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.
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!
