thegaffer Posted 18 May, 2011 Posted 18 May, 2011 Not sure if its been mentioned elsewhere.http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/18052011/58/premier-league-di-canio-close-returning-england.html
Deano6 Posted 18 May, 2011 Posted 18 May, 2011 I'd treat him pretty much the same way as manager of any other rival team in Southampton's division. Quite liked the guy when he played, even if he did terrorise us at the Dell one evening with Sheff Weds beating us (3-2?) and all their fans singing Dee-Eye-Canio. That was when they had Carbone too, and Regi Blinker.
thegaffer Posted 18 May, 2011 Author Posted 18 May, 2011 What about if he was offered a coaching role here? Not out of the realms of possibility what with Cortese's Italian influence.I'd treat him pretty much the same way as manager of any other rival team in Southampton's division.

Wes Tender Posted 18 May, 2011 Posted 18 May, 2011 He's only attempting to get the job at West Ham because he has a Hammer's tattoo.
Jack Posted 18 May, 2011 Posted 18 May, 2011 Do we need another coach? I reckon our current ones did a satisfactory job this season
thegaffer Posted 18 May, 2011 Author Posted 18 May, 2011 I think somebody with charisma of Di Canio would be an asset to the club and also would attract better players to the club who would love to work with him.Do we need another coach? I reckon our current ones did a satisfactory job this season
dronskisaint Posted 18 May, 2011 Posted 18 May, 2011 What about if he was offered a coaching role here? Not out of the realms of possibility what with Cortese's Italian influence. What's he won? Who has he coached? He's just looking for a highly paid job using his connections at West Ham...don't blame him for that but can't see what he can offer us.
Supersubpuckett Posted 18 May, 2011 Posted 18 May, 2011 Fin with me if he was here to help with the coffee's at half time
Matthew Le God Posted 18 May, 2011 Posted 18 May, 2011 Di Canio is a fascist. How would that be good for dressing room harmony at Saints? I don't want him anywhere near the club! Nor should anyone else... In his autobiography he praised Mussolini as "basically a very principled, ethical individual" who was "deeply misunderstood".

He could be trying to hail a cab while in a rather bad mood?
Ewell Posted 18 May, 2011 Posted 18 May, 2011 Do you honestly think that putting our club in an unstable position when we have had our first sniff of stability since Gordon Strachan was manager would be a good idea? Sometimes I have to wonder what people are thinking.
dubai_phil Posted 18 May, 2011 Posted 18 May, 2011 Tony Pulis has left the building. Clearly there is an opening for a new waterboy. But not Di Canio. He clearly lacks any brain whatsoever if he feels he can get a job back in the UK ever having put himself in a position to have been photographed like that. Mind you lack of brain didn't seem to stop Avram & Nottreal having a career so yes, clearly a shoe in as Nottrea;'s next replacement at Nott Arf. Would fit right in
ToreSF Posted 18 May, 2011 Posted 18 May, 2011 He was a very professional guy on the pitch and on the training ground. And he has a winning mentality. The main argument against him is that he probably wants to rule the show as a manager.

ericb Posted 18 May, 2011 Posted 18 May, 2011 Fascist scum can **** off, and don't split hairs about him being in the Italian fascist mould and not the Nazi, they're all ****ing scum and not welcome in southampton.

Dimond Geezer Posted 18 May, 2011 Posted 18 May, 2011 No. I Liked him as a player, but he's fascist & proud of it. Whether Italian, Nazi or BNP mong, we are all better of without them.
saint.tom.clancy Posted 18 May, 2011 Posted 18 May, 2011 I'd love to see him here, huge fan. Not sure we need him though.
hypochondriac Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 No. I Liked him as a player, but he's fascist & proud of it. Whether Italian, Nazi or BNP mong, we are all better of without them. Bit harsh to lump Italian in with Nazi and bnp members!
70's Mike Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 NO unless we are selling pasta in concourses next season
Dimond Geezer Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 Bit harsh to lump Italian in with Nazi and bnp members! Not at all, a fascist is a fascist.
Miltonaggro Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 Don't be too hasty. Di Canio and Nick Griffin could be the 'hosts' at half time, whipping the SMS faithful into a frenzy in the tradition of Nuremberg and Munich. They could then host a penalty shoot out with the spot moving farther away depending on your ethnic group or sexuality, for example John Terry would be an inch from the goal-line, Justin Fashanu would be in Bevois Valley. Just a thought...
Saint Stimp Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 No, purely based on the fact that my former housemate thought he was better than Le Tiss.
Ken Tone Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 Bit harsh to lump Italian in with Nazi and bnp members! Not really. See for example http://pricegraphicarts.tripod.com/WorldWideTerrorism/id52.htm Mussolini's Italian fascists also committed major atrocities, especially in Ethiopia. And in any event anyone giving a fascist salute in modern times has to be aware that by doing so they are effetively allying themselves to the whole Nazi movement.
saintedwill Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 no place for fascists in football - that's why he's going to Swindon
MrMojoRisin Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 Where did Barrymore get the tan? I think it was when he was sunbathing around his pool with Stuart Lubbock...... Hang on a minute!
View From The Top Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 Top player but iffy politics although not particularly unusual for polarised Italy. A number of Italian teams are fascist or communist.
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 Top player, and having read his book, top bloke. Loves his Mums Tiramisu. Don't need him on the bus right now though.
Eastcowzer Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 Depends what he'd be doing really. Yes, for the 'entertainment' value. Think of all the opportunities he would have had with all the incompetent referees we've had at SMS over the last two, or three seasons.
Saintandy666 Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 No, never. Just no. He isn't welcome at Southampton.
doddisalegend Posted 20 May, 2011 Posted 20 May, 2011 Going to be the new Swindon manager according to the Beeb http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13466915.stm
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 20 May, 2011 Posted 20 May, 2011 No, never in this lifetime. The 'man' is a complete neanderthal scumbag throwback and has no place in modern society. If he wants to emu;late his hero 'Il Duce', he should bugger off and hang himself from a lamp-post.
pingwing Posted 20 May, 2011 Posted 20 May, 2011 Cool another reason to just hate Swindon that little bit more
Deppo Posted 20 May, 2011 Posted 20 May, 2011 Di Canio is a "a fascist but not a racist". Fred West is "a murderer but not a killer".
RonManager Posted 20 May, 2011 Posted 20 May, 2011 (edited) D*ck Anyo? Plumber, lives down our street - free estimates. Edited 20 May, 2011 by RonManager Swear filter's on form!!
JonnyLove Posted 20 May, 2011 Posted 20 May, 2011 (edited) So it's Di Canio at Swindon then. Wow did not see that happening. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13466915.stm Never Mind. Just realised how late I was. That will teach me to spend all night playing xbox Edited 20 May, 2011 by JonnyLove being a late to the news ****
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 20 May, 2011 Posted 20 May, 2011 It's almost definitely going to end in controversy.
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 20 May, 2011 Posted 20 May, 2011 It's almost definitely going to end in controversy. To be honest, having had a pub in Swindon for two years, I think Di Canio might be a bit too left-wing for the majority of the locals. Just saying, mind.
Leslie Charteris Posted 20 May, 2011 Posted 20 May, 2011 The only place I'd have preferred to see him pop up as manager is P*mpey. Somehow, I think they would have suited each other.
saintedwill Posted 20 May, 2011 Posted 20 May, 2011 To be honest, having had a pub in Swindon for two years, I think Di Canio might be a bit too left-wing for the majority of the locals. Just saying, mind. having lived here for four years, i think you're right! Which pub?
