Guest Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 2 hours ago, PopePiusX said: It's odd, Benito Carbone is seen as a mercenary and Di Canio as a misunderstood genius, when Carbone contributed far more to us than Di Canio did. It is a bit strange that Carbone is generally not regarded as highly for us as Di Canio is. Benito was excellent in 96-97 once he had settled in and he worked really well with Booth that season. After Di Canio had gone early in 1998-99 Carbone was the one player worth turning up to see that season and scored some great goals. Understandably that summer he wanted a new contract. The club offered him what they thought was reasonable he wanted more, this resulted in him being transfer listed. He missed the first week of pre-season training on a sick note and when he returned I remember him playing one warm up game with the kids on the same day most of the first team was playing elsewhere. He started the season on the bench- pretty surprising given his form the previous season and our other options. Scored as a sub in the first game, continued to be out of the squad or named as a sub and then spat the dummy out when this happened away at Southampton. Villa got him for the remainder of the season, we received less than £1M and got relegated without him. Carbone and more so Di Canio came with reputations as being difficult to manage but capable of winning games on their own. The club knew what they were getting into with Di Canio with the way he finished up at Celtic and his previous clubs so must take some of the blame for this happening in similar fashion. Wilson was way out his depth in terms of dealing with ego's in the dressing room and has never managed anywhere near that level again. He was a really good player for us in what was a great time to watch Wednesday but the managerial job was too big for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this wasn’t a crossword clue and you meant Di Canio then I suggest his problems were a little more serious than a fragile head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
