Arising out of all this maybe we will find out who else wants out.Presumably they will have a very public spat with Di Cannio, and will be shown the door in the same manner that Clarke has been.Who knows ? maybe Tims, and Manks had a behind the scenes bust up wit PDC?

Quick someone say "get behind the lads"

Fact - it was all a bit untidy and embarassing but we didn't see the whole thing properly and we don't know the full facts.

We all agreed PDC was high risk, high profile, big on personality and short on relevant experience.  

Now we get the PDC makes managerial mistakes shock in August.  

Guess what Alex Ferguson didn't start the best in England, rookie Lou Macari got sacked due to out of control personality clashes with his assistant Harry Gregg and still only garnered 7 points from 8 games at the start of the following record-breaking season.

Mancini at City had players coming in and out last year and was generally reported as clueless if wealthy, now his team beats Spurs 5-1 away and he's a master who's known what he was doing all along.

The key is whether PDC learns or not.

I certainly hope he is given an opportunity to do so and that we can show a little patience.  Not everything is known in August.

Get behind the lads!

What almost irks me is how some consider any form of support (whatever level) for our management as happy-clapping gullibility. Most of us are concerned about our current situation but what use does constant online whinging/swiping do? Of course, that's why the internet was developed.

In the words of Rev. Connell

"boys get on great,still very optimistic about the season! Please keep up your tremendous support."

Testify.........

Probably a 'smokescreen'.

I'm of the same opinion but presumably that would make me a "deluded fucking idiot" according to Yeo.

If Clarke had told the club 2 days before the Saints match that he wanted to leave Swindon, why the fcuk didnt Di Canio know?  Surely if this was true then whoever Clarke told would have gone straight to PDC with the news?

Clarke clearly has to go but as others have said, there's another side to this story.

He didn't tell the club.

He whinged to his agent that he wanted out because he couldn't hack the running.

di Canio didn't know until after the Saints game.

Clarke won't be the first or last person to realise after a week in a new job that he hates it and regrets the day he said yes. Some people stick with it to see if it improves and others get out as quick as they can.

Do you have anything to back any of this up, apart from an irrational dislike of PdC and a gleeful wish to shout I told you so..

Please go back to Thisis and leave us in peace

Agree Leefer, giving in his notice or disrespecting Paolo was always going to have the same outcome.

This.

No one in their heart of hearts is going to be happy with the season's start result wise. But as you say why seeing the positives in what have been periods of good performance and supporting the new management team as they find their feet is seen as 'happy clapping gullibility' by some is ridiculous.

Fuck me if you're willing to write off a manager/season before the end of August it can't be much fun being a fan.

Whether people like it or not Di canio is the boss and for the sake of stfc we better hope he gets us up the table. When there is a spat between a player and the manager there is only one winner. The board will back the manager as they appointed him,and a manager of a team not pulling up trees is hardly going to blame himself. I'm behind Di canio until at least 10 league games in,but he has it all to do imo.
