Di Canio yes please.
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:

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

I thought half of graysons era was just as crap as the rest of it.

Re: Di Canio yes please.
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...

Has he ever managed at this level? I cant imagine him playing attractive football.
sorry for my lack of knowledge.

Re: Re: Di Canio yes please.
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.Brader wrote:Has he ever managed at this level? I cant imagine him playing attractive football.

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.

Re: Di Canio yes please.
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?

Re: Di Canio yes please.
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.

Re: Di Canio yes please.
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.

Re: Di Canio yes please.
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
