It's fair to say that it's been a rollercoaster few years for Sunderland, who are now playing their football in League One. 

The Black Cats had previously been playing their football in the top-flight, before dropping into the second tier after a poor 2016/17 campaign in the top-flight.

One manager that certainly caught the eye in more than one way was Paolo Di Canio, who was appointed as the Black Cats' manager back in March 2013.

Plenty of Sunderland fans took to Twitter to issue their thoughts on Di Canio's time with the club.
