PAOLO DI CANIO has told any Sunderland player hoping for a quick getaway after Sunday's final game to cancel their flights - and revealed he will cut short their summer holidays if they don't produce an acceptable performance against Tottenham.

The Black Cats boss also revealed he has dished out seven fines over the last week and will continue to reprimand his players if they fail to adhere to the rules he has implemented since arriving at the club last month.

Sunderland's participation in next season's Premier League was confirmed on Tuesday after Wigan Athletic's 4-1 defeat at Arsenal, but Di Canio has warned there is still no room for complacency when they go to White Hart Lane.

The Black Cats were teetering on the brink of losing their top-flight status when Di Canio was appointed and having completed his first mission of keeping the club up, the fiery Italian will now embark on another mission, one he believes will be even more difficult.

Di Canio has already identified the mentality at the club as a major problem moving forward and although his mind has predominantly been on masterminding their survival over the past month, the Black Cats boss has already began the next phase of his revolution.

In past seasons players would normally be allowed to go their own way once the final game of the season has been played, but Di Canio has other ideas and has ordered the Sunderland squad to travel back to Wearside together on Sunday evening.

They will then spend a few days at the Academy of Light for debriefs and meetings, before they will be allowed to fly out on their summer holidays. On top of that, the Sunderland manager has also warned his stars they won't get their usual six-week holiday if their display in North London isn't up to scratch.

"It is crucial for me to see what happens on Sunday, and then I will decide when the players can go on holiday," he said.

"They will come back for a couple of days next week. I don't see professionalism if we fly down together on Saturday and then on Sunday they fly here and there.

"You can imagine their approach if that happens, we say from London you can fly where you want, Malta, Cyprus. It's not serious.

"If anybody has booked a holiday for Monday, they are going to lose some money. Why would they book a holiday on Monday? Why would they book a holiday before April 1? They are not being serious, they have to ask me. If they did it before it is wrong.

"They have 44 days holidays. The minimum I am obliged to give them is 28, four weeks. 44 days is incredible. They have already had 100 days probably. I don't want to say 28 because for the modern football generation they will say this is too tough.

"We will fly back together and say thank you to everyone. We could have some fun together and then they can go on holiday."

The squad has already felt the wrath of Di Canio after their 6-1 thrashing at Aston Villa, but the Italian has seen other problems away from the playing field he is unhappy with.

He said: "Other managers than Paolo Di Canio would have found this situation much more difficult. I kept us up, that was the mission when I came here.

"Behind the scenes there are many other problems, not just tactical. In the past five days I have given seven players fines. Seven, that has never happened before, for seven very bad things.

"I won't tell you the players' names, but every Friday morning we have a signing session upstairs. It is seven steps to climb. There are 20 items on the table to sign, but people forget.

"There is an item in the contract that says they must, it is crucial to the club. The children, the supporters, a shirt with 20 signatures it is important, but they forget. It's not fair. It happened many times before, but now they are fined because you have to start from somewhere or we're never going to change.

"It is small things, but many small things become a big problem. We have to respect the rules or we are never going to change."

Having been disgusted by some of his staff's reaction to Wigan's defeat to Swansea last week, Di Canio admitted he didn't celebrate the Latics' latest loss, but revealed he did take a late-night call from chairman Ellis Short.

"I didn't celebrate, it was difficult for me to celebrate. Obviously I was happy for Ellis and the people.

"When I received the call from the chairman at midnight I was very happy, I could hear in his voice, he sung me a song, it was amazing. I was laughing and smiling. It was fantastic. I believe in something special for him.

"I can't tell you what he was singing.... We have a chance to build something for the future. There will be different expectations, even when you work so hard, when a flower grows in front of you the first days are crucial. I work in this way."
