Since he burst controversially on the Stadium of Light dugout, Paolo di Canio has been box office. His knee sliding, air punching celebrations have endeared him to your Sunderland faithful but her latest press conference has placed him for a narrow, treacherous path as we head into the the summer months transfer window.
His public shaming with the culture amongst the squad has pleased many fans who have grown sick and tired of season after season of mediocrity and regarding this year, dangerous flirting while using bottom three. However it truly is unlikely the players write about the fans enthusiasm.
In an explosive post match meeting at White Hart Lane on Sunday, di Canio confirmed he had fined seven players in the last week, something that this player's union, the PFA, have announced they are going to look into. Phil Bardsley is almost certain never to play for Sunderland again as soon as pictures of him protected in money angered the Italian. Titus Bramble and Matt Kilgallon also have fallen foul of the revolutionary regime.
On the face than it there is little to mention against di Canio's techniques. He has inherited several players who clearly have grown used to having a pretty easy life. Fitness and energy level were poor and by di canio's descriptions of what bigger found in his first so often, the level of professionalism at the club was incredibly lower.
In his outburst this individual spoke of two game enthusiasts who arrived 20 minutes late for the meeting and did not apparently care. He mentioned one person who declared himself unfit for training and rapidly switched his phone off so that it will be uncontactable by your club's medical staff. In the event that these stories are a fact, and there is very little to nothing for di Canio to get maximum by lying, then there have been clearly serious problems in the club.
And yet, when it comes to most things in modern day football, it is not that simple. By publicly slating but not just individuals but also the general culture at the clb, di Canio has specify his stall out extremely clearly. Those not able to tow his line may not be welcome. The complexity inside situation is the game enthusiasts. Those who are hesitant to embrace the new methodology are often on good contracts and not just that willing to leave in the cut price deal. And having players waiting for a club where they are not welcome is never a very good situation.
There is also a probability that not all those who do accept the changes can be good enough players to enhance Sunderland. After all there's more to a fantastic side than professionalism. Sunderland have lacked quality shock as to and if players such as Stephane Sessegnon and Adam Johnson decide they do not like the challenge of working with di Canio then the majority what little quality there's will have gone.
So the challenge for the fiery Italian is probably balance. He must create a setting where unprofessional behaviour is not really tolerated whilst making Sunderland an attractive place not only for the already at the club but potential new signings. He must also balance the undoubted desire of the fans to see the full scale revolution sweep the club with the practicalities of being in control of a top flight football team. Whatever happens this summer on Wearside I doubt it's going to be dull.
