Description

Much of Di Canio's anger was directed at Phil Bardsley, who was pictured lying on the floor of a casino covered in £50 notes after Wigan Athletic lost to Arsenal last Tuesday, assuring Sunderland's survival. The defender was subsequently left out of Di Canio's squad for Sunday's game at Tottenham, which Sunderland lost 1-0. Di Canio said that the mentality he has encountered at Sunderland is worse than that of League One side Swindon, who he managed before taking charge at the Stadium of Light. "I have to tell you unfortunately I found a worse environment in terms of discipline in this club. This is what I've found in the last few weeks so we have to change completely," he said.
