2-2

Why won't this story go away?

Yeah it was noticeable how more players were getting forward.

Thought he was let down by Santon and Saylor tonight, overall our performance was good.

Why do we always shoot ourselves in the foot in big games

Fucking hell, that absolutely killed me and we're only 1/4 of the way through. Solid performance so far from the lads, impressive for most of it.

Why do you think that is?

pop it in the thread title at the end of the season

Whether the players will want to leave and at what stage is a bit of a red herring imo. We're shit, it's his fault.

Yeah, that's the case with everyone I speak to as well, outside of Newcastle. My faith in him is a lot less than it was, but I'm just willing to give him next season assuming we stay up. Both because of last season and for stability reasons. Fucking sympathising scum. (I would too) Only if he agrees to stop telling our best players to play shit though. The three amigos of sanity. The average mag on a horse doesn't spend his weekdays analysing performances in minute detail, therefore allows themselves to view the bigger picture. If forums such as this represented truly an average fans' view, supporting newcastle would be an even more depressing existence than it unfortunately is. As if minute detail is necessary to see that we're shit.

I'm 90% sure this is what we'll get next season.

Are you kidding me? I've questioned his real beliefs and whether it's just not an image he tries to put on. Because if he was what you are trying to make out he was and it interefered with his job he wouldn't have 5 black players he managed at Swindon playing for him regularly. I posted couple of questions, you didn't manage to answer one of them, enough man. You are trying to tell me that it's an assumption that his views hasn't interfered with his job even after I don't know how many years in professional football without getting into trouble associated with fascism except for the salutes. Get lost. I'm really not sure why you're being so confrontational to be honest. When did I try and make him out to be anything? Would you care to provide a quote? It IS an assumption that his views haven't interfered with his job, regardless of how many questions you ask me about his conduct.... Firstly core beliefs influence everything we do, and secondly why do you assume that they haven't interfered with his job just because you haven't heard about it? I'd argue that a persons beliefs and values would influence them in a myriad of ways, some of them very subtle. Last but not least, there's a news story that arguably confirms his beliefs have influenced his work anyway. When he had to apologise to someone for making a racist comment, while he was at work.

You've got absolutely no idea whether he's let his views interfere with his job or not. In fact, didn't you just agree that core beliefs influence everything we do?

Decency still exists on the SMB. That's a cracking post, has to be the best post ever made on there. Don't agree. People seriously needs to separate football from politics. What is a football club? What is politics? I've explained the reasoning behind this. A football club is driven like it's a company and not a political party. No one cares, if you are black, white, olive, pale, socialist, conservative, communist when it comes down to football. It's not the 50's or 60's anymore. I'm aware that there is politics in terms of company politics or what you want to call it, but that isn't the same typ of politics being discussed here. What is being discussed here is that a man who has a political view that hasn't interefered with his job is being considered as a disgrace to football. I think it's rather more a disgrace that they have signed a league one manager who clearly has had tons of problems at past clubs. But has he let his fascist view get in the way of his job as a football manager? I can't find any evidence of that. I'm not defending Di Canio, he should know more as an human being. But claiming he's a disgrace while we as a club have signed some thugs in the past and gotten away with it. Come sunday and they beat Chelsea no one is going to care if he's a fascist or not. Football is as fickle of a game as politics and it's pathetic at times. That's a massive assumption. Core beliefs influence everything we do and say, all the time, whether we're at work or not. No, a massive assumption is to suggest that his belief has any effect/impact on the world and the way we live. People need to try and get a larger perspective of things. You have made a massive assumption stating that his beliefs haven't interfered with his job, I'm saying that as human beings our core beliefs interfere with everything we do, at all times. I'd be interested to see you try and deny that. You've also falsely attributed an assumption to me. Correct, I'm not denying that though, because as of now Di Canio hasn't let his views interfere with his job. I don't care how much you want it to be true, but as of now you are talking utter bullshit and hypothetically. Has Di Canio fired all his players that do interfere with his supposed race policy? Has Di Canio done this at Swindon? Has Di Canio ever talked badly about a race? Has Di Canio by calling himself a fascist ever treated people worse at football clubs because they didn't agree with his views? After all the italian fascism wasn't an anti-semitic movement until they found an ally in Germany. Mussolini was and will be forever known as an opportunist. I doubt the man himself had any clear political views and rather only followed what he thought would help him consolidate his powers. I'd suggest some to read upon it before giving their opinions on matter they obviously know very little about. Di Canio for me is the same. He does what other people wants him to do, he's a puppet. I'm not questioning that his views are utter fucking ridiculous, I just don't agree with the witchhunt. I rather he failed for footballing reasons at that vile club than for people disagreeing with political views that he himself and the rest of the journalists in the UK seem to know very little about. Your first sentence is just the same assumption, again.

Don't want him back, he's rubbish.

bet they didnt expect this No one expects The Durham Mining Association.

I don't care one jot what fans of other clubs say tbh, besides getting it right on the pitch would soon shut them up.

It could conceivably be worse to be honest. The team won't play any better football, he'll run out of excuses and everyone will start to get restless. But at least change could be on the horizon. It'll end up being another season of transition, and we've seen far too many of those. He needs to be replaced as soon as the season ends.

We're not 3 points away from relegation due to injuries.
