Bearing in mind outside the top 6 everyone is capable of beating anyone, we can only improve, and we have money to strengthen - allegedly - in January, the 33/1 for a top ten finish shown on the same site looks a far better value bet

that would be a disgrace. His man management skills are appalling, add to that his Fascist salute and he can do one

I would guess swindon town would suggest his man management skills are not appalling

but he hasnt...has he.

 

sturrock and ince did....they failed miserably

 

Don't most managers "fail" anyway?

 

Who'd have thought a manager who failed at WBA would then win the Champions League

 

Basically what I'm saying is that these type of comparisons are bollix. It's all about the individual and because of that I think Nigel is still the man for us.

They are pretty shocking though.

 

From their defeat on Tuesday he said:

 

"Once again, we have to thank some of our players for the mistakes they made. This time it's Alan McCormack, my captain."

"He lost three balls in a row, without being under any pressure."

"He's a player that should know what I want and it's things like that that will see us drop and drop."

 

Perhaps it's something that should be kept more 'in-house'.

in contrast, isn't it refreshing to hear exactly what he thinks rather than lots of nonsense. McCormack certainly wont do it again

pardew was brilliant with a similar record....despite spending more than evryone else put together

 

What the hell has Pardew go to do with Di Canio's man management skills?

So you think it would be good for him to come here and start doing the same thing to our players?

I have no idea....just I know IF..IF NA goes, then I can see why he would come here...but to jump 2 leagues in a 1'er is a recipe for disaster IMO

Di Canio has an ugly attitude and I find it difficult to look past his fascista status. Also tend to agree about his man-management 'skills' - his comments to the press about Swindon's players have been at best bizarre and at worst downright unprofessional (not to mention the numerous spats he's had with them during and after matchdays). I'd rather not think that his methods are the route to success, though I guess we'll see where Swindon end up come May.

Why can you see that he'd come here? A side from the obvious and lazy Italian link, why would we be interested in him and what would he bring which Adkins doesn't have.

 

Adkins has achieved way more as a manager, it would be completely bizarre to get rid of Adkins and replace him with Di Canio

because (if we are led to believe in such model fort the club)..he is a young and up and coming manager...I could see it...see it more than other suggestions..does not mean it is very likely..

as I could with carl robinson..or the link with di matteo in the summer....I would go as for as saying Poyet would be a good shout...

 

would not be my choice by the way

 

My order of preference (should it happen)

oh, and alan pardew had achieved way more than adkins at the time.............

If Adkins goes I would expect the replacement to have some experience managing in the PL or equivalent foreign league (La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga). Swapping one manager that needs time to learn the ropes at this level for another one would be a waste of time.

Can't see any of those three coming here as well as Di Canio. Nor would I want them here.

 

We already have a good manager who fits our model

nothing we can do about speculation... but why replace one young inexperienced unproven at this level manager, with another?????

 

for me it would have to be a real big name, proven prem manager to be worth changing from Nigel... and i would prefer we stick with Nigel - thick or thin.. for a lot longer...

I jokingly told a bloke at work first thing this morning Di Canio would be next manager

 

Next thing he's bookies favourite

 

I did also throw in Trappatoni, Maldini and any other Italian manager I could think of, didn't realise my comments would be taken so seriously !

Been great as a manager, seems like a grade A tosser though.

 

He'd prob get on with Cortese better than most.

 

That I doubt very much. First time NC hesitates on a signing or has to speak to Di Canio over something, and it will be a major tantrum, most probably played out in public.

Not sure this is completely correct, but there would appear to be some mileage in it.

 

If I'm correct - and I'm never wrong - it would appear that Di Canio is set to be named as Assistant Manager, whilst Redknapp comes in as manager. At least this is what Cortese told the taxi driver I was drinking Starbucks with this morning.

from 33-1 on wednesday to 4/6 today and he's over taken Redknapp at 4-1

 

There seems to be something going on here me thinks!

 

http://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/southampton-specials/next-permanent-manager

 

anyone fancy Le Tiss at 500-1?

 

There's nothing going on. What you've got is a tiny betting market responding to a few bets.

 

Plenty on here maintain that Cortese is an egotistical control freak. And he's supposed to be interested in bringing in another egotistical control freak as manager. Just doesn't seem likely.

The suggestion was that he was bringing in Di Canio, not Steve Grant.

i now live in Wiltshire and the Swindon fans i know don't like him, and do not like the way he treated the young keeper. He then went on and ridiculed the club in his interview, saying something about being only a L1 club

I don't see it myself though I admit to a penchant for Di Canio. He is an un reconstructed fascist and tends to say what he thinks. Instead of " it was the refs fault " or we have got injuries" he says it like it is. He was a classy player and is pure box office for Swindon and SKY whenever he opens his mouth.

 

Would love to see him telling some of our players to stop switching off and start playing like they are being paid a shedload of money as top professionals not to fall asleep from corners and so forth..."ow, Jos, you must-a not-a score-a da goal in a our net, anda stoppa give away da penalty or I drop-a you to kids team, you capisce? ;-) "

"eh, a danny, why you not mark-a da man?", "boruc, no be afraid like-a pansy boy, when da ball he come in da box you must-a be in charge and take-a control of it or a kick you in da ****** send you train with-a kids"....." A jose why you kick-a da ball far away to there-a player, why you no look-a to see where-a you-a kick it? Passa da ball to our player or i sub you anda make-a you train with the bambini team!

Oh i could have endless fun with this.

PS im allowed because im italian to take the P out of the accent so its not racist!

Post match interview:

"So Paulo, your first match in charge of Saints and a resounding 3-0 defeat, whats your take on that?

 

PDC: "My-a players they play a-**** again and-a tomorrow I am-a gonna put all of dem to transfer list but-a i know nobody will-a come for them because-a they all-a seen how sheet they are so I am-a stuck with dem, the useless communisti. But i will-a play the bambini team against Liverpool because i know dey will-a try harder not-a like the idiots that should be ashame to put on-a de shirt of southampton. I will-a play myself to-a show you. And if-a anyone gets past a me i just chop them up. Dats it. My-a players must-a show they are-a willing to die for da shirt or i will not-a pick them. From today match- nobody want to die. I will-a change that. Da team not scared-a to die will always beat da other team , even if have not so good player you capisce? "
