Obviously a bit of a nutter with questionable political views, but you have to look at the players as well. He described them as having heads 'full of sh1t' and at least he was prepared to speak his mind. Di Canio, for all his faults, was always a hard working trainer and player, so probably sees these young players for what they are......overpaid preening prima donnas. Just watch out Sunderland....Tony Pulis is on his way!!!
He is a nutter, but once again it seems that the "prima donnas" - the players - are taking over control of football.
They will be picking the manager next and sacking him if they don't like him
The problem is, despite what was said above, you can't actually sack the players because then you'd have no players.
So when they revolt, like it or not, as Chelsea and others have found, it's a powerful force.
