Ever the pessimist Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I thought we beat West Ham 3-0 the season we got relegated Nearly. 3-1. One down at half time, then came back at them. Think Cresswell scored, and Hinchcliffe with a 30 yarder. Gave us a brief bit of optimism, then we won't to the only team worse than us that season, Watford, and lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshfish Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Wouldn't want him anywhere near us as manager. His Chairman was on Radio Five a few weeks ago, saying he's a million miles away from the finished article, and is just about at his level, at the moment. He reckons Swindon have a low profile, and Di Canio gets away with stuff there, he simply wouldn't get away with higher up the league/at a bigger club, because he isn't on the national radar down there at Swindon. FRom what I've seen he's a bit of a loose canon, who needs to get a grip. Maybe because the Chairman knows he will never, ever, ever get anyone the same quality or personality as him at Swindon, he decides to 'muddy' the waters. I would have him at S6 in a moment...but we have a manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest totemowl Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I'd be quite happy to risk di Canio here as manager. Behind the hothead, ultra right wing, immature exterior (media profile), is a passionate, intelligent, man motivator, at least judging by what he's achieved at Swindon so far. He seems to understand what success is all about and could be an inspired choice. He knows the club. Of course, i'd want to interview him just to make sure he's not too risky!

Owl in Nottingham Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 pdc never brought any success to our club. Tallented footballer but his teams always seemed to be close to relegation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 pdc never brought any success to our club. Tallented footballer but his teams always seemed to be close to relegation Really? It hardly got much better without him did it? When Atkinson was the manager results with Di Canio in the team were good. Wilson couldn't manage him and masterminded our downfall. Some have said Di Canio hardly helped matters in terms of wanting out of the club. This may be true but had the club supported him I think he would have stayed until the end of the season, he has rarely left any club of his own accord mid-campaign. If he did want away it was because he could see that the manager who got the best out of him at Hillsborough had been spitefully sacked and had been replaced by someone who was out of his depth. I don't think now would be a good time for him to be our manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 helps when you have a fanbase of 50 million.we may have had a side that could give em a run for there money but we never matched them as a club . I don't think we could've matched them but my point is we stood still rather than acting just as football really got going money wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maple Staple Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Can you just imagine Di Canio going head to head / toe to toe with JJ if he ever subbed him. Would be worth the admission price alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormOwl Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 This thread has some classic made up poo pooe And that's by Owlstalk's standards THAT is how bad this thread is... Hold on a minute, am I missing something here. My memory recalls our best player needlessly pushing over a granted tail of a ref, getting themself a 11 match ban. He then went on the run to Italy and vowed to return for the fans. The same fans he took the puss out of after beating us. If my memory is incorrect and it wouldn't be the first time, what have I missed the treatment from our club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth....and not the made up 'facts' from the club. The lack of public and internal support for a player who was also a valuable commodity. The lack of support because Dave Richards had his eye on the FA job....so so so many things that you've missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Leon clarke may be a bell end (well is a bell end), but there's no way his ego would publically clash as much at any of the other clubs he's been at. Because of this clash swindon lost a player who would have tore up league 2. They got a little lucky in the sense that he did well at Chesterfield and Charlton were in lets go Billy Davies on the striker front so they got Benson, otherwise it could have cost them many goals Yeah - Di Canio really fucked up with Leon didn't he? Really knocked his promotion campaign for six by booting Leon out.... When, in fact it was textbook handling of a bad influence - kick out the bad attitude and watch the team soar while the miscreant player scrubs around trying to find his feet somewhere that will accept a huge ego allied to small talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok thanks for that, maybe living outside of the area It's more difficult to pick up the truth, especially back then. But is it a case of blame the reaction and not the perpetrator, also who provided the truth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
