Someone like Caddis you might give an opportunity as an Assistant here. Not as a number one. Maybe prime him for the Manager role in due course but you have him as Assistant alongside someone who has done it before [if they agree to it/don't have anyone to bring with them].

People's priorities are odd. Much of the fan base were alright with a man that hero worshipped Mussolini and had a history of giving fascist salutes from the pitch to far right ultra gangs.
But this makes someone beyond the pale.
Fuck that I want out of this suit division asap.
I got a good chuckle out of people who were incredulous we were considering an ex manager of a Bristol club in Danny Wilson, but were advocating for a guy who had supported, played for and managed one in Ian Holloway. Fans are rarely consistent. |

Heart over head that one I fear. Picaretta is a huge punt having never managed anyone before. |

He managed Inter Turku and won the Finnish Cup with them. |

Ok had missed that but only there 9 months in Finland. I'd prefer someone who knows this level a bit more intimately as we just need to get out of this shite league. |

He’d be a good senior Academy appointment and nothing else. |

He'd make quite a good assistant manager to be fair. |

Genuinely couldn't think of an appointment as uninspiring as Piccaretta. The years after PDC alluded to him being a balls, bins and comes guy if memory serves me right?

I didn't know too much about Piccareta apart from his spell here with PDC. Obviously it's only from Wikipedia but his background is fairly interesting. A lot of academy work in Italy, a short spell in Finland that seemed to go quite well although after winning the cup and leading Inter Turku into Europe he resigned to go and join Roma as the under 17s coach.
Not a huge amount to really whet your whistle about him being the new manager, although I do like this bit when he was working with PDC here - Piccareta spoke of sharing footballing philosophies with Di Canio setting out a plan to bring a "strong identity" to Swindon along with an "Italian methodology in training" and that their "kind of football won't be boring for the fans"
All great buzz words that will be music to many Swindon fans' ears.

Yes, fair but I sort of rule that out on the basis that I can’t see anyone who would appoint him as their assistant being appointed manager if that makes sense? |
