their wages.
