Di Canio

[BladeFisher]

if he brings Rommel and von Mannstein then i'd have him

Doenitz is the man. Superb Admiral.

Di Canio would be the last straw for me - i'll be giving up on United for the foreseeable if this happens

Di Canio is a poor manager and a complete twat.

Well a 56% win ration at Swindon does not indicate a poor manager.

What Di Canio is, is an autocratic manager and given his political beliefs, which I have no problem with, this is hardly surprising.

He wants total control, but then he has to take total responsibility. In some ways he would be like Weir, inflexible and what he needs to do is find a club and take it to the top. I don't think that club is Sheffield United.

Interesting comment from Steve Bruce.

"You've got to be able to manage individuals. Man management has become more relevant in my experience than coaching. Once you get yourself in the Premier League, they're all good players and you've got to find a way of getting the best out of them."

Yeah perhaps David Weir might pick up on this, since he is clearly not getting the best out of his players.

So if he did something like this at Bramall Lane...

He didn't do badly at Swindon, but they had money to spend, and he managed to alienate several of his players by publicly slating them for their mistakes. Takes the credit when things are going well, but when it goes pear-shaped it's never his fault.

Probably, but I did say he was autocratic! And I am not aware he has given a fascist salute whilst employed as a manager. If he was a communist I suspect that would not be a problem then?

If we had a manager who achieved the same percentages as he did at Swindon, we wouldn't be relegated.

He sees things as very black and white and he is passionate. Good luck to him. He just needs to find a club/culture that he is comfortable with. In the UK I'd say that's probably Millwall!

So, I think it's agreed.

We'd rather stick with an inexperienced dickhead, who has shown by his return so far this season that the method of football he had brought to Bramall Lane is unworkable, he can't motivate the players when they go behind and furthermore, offers paltry excuses when interviewed post-match. Rather than an ex-pig (we've been here before) man of dubious political affinity (since when has that ever much mattered) and someone who would at least show the crowd that the buck stops at the manager's table (as he was showing the Mackems on Satdi)?

Don't get me wrong - DiCanio is a volatile motherfucker and there's plenty more wrong with him, albeit in small handfuls. But I'd take Hitler over Weir at the moment if the goals started flying in and we climbed out of what seems certain relegation to the bottom tier of English League Football.

Hes only doing an impression of the Derek Dooley statue in the car park?

Di Canio got a lot of respect from me for that gesture on saturday and for his post match comments. The trouble is the relationship with your staff is pivitol, and I suspect whilst he may have been correct, that the performance was unacceptable, it his and his staff's capability at communication and motivation that would have been a major part of that process. How much what he was communicating was not getting through only a fly on the wall would know but clearly something wasn't happening.

A bit like what's happening at Bramall Lane really.

 

[ScoobBlade]

I wouldn't have di Canio anywhere near my club, some people never liked Wilson due to his Wednesday connections but Danny conducted himself impeccably during his time at the lane, di Canio aside from being an ex pig would do nothing but embarrass the club from his first day to his last,

 

[vorpal blade]

Inevitable after or before he manages Wet Sham he'll be at our friendly neighbourhood fascists;

 

[KenMcnaughtsNuts]

To put into context what he did at swindon, they spent shedloads of money and were favourites to win the league. He did ok, but he also upset a lot of players and fans whilst he was there. In the first few months people wanted him out cos they were struggling and he was ranting and raving at all his players. Plenty of other managers could have done just as well with the resources they had and not caused quite so much of a circus in the process. Anybody who employs him would be taking a huge risk. Could do well, or could cause the entire club to implode. Is that really what we need right now??

Yes, the best comment I read, before he took the Mackam job was 'management by hand grenade'.

Did you design the iOS 7 ?

No

 

[Ashtonsmashton]

Yeah I get the message

Millwall are perhaps a little too far to the right even for this guy.

Di Canio? Are you on glue?

Seriously, no thank you, although he would certainly make sure the players got to training on time....

You mean those players that hadn't already 'revolted'?

Go the whole hog and get Giovanni Gentile in.
