Paolo Di Canio

[Davemania]

I can see Di Canio is trying to give some players a rocket to try and motivate them to up their game but the way he's banging on in public about them is making him look like a bit of a bellend. Not that he minds im sure! Makes for an interesting interview

Its very bad man-management. He should keep criticisms in the dressing room. Also - its one thing criticising an overall performance, but to criticise a single mistake, however bad, is ludicrous. Everyone makes them. His days are numbered - and hes really shot himself in the foot regarding future job prospects. What can a public criticism possibly do to help improve motivation?

 

[El Presidente]

Fine line between honesty and bullying. I'm not sure I'd like to be slagged off in public. It won't end well

So why do we slag off players so much ourselves? (Not having a go at you BTW!)

Bit different. We're not their bosses. We're commenting from the sidelines, and we are mostly ignored in the grand scheme of things.
