Di Canio yes please.

Post by Emsley »

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21804668
12 min mark.

Why: A manager that would ask the hard questions, and go in guns blazing.
Think he would go hand in hand with Leeds fans passion, we would rise or fall, but the s**t we have been served up with the last ten years (bar graysons era) would make a refreshing change.
A risk no doubt, but what have we got to lose.
Bring back the wild Elland road nights. :mrgreen:
WE''RE LEEDS UNITED, WE''LL NEVER BE DEFEATED!

Paul Green was warnobs best signing.
If you disagree please send me a PM so we can get in to a fight.

The guy is a nutter - but so are most Leeds fans. :tup: That is in his favour.
Negatory, is that he has little or no managerial experience.
Deffo a wild card.

too big an ego..would quickly clash with the fans when things start to go wrong...which would be about 10 games in...


No thanks....and I'm grading it a WTW as an idea....Worse than Warnock...

While I'd love for us to get promoted and play attractive football like Swansea, I'd happily take Stoke's style of football if it meant getting back to the prem and staying there.

As for Di Canio, I think he could be a good appointment. But I'd rather see someone like Adkins or McDermott if we're in a position to attract one of them.

I think everyone is agreed we will not have a huge amount to spend, so someone with a history of small budgets and bringing through youth would be preferable to me.
Every game I predict a 3 - 1 Leeds win, I am traditional like that.

Are any good managers going to want to risk coming here with the current ownership/finanacial uncertainty?

What I don't want is a journeyman manager - a Billy Davies or Phil Brown. One guy I always thought might do well is Aidy Boothroyd, who seems to have found his feet again at Northampton, but his history at other clubs suggests "maybe not".

To have Di Canio as manager you would need a strong, experienced board to handle him. By their own admission GFH-C are new to football and would struggle to contain him.

A perfect situation for any manager. They come in, get paid and have a readymade list of excuses if they do a Warnock.

Di Canio, NO THANK YOU!
While I think he could be a decent manager someday, I'd rather not let him lose, figuring his sh*t out with LUFC. Need someone who can hit the ground running, have a clear vision of what is expected, what is needed, how to execute that vision, and eyes in the back of his head. I've done pretty well on FM, so I offer my services.
:wink:

I really don't want a racist manager at Leeds.

I'd rather stick with Warnock - that's how much I disapprove of Di Canio's declared fascist tendencies
