Salieri Posted 13 September 2011 Posted 13 September 2011 Swindon currently stuffing Crawley 3-0 away, hopefully Di Canio will have a good old post match gloat.
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 13 September 2011 Posted 13 September 2011 Swindon currently stuffing Crawley 3-0 away, hopefully Di Canio will have a good old post match gloat. Third consecutive win. Maybe starting to turn for him there post-Clarke situation?
Fox92 Posted 14 September 2011 Posted 14 September 2011 Well, he most certianly got Evans back there. Great win really, Crawley are favourites.
Mack Posted 15 September 2011 Posted 15 September 2011 Swindon employed Di Canio exactly because he would create a circus. If a Colin Lee or a Roy McPharland was in charge would you ever see Swindon making so many waves in the media? Would you get Leicester fans saying they might go to a Swindon game like you do here? Swindon have a history of employing characters as their Manager and it's working again. Whatever you say about them or Di Canio they are punching well above their weight on the publicity front this season. Mission accomplished.

Guest Bilo Posted 12 December 2011 Posted 12 December 2011 You're 14 games unbeaten Paolo! I have serious doubts he'll make it as a manager long term, he's too mad.

leicesterisme Posted 1 January 2012 Posted 1 January 2012 Did anyone see his celebration when Swindon scored their winning goal yesterday? He ran down the line and onto the pitch to celebrate with the players and fans. There's the video.
somebum Posted 1 January 2012 Posted 1 January 2012 Yeah, his archaic management style died alongside Brian Clough. He won't last long.

21st Century Fox Posted 1 September 2012 Posted 1 September 2012 Leicesterpool's got something else to rub one out to.... The BBC have signed Di Canio up as a columnist. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19431338

FrankieADZ Posted 3 September 2012 Posted 3 September 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlsH1ufFURE&feature=youtu.be i have to admit....i love his honesty & passion. not to many characters in football anymore but Di Canio is certainly 1 i like
Brainy Posted 3 September 2012 Posted 3 September 2012 All for the cameras. His man management skills are pathetic. Unless he's one of these who like to do stupid shit to take the pressure and spotlight away from the players.
Fox in the North Posted 3 September 2012 Posted 3 September 2012 subbed the goalie after 21 minutes on sunday, http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19426397 Paolo Di Canio: Swindon boss seeks Wes Foderingham apology Swindon manager Paolo Di Canio says he will not play goalkeeper Wes Foderingham again until he apologises to fans for the "arrogance" he showed in the 4-1 loss at Preston. The 21-year-old was substituted on just 21 minutes after his error led to Akpo Sodje's opener. He exchanged words with Di Canio as he left the field and chose to sit in the stands for the remainder of the game. "He's the worst professional I've ever seen," Di Canio told BBC Wiltshire. "It wasn't only the mistake, which can happen to everyone. It was the arrogance later on when he started moaning to the others. That was the worst thing for me. "If he doesn't come out and say sorry to the fans for his professionalism, then he is out of my team." Foderingham had never played in the Football League before Di Canio brought him to the County Ground on loan from Crystal Palace in October 2011. He immediately claimed the number one jersey and earned a permanent deal in January after conceding only six goals in 15 games. The England Under-21 player felt the wrath of Di Canio towards the end of last season's League Two-winning campaign, when he was dropped from the first team for hisinvolvement in a post-match night out. The Italian reinstated the keeper after a group apology. After Di Canio replaced him for Leigh Bedwell on Sunday, Foderingham argued with his manager before kicking a water bottle. And the Swindon boss is adamant that he will not back down until the player expresses sorrow. "I don't want any arguments from the fans who will say: 'we've got to play Oxford'", Di Canio said. "I don't mind because these are my rules. "The fans have to stay calm and not boo. I have made my decision. "He was nothing until the day he joined me. He didn't have one second as a professional. "He is very good and it is thanks to him we did well last year, but he's forgotten everything. He's arrogant and thinks he's untouchable." Di Canio concluded: "I don't have to speak to anybody. The players have to come to the manager when they behave like this. I didn't leave the ground, kick the bottle or leave my team-mates." This latest run-in comes just weeks after Di Canio's spat with Paul Caddis, during which the Italian refused to play the defender because of a "change in attitude". The former captain has now left on loan to Birmingham City. Di Canio also had a bust-up with striker Leon Clarke only a month in to his tenure that resulted in the player being exiled from the club.
ScouseFox Posted 3 September 2012 Posted 3 September 2012 Fantastic. As for his management style, it clearly works. Promotion, JPT final and two PL scalps in cup comps in just over a year. Impressive.

21st Century Fox Posted 3 September 2012 Posted 3 September 2012 He's entertaining you have to hand him that. I'd be a nervous wreck if I were a Swindon fan though, he's so unpredictable.
