Paolo Di Canio has vowed to carry on hammering his players in public if they make errors.
Di Canio drew surprise with his criticism of his skipper John O’Shea, whose mistake at Fulham a fortnight ago.
But believes a hard-line stance is needed and said: “Harry Redknapp did many interviews last year and no one asked why he said his team was playing rubbish. Why is it only Paolo Di Canio?
“Maybe after three or four games a player will moan about the gaffer and say, “Oh, it’s tough”. The common theory is that there are big egos and if you upset them you have problems and they get upset.
“Butmy relationship with my players is closer than you think. It means that I can point the finger straight away and say, ‘For your level, it is rubbish’.
“You think the new generation is weak? I say if they are weak they cannot play football at this level. It is natural selection.”
DiCanio has also been studying Sir Alex Ferguson’s speech on management at Harvard University and he brandished a four-page print out during hispress conference yesterday.
He added: “Here. Sir Alex Ferguson. Point No.4. Never, ever cede control. This is Paolo Di Canio. This is why I’m at top level.”
