Paolo Di Canio Says 8 Points In 7 Games Was A Miracle

In his post-match press conference after the loss to Spurs on Sunday, Paolo Di Canio declared that what he had done at the club was a miracle.

Sunderland were sitting in 16th place on 31 points when he was appointed and finished the season on 39 points in 17th place. They managed two wins, against Newcastle and Everton in that time along with draws against Stoke and Southampton.

I'm no religious expert but I'm pretty sure that would not qualify as a miracle.

Several members of the Sunderland squad have made complaints to the PFA after Di Canio fined seven players two weeks wages.
