Bowie Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I once put up DiCannio's name as a half joke to wind some people up. However if you can look past the hype, and look at results, his record is impressive. Look what he has done at Swindle. With no money. He works at shape and formation constantly, has gone through as a youth the Italian coaching structure, so understands what it means to have a real youth set up (which we are trying to do) . I also think his passion will be something that will get City fans behind him. We all call out out for a character, Gerry Gow being the type of name that comes up, and boy do we need a shake up right now. It would need to be brave, and the ride would be wild, but you are sure our players will know something has changed. It could not be worse than Del now, and for one thing, DiCannio will manage in the Prem one day, it just depends who with. A typical article is the following. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2200435/Paolo-Di-Canio-Doing-job-crazy-beautiful-too.html You have to look past the person and look at the results. Swindon may swap places with us next season, and a double promotion (and personally I am sure they will do it) would make any manager a hot target for clubs. The name puts some off, but this is a results business, and boy he is delivering. Indeed. Totally agree, remarkably job he's doing up at Swindon, however you have to wonder if we could get him My view is that the Board would be afraid of him though because he'd publically speak his mind Fans would adore this bloke, speaks so much sense when discussing the modern footballer, bloke would be a breath of fresh air.

Garland-sweden Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 IF HE GOES, DICANNIO IS A PASSIONATE AND GOOD MANAGER IMO. THE ITALIANS ARE WELL EDUCATED AND OFEN SUCSESSFUL, LOOK AT WATFORD AND mANCHESTER C.sEEN DICCANIO ONCE AND HE REALLY IS IN THE GAME AS A MANAGER. BUT I HOPE THAT WE SOON GET RESULTS AND THAT DM CAN WORK ON. COYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City1970 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I think Del's days are numbered, so if or when he goes, who will come in and steer us clear of relegation??? Somebody who will play the best players and replace the rubbish players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcnick Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 That Mail interview / article with Di Cannio reinforces my wish that SL will be bold and make an approach. It's unlikely that he is someone SL would approach but, if he did, would he come? It depends on whether PDC perceives that an opportunity with us gives him a greater opportunity of managing in the Premiership than his current position with Swindon. It also depends on the sort of budget (for his salary and players) SL can offer in line with the new rules. It remains a fact that BCFC is an attractive prospect for an up and coming manager who isn't going to get a premiership opportunity directly. With our catchment area, decent owner, potential and probable (despite the frustrations) new stadium and decent academy set up I think he might come but I also think he would like another promotion on his CV and probably has a sense of loyalty to see things through at Swindon for this season at least.

As much as o like his methods, he would he a big no here. Can you imagine after two bad results, a few grumbles were heard, and he says, we don't want you here, go and support Rovers. That's what he said at Swindon, told his own fans to support Oxford! He wouldn't last a week here saying that. He also believes owners and chairman should be seen and not heard. Now that would seem ideal here at the moment but we know what Steve is like for sticking his oar in, several times in the dressing room before a game saying what he wants. I'm not saying it is wrong, but Di Canio would not work in that environment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcnick Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I think there are just a few characters who can get away with saying almost anything and still be loved as a manager because of their style, charisma and slightly tongue in cheek manner. Cloughy snr was an example. That sort of line would probably be expected and given the dross we have had here for a while di cannio would get a good 12 months of good will and by this time results would shut any idiots up. There will always be a few at any club who will not take to a manager but I think it would work. As you say though I doubt if SL would entertain the idea. SL is much more likely to pick the equivalent of a Hodgson rather than a Harry or Di Cannio type of character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be my choice, hard disciplinarian, who wont stand for drinking or players messing about, will drop and sub anyone and even boot out players who dont pull their weight. Add to this a fresh outlook on management, performance and results, he is as far away from the stayed clichéd claptrap of most british managers, it is unreal. I would have him here in a heart beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUTOR Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 No way will we get anything out of Leicester and that really will be the final straw for Del won't it? So... Davies and Coyle would be at the top of my shortlist... Di Canio is not only unrealistic, but he would be a huge risk if we wanted to ensure survival. Cotterill is like a mini Sam Allardyce, comes with a tag of long ball football and a big personality, but unlike Big-Sam, it's never really worked out for him. Heard a few whispers of the return of Gary Johnson... Maybe ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I would have thought Di Canio will see out another promotion with Swindon, this season or next, and will then jump ship to West Ham by which time there will be some fangled excuse to move Allardyce upstairs.

havanatopia Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 karl robinson or gary smith Robinson would be an interesting shout but probably not the right man for the right moment should a vacancy occur anytime soon. Previously his assistant was John Gorman, now retired, who was at City and now his assistant is Mick Harford, also previously of City, and both very well respected here. Karl I believe is still the youngest manager in the football league. I suspect he wants to finish what he has started at MK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456789000 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Despite how frustrating it is at the moment, I will support Del until he leaves. If he does leave either through quitting or being sacked soon, then I would like to see Cotterill get the job. Can work on a tight budget, proven at this level, organises his squads and could slap the players out of their long long cryostasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySnapper Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 How about a bit of glamour in the boardroom as well (Carolyn Still/Radford - Mansfield/Gangnam Style)?

havanatopia Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer or Paulo Sousa - The former has won back to back titles for Molde, their first ever. This would be a good move for him and for City. Prove his worth by taking an unfashionable club into the top flight and then take over at Manure in 5 years time. Sousa did well at The Swans finishing 7th int eh Championship before making the disastrous move to Leicester. He has since done very well with Videoton in Hungary by finishing 2nd the season after they won it for the very first time under the previous gaffer and getting through to the group stages of the Europa League. Would SL go foreign though? 3 wins on the bounce for Del and these discussions will be buried, at least for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickle Rick Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Rosler seems the only half decent option given, the rest are laughable and sums it up. Sack Del and bring in a shitty has been, someone who'd never consider us (ie Solskjaer) or unproven manager. Typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
