DiCanio 5/4 fav with bookies

[cpmurph]

Please, god, let it not be this man...

[Royal Lady]

First off Di Canio is not racist. He is a fascist. I am not a big fan of fascists...even if they get the trains to run on time and the most out of their football players.

I can see being opposed to bringing Di Canio in, which I am in agreement with (more being down to how he up and quit Swindon Town the way he did...I don't like quitters), but don't slander him by calling him a racist.

A number of Swindon players were prepared to testify as to his racist comments to a fellow player. Sure, he's not racist.

Who was the greek(?) coach we bought in a while back?..is he still at the club?..might be a call till the end of the season.

Di Canio would make me cringe it really would - a circus act far worse than Warnock which i would struggle to support. For me- Rosler,Poyet,Di Matteo or Adkins. Oh and please please not Alex Mcleish.

If only I'd said that at the beginning of this thread.

[Royalclapper]

Yikes! Di Canio would represent the polar opposite managerial personality extreme. Surely something towards the middle ground would be more appropriate.

We'd go from Brian's bunch of young farmers to Paulo's hot-headed fuse blowers in one simple movement. Both Di Canio and Adkins (for different reasons) could be like pulling someone you're really into after a couple of dates only to discover they're on the rebound and still hurting, so after a brief but memorable fling we're back on the shelf with an unfinished product.

This betting is only on the back of him being at the game Saturday, SJM is still chairman, he will have a say in the new appointment

Least it means Leigertwood won't play....

I'd be very surprised RL. If he is/was he wouldn't be long for the world of football. Everyone has a natural tendency to equate German fascism of WWII with Italian fascism. And don't get me wrong...being an Italian I know they can be as racist, if not more so, than any other peoples. I just don't get that vibe with Paolo...he seems to be an equal opportunity offender in terms of his offensiveness.

[TommyF]

For me Adkins. Very jealous of how Saints played their football

Awful smug Rodgers lite pcnut.

Totally agree. Whenever I saw him talk I wanted to twat him. But whenever I saw Southampton play I wanted us to play like that

Give me a break, 7 pages, i have trouble reading 7 posts

[royal67]

Who will it be?

Even taking notes...

When was this though. This could be di Canio taking in the first game at the Madjeski

It was Saturday, I saw him arrive and eventually leave. Lots of discussion with the chap he was with, plenty of gesturing and shaking of his head......

[Norfolk Royal]

If Di Canio is appointed that will end my interest in RFC for the duration of his tenure.

[mbb]

M-U-R-T-Y

Could be something in this. Saw him in the Hotel after the Wigan game and it was mentioned in passing. Did I set the ball rolling!!!!!!!!

[tilehurstender]

What about the return of Sir Steve

[peterroyal76]

I really don't get the Adkins love-in.
