Ok, if the rumours are true and Di Canio is appointed, will he be a tracksuit manager or will he enrol in the Paul Tisdale school of fashion.

Im going with the latter.

If he wears a tracksuit he can fuck off.

Thoughts?

Me too. Suited and booted with a Mancini-esque scarf all the way.

I would like to see a nice cut suit, no tie, with sunglasses on his head at all times. I don't think a nice loose scarf would look out of place either.

On another note Brightons Glenn Murray has fucked off to palace apparently

Nice suit with a Camel Hair coat draped on his shoulders with cigar and three or more Italian babes with him at all times

Full uniform and jackboots I'd imagine :)

Brian Clough started as a tracksuit manager then went to the suits, interestingly he was a tracksuit manager every time he won the league.....food for though?

I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't look any different to what he does in your avatar tans!

He may well do a Berlusconi and fuck off all the male support staff and employ a load of 20 something hotties instead.

Good shout

Haven't we already employed Andy King once?

well, twice

Is it wrong that I look back at the Andy King era with some affection?

Mafia style black suit and sunglasses  :D

I hope the club start selling Hitler moustaches.

Wrong dictator Benjamin

Huh? I just thinking out loud and don't call me Benjamin.

Sorry.

Hang on before you renew those season tickets, I'd imagine we're about to get "an offer we can't refuse"

You don't renew, you sleep with the fishes.

That was meant to be said in a "and don't call me Shirley" kind of way :)

I think he will be suited for away games
Rumor is that the catering will change and we will be offered Penne Pasta with Pesto and garlic bread before the game and a glass of Pino to wash it down

If he does then at least they should the routines instead of the robinettes at half time in short skirts. Also they should only do it in front of the town end as Flash's eyesight aint what it used to be.

I wonder what management style he'll employ? I have a feeling we'll play a technical passing game based on not conceding... typically Italian. He's got all his coaching badges,so i think it'll be a structured, measured approach.

"In 2001, he won the FIFA Fair Play Award. The previous December, in a match against Everton, in a noteworthy display of sportsmanship, Di Canio shunned a goal scoring opportunity and caught the ball from a cross instead as the Everton goalkeeper Paul Gerrard was lying injured on the ground after he twisted his knee attempting a clearance on the edge of the box. FIFA described the act as "a special act of good sportsmanship"

Hopefully will instil similar values of fair play into the team.

apart from when we play oxford

A little bit of a history lesson, but the Italian approach to football was 'invented' by an Englishman.

Really? As my grandad says, you learn something new every day!

William Garbutt. I keep meaning to read a book about him because I only accidentally stumbled accross his achievments a couple of years ago. Strange he isn't more celebrated.

I'll be happy to win every game 1-0

Ill be happy to not lose

I'm thinking a very expensive, well cut, Italian suit with sunglasses.

All the good managers wear suits.
