Paolo Di Canio tells several 'ignorant' and arrogant' players they will not play for Sunderland again The defender, left out of the squad on Sunday, along with Matthew Kilgallon, who accompanied him, denied alcohol was involved but Di Canio raged: "I discover... I saw the picture on a website, the moment later, of the night that they spent out so what do I have to tell you? He's out of my squad. It's obvious. How I can play a player that probably is blurry for three, four days after what's happened. More important I want to deliver very clear message I wanted to deliver since the beginning that there is not excuse to behave like he did, because Wigan lost the game, now we stay up, otherwise every time we are going to beat Man United what are we going to do? Or after every Newcastle game? What are we going to do, spend two nights out because we are happy? I can understand if we win a Champions League or maybe an FA Cup. Di Canio went on: "This is what I've found in the last few weeks so we have to change completely. It will be hard if I don't receive the maximum support from the board because I know every time you know that the player will go to the PFA (Professional Footballers Association), the PFA will call then you have to let them speak and try to explain why. They excuse people that behave like Phil Bardsley. It was a clear misconduct. Di Canio said he would meet with Sunderland owner Ellis Short. "We are going to sit at the table and go through but he knows many things," he said. I spoke to him before by telephone and he told me we are going to change many things. This is what he told me before. So it sounds like he supports me completely. Di Canio also claimed he had performed a "miracle" in avoiding relegation after succeeding Martin O'Neill. It is understood that Di Canio has fined seven Sunderland players in the past week and told them they will not play for the club again.
