I don't know what the qualification period is smart arse but Cady didn't pass it.
Fuck me.
Why all so defensive about some physio that had really not been here for that long? PDC thought she was not up to the job so he got rid. Would people prefer that he decided to continue working with somebody he felt didn't cut it?

I guess you never saw her bouncing on to the pitch? It was quite a sight.

kate had been with the club for a few years and is highly qualified. She was dealt with badly even if she wasn't wanted

If PDC felt she wasn't up to the job, then what else should he have done?

I hope i'm not coming across as anti Di canio as i am not. The gist was really that for every Curly Withers there is a Kate Cady.
Football is a brutal business from the board room to the boot room. I think some have been a bit blinkered of the facts thats all

There's not much incentive these days to invest in youth, mainly down to that agreement between the PL and FL.
A part of me is happy we underinvest in youth and spend on getting the best first teamers we can. I'd hate it if we spend loads and overhall the youth system, find some talented lads only for them to fuck of to Man U for bugger all.

I always felt it was a slight embarrassment for the club to see her jogging onto the pitch, seemed to take ages to reach the stricken player. I understood she was still within the set-up, unless she has moved on recently. I don't quite get the Withers love-in either, he comes in on a matchday and makes tea - and has done for 30 years. I well remember people like John Cook who stood outside the ground for years selling programmes in all winds and weathers - until the big fat greek took over producing, printing and selling the programme. The guy was distraught at losing his little job at the CG, for no pay, just a match ticket and miss the first 10 minutes of any game. |

2 players from a possible 7 given pro contracts and a first year schoar training full time with the first team squad doesn't point to something not working imo. |

Wasn't Dave Byrne working to a target of "two per year, one to play, one to sell" as a definition of success? I'm with arriba, the youth seem to be doing fine. But Di Canio clearly wants his own people in place in every dept so like Cady, Bodin will be on his way this summer, irrespective of whether he's meeting the targets set. |

The youth setup shouldn’t be within PdC’s jurisdiction, or not to the extent where he can overhaul it. If it brings his on people in then they’ll end up buggering off when PdC does too! With the youth setup there has to be a long-term strategy that has the power to outlast several managers

I think there's a big difference between the club tea-man and anything to do with the playing side of the business.
