Its been ages since I read it but Im sure he mentions about it was full of shops borded up or something...maybe PDC lived in Page Hall. Sorry about that. Yes, he did mention full of shops boarded up - think he stated it was the first impression he got as he drove into the city for the first time rather than giving the impression that the whole place is a dump - think you have taken it too much to heart to be honest.

SiJ Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Paulo DiCanio brings his award-winning show. Listen as Paulo tells stories from his playing days, interspersed with far-right rhetoric. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember away at Spurs (we won 3-0). The warm up was worth the cost of the trip, Carbone and DiCanio doing tricks between themselves was a joy to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitechapel Owl Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I find it interesting how the infamous incident always gets compared with the Cantona thing. Don't forget, Ferguson immediately suspended Cantona for the rest of the season (it happened in January), the FA later increased it to 8 months. Di Canio got an 11 match ban by the FA, and was allowed to spend time in Italy by Wednesday but he failed to return when his ban ended. These are Andy Hinchcliffe's thoughts from when it happened, and bear in mind this is Hinchcliffe, a former player that doesn't exactly go out of his way to compliment the club: With sections of the media and public outraged, Sheffield Wednesday and their manager Danny Wilson found themselves at the centre of a scandal. "It was all anyone was talking about," says Hinchcliffe. "Danny was someone who liked to keep things ticking over under the radar. Suddenly there was this big explosion and it was very difficult to manage." Di Canio was banned for 11 games. Wednesday decided not to appeal the suspension. "The problems really kicked in after that. I think the rest of the players saw it as a one-off and wanted to move on. We hoped Paolo would feel the same because we needed him. I don't know what Paolo expected, but he started to train separately and he brought his own fitness guy in with him. "I don't know why he felt that the club should have done more because clearly when you do something like that, of course the club wasn't going to appeal the ban. There was no moral grounds on which to do it. Paolo seemed to think the club could've done more and it petered out. He went to West Ham." Di Canio can flip right off in my opinion.

What he didn't need is being hung out to dry by the club to enchance a certain persons creditations for a very senior position with the FA. Di Canio was way out of line to do what he did but the whole situation was appallingly dealt with by the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Cosby Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I love a Di Canio argument The thing is everyone is right to an extent. The club didn't manage the Alcock incident very well, he was hung out to dry by Wilson and Richards and to that extent they let him down... However, HE pushed over a ref FFS!! Even in the modern era of bellendery, I've never seen anyone else do something like that... Not only that but he then went absent without leave and refused to come back to the job he was paid for, forcing through his cut price move to West Ham. On his day he was probably the best player I've ever seen in a Wednesday shirt, he was however a self obsessed fruitloop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has Hinchcliffe got any thoughts on the exorbitant wages he was getting paid for being continually injured or the win bonuses that Jonk got paid even when he wasn't playing? The club was badly managed on and off the field at that time and how it panned out in that period says it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taximark Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 PDC wanted the club the bend over backwards and go overboard to protect him...he is just a very mardy spoilt bloke then and probably now. Look at the things hes got upto since ...broke into Swindon Town, Nazi salute, the list goes on. I have no interest in him since he left, the club getting nothing and playing for WHU weeks later after he came out with excuses for not turning up for the Leicester game. Great player but overshadowed by his awful selfish attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make his opinion any less valid but helps to paint a picture of how badly the club was being run and so suggests that the club wasn't handling anything very well at that time.

Whitechapel Owl Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I don't understand why anyone tries to defend him, disliking Wilson and Richards (which I also did by the way) doesn't suddenly make Di Canio's behaviour acceptable. He was a disgrace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hinchcliffe’s appearances are nowhere near as poor as people make out. 80ish In 3 years I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
