DanLCFC: Will teams STILL not be able to do it on a cold Tuesday night at the Britannia now?

[Fox92]

Done a great job at Stoke; got them promoted, into Europe, lost in the FA Cup final and made the Brittania a difficult place to visit for every team. This season they have fell away though.

 

But his style of football is horrible, I couldn't put myself through that every game.

 

No doubt he will get another job, more likely in our division, but that is a big decision from Stoke imo.

 

Don't like him, or his style of play. Don't like Stoke either.

[Corky]

Boring manager, played the little club routine perfectly despite spending millions of pounds, never his fault, horrible football to watch.

 

He won't be missed by outsiders and I hope he doesn't return immediately.

I thought they can't publish that, and then realised it's not actually the BBC.

[Finnegan]

The Beeb publish jokes like that all the time on their daily sport feed.

Di Canio seems to be at odds with the PFA over fining Sunderland players for mis-behaviour.

 

In an era of player power will he get players on side?

 

Man City setting up their own franchise in the States..

I know a lad who used to play under Di Canio at Swindon. He said that not many players liked him and he was forever falling out with players.

He used to make them cancel holidays, didn't give them days of for 2 weeks running, if anyone said something he'd put them in the reserves and wouldn't speak to them.

I very much doubt these sort of methods will work with premiership footballers and I can't see him lasting the season.

[Super_horns]

True - all high egos and would expect respect.

 

Not all are going to be bag eggs and as I say there will be some like the goalie he'll want to keep on side.

WHU have agreed a fee for Carroll

 

Can see them being quite a force in The Prem in a couple of years

[Father Ted]

Kolo Toure on a free to Liverpool is strongly rumoured.

[StanSP]

They could do better if they're looking to replace the 'experience' of Carragher.

 

I see Kolo Toure as clumsy and a bit aloof for a defender.

 

Why does Rodgers not play Skrtel any more? Has he been injured?

[Leicesterpool]

It just doesn't stop, there's gossip that Villas-Boas could be out of the door at spurs! He's being linked to the napoli job!

Rio F signs a new one-year deal - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22582699.

 

 

Good decision really for Man Utd; having a strong leader on the pitch who will promote drive and enthusiasm to try and make Moyes' first season in charge as successful as possible.

 

I just can't see Moyes (considering his past relationship and development of the player) getting Rooney to stay - he didn't really want to be at Old Trafford for around two seasons.
