Too Many Lbs Will Cost Pounds!

If anyone has pilled on the pounds when they report back to pre-season training they’ll be suffering a reduction in the pounds of the money kind as a result!

Paolo Di Canio was quick to question the “fitness and attitude” of his players following his arrival as manager last season and they already know that they will be in trouble if they return to pre-season overweight.

The players have a programme that they should have followed, if they have they’ll be fine, if not they’ll be punished. Di Canio said: ‘Obviously the players have a programme to follow so that they are ready when pre-season begins.

‘When we start, we will start not that heavy, but there will still be a great deal to do and they have to be ready.

‘It’s normal in the Premier League, that players get punishment for breaking rules set down by the club.’

Best not have spent too many nights on the tiles then boys!
