I'm gutted about this as I actually like Di Canio as a man. It seems just yesterday that Sunderland fans were singing his name at the 3-0 victory they recorded over Newcastle. I think that Di Canio has some things to answer for given the way he's spent money over the summer but it's not really his fault that he was given the job? Sunderland fans need to look further than Paulo to see the reason why they are in the shit. Their board hired and in-experianced manager from the lower leagues and allowed him as much money as he wanted to blow. His attitude can't be used as an excuse either as it's been obvious ever since he came to England that he's a bit of a loose cannon - you simply don't sign Di Canio and expect him to get along with everyone 24/7.
Wish him all the best, top character. Apparantly he fell out with the whole of the team this morning and that was the final straw.
