I wouldn’t say that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentwalker Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I'd honestly take Di Canio at this stage just to inject something different. Might all end in tears but at least it would be entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found to be successful in any pursuit in life you have to look ahead as far as you possibly can and make a plan. For example when driving you look as far ahead as you can see on road. If you just look to end of bonnet you are in trouble. Think Wednesday have made this mistake with both recruitment of players and manager in recent times.

And if DC was willing to pay top dollar than surely he would have done this first time round, instead of buying these European nobodies? Too good to he true unfortunately I agree with this. If our financial situation is as bad as we're led to believe then surely Bruce would not come here. Sell our best players, try and keep us up, work with DC? I'm not buying it.

Athelwulf Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 3 hours ago, Flat Owl said: Another possible if not probable scenario is that JL has been advised his tenure is coming to a close and a new coach is coming in. JL as an honourable man and knowing he is in his last job in football, may have agreed contrary to tradition to 'stay in post' until that happens...this may explain his reticence in the dugout over the past few games with Bullen taking a more visible role? Excuse the ramblings of an old man.... No ramblings here. It's a distinct possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Has Di Canio even had a job since his last debacle !? On a serious note, I wouldn’t mind Carbone in the coaching set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d also love a charismatic charmer. I agree that the club does well traditionally with big personalities, our fans love that type of manager. Big Jack, Big Ron etc. I was just starting to warm to Carvalhal too when it became apparent he wasn’t as good a manager as he was with spending other people’s money. Think he would’ve made someone a good wife though. Assessed on his spending of others’ money obviously.

theowlsman Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 The changes going on in the background were first alluded to about three weeks ago by DBOwl by the way. I haven’t asked for an insight though as you lot would kill me. Nice lady though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animis Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 My reading on this is Jos was given a year's contract from 8th January 2018 with an option to extend, or it was a rolling deal with a simple notice period - say 1 or 3 months, which may have now been triggered. Either way I doubt JS will be sat in the dug out for the Birmingham game on New year's day, as we are likely to have appointed his successor.

Hopefully will be back in Holland eating strüdelwaffel and drinking mulled wine or whatever their equivalent of fish and chips is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've all gone on about people not wanting to work for DC. But I don't think it's been mentioned that it may be down to not wanting to sign a one-year contract.
