Dokko Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Ignoring the fact he is a fascist, what exactly has he done to be highly rated in football as a manager? http://i50.tinypic.com/2yysf7l.jpg He was appointed after Swindons relegation to League 2. Couldn't have done much better really. Swindon were massive favourites, I'm sure the season before they went from 1 to 2 they just missed out on promotion to the championship. Piss easy basically, no test for a manager. If he saves the mackems from relegation it's easily the biggest thing he's done in his managerial career. Is that what you want for a relegation scrap? It's a massive gamble, I don't see the logic in it at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very good record all things considered so maybe, but I see what you're saying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 DiCanio is an even shitter appointment than McClaren, wow, this is totally stupid of them. This really is like appointing souness after bobby, one extreme to another, can't see anything but a total disaster. Also it's no wonder IIA have decided to end their sponsorship while Milliband moves to New York But this is much, much worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Swindon are an upper level League One club with the potential to be a Championship side, it was bizarre (and hilarious considering the arrogance their fans displayed to other L1 clubs) when they got relegated from L1 (they were one of the favourites for promotion that year). Their attendances and budget oustripped all of League Two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 @CaulkinTheTimes Di Canio announcement could well be before close of play tonight. Will be contracted beyond the rest of this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Can see him having a half decent honeymoon period with them, just because he was a class player and has an outspoken personality, which the players will respect him/look up to him for. However he is the kind or person who will fall out with the board and players in the mid-long term, making him a very unsuitable candidate for the job, especially when continuity is something they have lacked for a long time now...

MyPalAl Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Am I the only one who thinks he will do a good job for them? Probably. What you basing it on? Dunno really. He was a canny player (I know thats not a blueprint for a good manager), and I thought he had done canny with Swindon (I know, I know). I just think he will get them organised, and play players in their correct positions, which party pants was slated for.

NG32 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Get players to enjoy their football is the way to keep their attention. So many headcase, tough man, rigid formation managers, goes right over their heads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he will go on to be a good manager but it definitely seems a strange gamble, especially with him being a bit of a nutter. Surely a club their size could have gotten a more proven manager.

Tooj 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're throwing him into a relegation battle with some big egos. He's got no experience managing players like this either. He will inevitably fall out with players early doors. MON despite being s****, was at least respected within the game and you assume his own players. Who is going to respect Di Canio? I dunno, If I'm a Sunderland player now I dont think i'd be particularly impressed knowing this Knobhead is coming in. Was it Di Canio who subbed that young keeper after half an hour or something too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Di Canio man I suppose they're trying something different, but I seriously doubt it's the right kind.

Minhosa Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Interesting to see how it pans out in the summer, providing they stay up, as PDC was known as having a revolving door at Swindon with players in/out all of the time. This hardly smacks of sustainability nor an ability to get the best from an average squad rather an apparent acceptance that he'll have dosh to spend on an already overpaid, overrated and underperforming squad. Shorts credentials have to be seriously questioned in terms of the commercial rationale of bringing PDC in. It just smacks of being short-termist. Seriously, if I was a mackem (shudder at the thought..........), I'd be wondering just what the long term plan is for them, what is the vision and how the fuck are the numbers going to look in a couple of years? PDC could have an argument in an empty room. There's nothing long term, considered or rational about employing him for the long term. Yes, he might rile a few no-hopers into a performance or two but, should they survive, then what? Loads of players out, loads of fallouts, loads of bad morale and then start again. Money grows on tree's in Wearside clearly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
