Cajun Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Depends on what your definition of proven is really? I think they could only attract the likes of Hughes, Curbishley etc and they're proven average at best. Tbh the whole time I had Lee Clark in my head It just seems a strange gamble for a Premiership club to take. Look at someone like Norwich with Hughton, he got us promoted, fair enough that sounds similar to PDC's job at Swindon but then was doing well in the Premiership, went down to the championship and did well again so Norwich approached him and he is doing a decent job there. Swansea appointing Laudrup, QPR Redknapp, Reading Adkinson, Southampton Pochettino etc.. Just seems a strange appointment based on limited experience in leagues a few levels down. I would be very concerned if I was a mackem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be very concerned if I was a mackem. It's not even the fact he's unproven. For me, if you appoint a Chrissy Hughton, he's a safe pair of hands. A steady Eddie. He's not going to slit his wrists and graffiti your office walls with his own blood and faeces because you told him a bid's been rejected. Di Canio is an absolute heed-the-ball. Full on mental. Timebomb. Irrespective of the relegation outcome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Interesting that they are going after someone they dont have to pay for too.. They wanted someone in quick so it was always going to be someone not working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I'd say the situation needs a cool-headed man of experience, so this is quite a gamble. I was surprised when Di Canio became a manager, and surprised again when he did well at Swindon. His image as a footballer didn't say manager in the making. Maybe there's a third surprise coming up, but I don't think so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Very mixed reaction to the suggestion a few months ago http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=763970 Sure a few in that thread will have changed their tune. I see our old friend Randy Savage agrees that he's a "fool and a rabid self-publicist." and "No self-respecting club should entertain him" Be interesting to watch the about face... Lots of them slagging him off here as well http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=723984 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ItalianMagpie Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Is the deal on yet? I don't like this though, he's inexperienced at this level but has a huge charisma and he's got the fire to kick them up the arse, it might be what the mackems need at this point, especially in the derby game. I would have prefered the likes of Hughes, Courbishley or McClaren (who'd have been great ). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Had a couple of pints with a few Sunderland season ticket holders today are they've bang up for Di Canio. They're not sure how good a manager he is but they reckon the whole place needs lifting and the doom and gloom of O'Neill needs shifting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
