Sunderland chairman Ellis Short has
hailed the 'passion' of new boss Gus Poyet – just SIX months after
lauding the ‘passion’ of Paolo Di Canio.
It
was back in March that the Italian was unveiled at the Stadium of Light
amid a sea of controversy because of his self-confessed fascist
leanings.
Di Canio,
though, was billed as the man to save Sunderland by Short, the club’s
owner declaring that the new man was ‘passionate, driven and raring to
get started’.
Now, with the
firebrand Di Canio having been sacked following a brief and tumultuous
tenure, Short has wasted no time in praising the 'passion' of his
replacement, again stating ‘this is the right man to take us forward’.
Speaking
on Tuesday following Poyet’s appointment and ahead of his first press
conference at 2.30pm, Short said: ‘We analysed a wide range of
candidates and believe that Gus's track record, experience, commitment
and passion make him the right man to take us forward.
