Di canio in swindon talks

[Twinkle Toes]

The new 2011/12 away kit as unveiled on Town's website today:

Presumably they'll be wearing brown shirts for away games? Be rude not to, I'd have thought.

 

[perth seagull]

It's confirmed by BBC. Swindon have a new Il Duce.

 

[Mellotron]

Good luck to him and Swindon if he goes there, I like him.

You into Nazis then?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

It's confirmed by BBC. Swindon have a new Il Duce.

I commute with a Swindow fan every day, and he was not happy about their new manager this morning.

Ignoring the nasty FASCISM business, we are going to see a few more appointments like this, over the next year or two, as football league chairmen, desperately try to unearth the next Gus Poyet.

The days of the Dave Bassett / Micky Adams / Phil Brown / George Burley dinosaur merry-go-round are thankfully numbered.

 

[Frutos]

If we appoint a fascist i will not go to Swindon again until he is gone.

I just hope never to have to go to Swindon again, the place is a shithole.

 

[The Ringleader Returns!]

Poor, poor Vincent Pericard

 

[Biscuit]

Will his first move be to change from red to black shirts?

i thought poyet was the next di matteo, who in turn was the next martinez?

either way, the more former flair players taking over as managers the better

 

[bhaexpress]

Sounds like they'll be signing right wingers.

Very good.

If I were the chairman of a L2 club, i'd be straight on the phone to PAVEL NEDVED, or ENZO SCHIFO.

im sure that the dream team of attilio lombardo and tomas brolin deserve a crack at english management again after the FINE job they did in their last brief

 

[Icy Gull]

Is the Swindon chairman trying to put his club out of business?

 

[hastings]

Is the Swindon chairman trying to put his club out of business?

I thought Fitton had gone, or has a new chairman come in?

 

[Simster]

Enzo Schifo. My all-time favourite flairniac. If he rocked up here as Poyet's replacement, I'd have to buy SIX season tickets right next to his dugout. And then STALK him.

 

[severnside gull]

not sure how diCanio will do at that level - has to be new to him surely?

good luck though - nice to see a club which is down trying to show a little bit of imagination to turn it round

 

[Springal]

Amazing, where are all those Swindon fans gone from about 12 months ago? Hahahahahahahaha

Enjoy non league

 

[Easy 10]

Massively risky appointment. He has zero managerial experience, and unlike Gus, hasn't even had the grounding of working as a number 2 at that level. He's going to be relying heavily on whoever he has as his own number 2 (maybe Paul Bodin is being retained ?). Volatile character as well, how is he going to cope trying to coax performances out of players at the arse-end of the league with a fraction of his ability ?

Who knows, despite all that maybe it'll turn out to be a masterstroke. But from where I'm sitting, this has DISASTER written all over it.

Be a bit Nawtee if they draw Spurs in a cup competition.
