Since he burst controversially within the Stadium of Light dugout, Paolo di Canio is box office. His knee sliding, air punching celebrations have endeared him to the Sunderland faithful but their latest press conference has placed him for the narrow, treacherous path as we head into the summertime transfer window.
His public shaming for the culture amongst the squad has pleased a large number of fans who have grown over season after season of mediocrity and regarding this year, dangerous flirting while using the bottom three. However it can be unlikely the players promote the fans enthusiasm.
In an explosive post match national gathering at White Hart Lane on Sunday, di Canio confirmed he fined seven players in the earlier week, something that the player's union, the PFA, have announced they will look into. Phil Bardsley is certain never to participate in for Sunderland again as soon as pictures of him included in money angered your Italian. Titus Bramble and Matt Kilgallon have likewise fallen foul of the fresh regime.
On the face from it there is little to mention against di Canio's maneuvers. He has inherited a gaggle of players who clearly have raised used to having an attractive easy life. Fitness and stamina were poor and by di canio's descriptions of what he's got found in his first so often, the level of professionalism with the club was incredibly poor.
In his outburst this individual spoke of two members who arrived 20 minutes late in a meeting and did not manage to care. He mentioned one gamer who declared himself not fit for training and rapidly switched his phone off so that it will be uncontactable by a club's medical staff. In the event that these stories are authentic, and there is small to nothing for di Canio in order to gain by lying, then there have been clearly serious problems for the club.
And yet, similarly to most things in modern day football, it is not that simple. By publicly slating don't just individuals but also the final culture at the tavern, di Canio has establish his stall out rather clearly. Those not willing to tow his line will not be welcome. The complexity inside the situation is the members. Those who are resistant to embrace the new methodology are usually on good contracts and not just that willing to leave in a very cut price deal. And having players waiting for a club where they're just not welcome is never a good situation.
There is also that probability that not all of those who do accept the changes can be good enough players to improve Sunderland. After all there does exist more to a good side than professionalism. Sunderland have lacked quality this coming year and if players like Stephane Sessegnon and Adam Johnson decide they just do not like the challenge of dealing with di Canio then bulk of what little quality there is will have gone.
Therefore, the challenge for the fiery Italian is considered one of balance. He must create an environment where unprofessional behaviour is not really tolerated whilst making Sunderland an attractive place not only for the people already at the club but also potential new signings. He must also stabilize the undoubted desire in the fans to see the complete scale revolution sweep the club with the practicalities of being the boss of a top flight football club. Whatever happens this summer season on Wearside I doubt it'll be dull.
