bigdon You are a football club choosing a manager. Its nothing to do with politics this is not a general election.


Personally I think it's a bit insulting to British veterans/war dead of the Italy campaign in WW2 to sign him.

Them and Reading's Jewish community.

That clearly didn't bother Swindon, which is just another reason to hate them.

Also he's too shit to manage Reading.

MELKSHAM HOOPS A BIG YES from me. its what the team needs. a kick up the arse... and PDC is the man to do that.


Oh dear - like the problem in recent weeks has been motivation? The problem has been quality - lack of it. If PDC's role will be to throw his weight about, I think it will be a disaster. If he gets us to play good football and throws his weight about ... who knows, it might just do the trick. But I doubt he has the time to do any of those things. The truth is, it comes down to whether he can build a team to be promoted from the Champ next season?

didnt you just write a thread about how much of a facist he is?
think this coupled with all the reports in the media might be something to do with why we feel this way.

Royalee Because most of our fans are stupid and wanted the current Liverpool manager out for having a personality and trying to change the ethos of our underachieving club.



That would be the bloke that left a pretty decent side nigh on bottom of the championship would it?

Personally I hate Di C*ntio. He's a vile human being who's only interested in himself.

Honestly don't care if he's a fascist or whatever, I just don't think his managerial approach will work with more established players.

I bet many older Reading fans have voted for Margaret Thatcher.

all i am saying is Paolo was manager at Swindon for 18 months ish and fascism just wasnt an issue at all. Fans,players, club employees all liked him and were loyal to him. It will be exactly the same at Reading.

Re: Di Canio a few things you all should know by a Swindon f

bigdon Hello my Reading Chums looks like Paolo is going to get the gig enjoy the ride. Here are a few things you should know to help you get on with your new boss.

1. Training for your players will be hard and I mean hard. Think SAS selection process.

2. If you have any big time charlie type players they are finished. Its Paolos way of your out (Or fascism as its otherwise known).

3. Paolo is basically an exact clone of the London Gangster Frankie Frazer 40 years ago.

4. Paulo has a team of about 6 people who will have varies jobs and titles their only use or importance is to manage Paolo. The most important of these people is Phil Spencer. Without Phil spencer there is no Paolo. Phil spencer will be the most important person at your club. You may not believe this now but you will find out why soon enough.

5. Paolo will think he is bigger than your club.

6. When Paolo is quiet be afraid be very afraid. If Paolo has a rant/meltdown which is about probably around 1 in every 3 games this is good it is very good it means next game you will always get a result.

7. Paolo is more passionate than your most passionate fan(might not be for very long though).

8.Paulo does tend to say f*ck quite a lot in interviews. Generally our local radio reporters tended to let it go but this could cause problems on match of the day etc.

9. Paulo will spend and spend big. Dont be surprised if he signs someone for 10 million on a monday then by wedensday says "Well he isnt as good as i thought he was" and then blames it on the player. Paolo would also spend 10 million on a player and deliberately keep him on the bench for 5 weeks to show him who is boss.

10. The Fascism thing really wont be an issue. Lets be honest If you get a draw at Old Trafford or the emirites you will all be following the fascist. I mean that as a fickle football fan and in the nicest possible way.

Welcome to management by hand grenade.


That's just what we need get some aggression in the side, the ones that cant run ship them out (and there's a few of them) for to long to long now there has been a very cosy atmosphere where the old guard was happy with the cosy untouchable world they lived in guaranteed shirt on the peg yes bri no bri three bags full bri I for one hope that the madman comes here and blows it all up and starts again preferably with players that are mobile and can pass the ball.

Yeah but what about the rest of this season? :|

What about the players who were prepared to testify against him for racist comments made to a fellow player? :|

And no doubt he would spit his dummy out and strop off in a huff again. No thanks, we need stability, a word not normally associated with Di Canio.

I don't want Di Canio but I don't think there is an awful lot wrong with a lot ofthat! ^^^^ Just what we need.

Sick and tired of the "Reading Way". Softly softly, plastic Thames valley, middle class conservatism.

Some of our numerous passenger players will quite rightly be shltting themselves

Need real passion, enthusiasm, belief, belonging, tenacity, guts.

Someone who is not afraid to go charging into the oppositions penalty area to celebrate a goal instead of this misguided sit back "just WNG / move on" bollox.

Not my choice, but better than what we have been subjected to.

Hats off to you Anton for making a brave decision and sodding the popularity aspect.

And if Di Canio is a fascist, why is it looking likley a communist is going to give him a job? Dur!
