Deano6 Posted 18 May, 2011 Share Posted 18 May, 2011 I'd treat him pretty much the same way as manager of any other rival team in Southampton's division. Quite liked the guy when he played, even if he did terrorise us at the Dell one evening with Sheff Weds beating us (3-2?) and all their fans singing Dee-Eye-Canio. That was when they had Carbone too, and Regi Blinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not out of the realms of possibility what with Cortese's Italian influence.I'd treat him pretty much the same way as manager of any other rival team in Southampton's division.

Matthew Le God Posted 18 May, 2011 Share Posted 18 May, 2011 Di Canio is a fascist. How would that be good for dressing room harmony at Saints? I don't want him anywhere near the club! Nor should anyone else... In his autobiography he praised Mussolini as "basically a very principled, ethical individual" who was "deeply misunderstood".

Ewell Posted 18 May, 2011 Share Posted 18 May, 2011 Do you honestly think that putting our club in an unstable position when we have had our first sniff of stability since Gordon Strachan was manager would be a good idea?

dubai_phil Posted 18 May, 2011 Share Posted 18 May, 2011 Tony Pulis has left the building. Clearly there is an opening for a new waterboy. But not Di Canio. He clearly lacks any brain whatsoever if he feels he can get a job back in the UK ever having put himself in a position to have been photographed like that. Mind you lack of brain didn't seem to stop Avram & Nottreal having a career so yes, clearly a shoe in as Nottrea;'s next replacement at Nott Arf. Would fit right in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToreSF Posted 18 May, 2011 Share Posted 18 May, 2011 He was a very professional guy on the pitch and on the training ground. And he has a winning mentality. The main argument against him is that he probably wants to rule the show as a manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltonaggro Posted 19 May, 2011 Share Posted 19 May, 2011 Don't be too hasty. Di Canio and Nick Griffin could be the 'hosts' at half time, whipping the SMS faithful into a frenzy in the tradition of Nuremberg and Munich. They could then host a penalty shoot out with the spot moving farther away depending on your ethnic group or sexuality, for example John Terry would be an inch from the goal-line, Justin Fashanu would be in Bevois Valley. Just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Tone Posted 19 May, 2011 Share Posted 19 May, 2011 Bit harsh to lump Italian in with Nazi and bnp members! Not really. See for example http://pricegraphicarts.tripod.com/WorldWideTerrorism/id52.htm Mussolini's Italian fascists also committed major atrocities, especially in Ethiopia. And in any event anyone giving a fascist salute in modern times has to be aware that by doing so they are effetively allying themselves to the whole Nazi movement.
