Predictions please Ladies & Gents. Club first, length of service second.

Aston Villa. 9 Months.

Home. The rest of his life.

Chelsea would be funny as hell but no chance. I reckon Leeds

Coventry, until next Wednesday.

Oxford. 1 season.

QPR when they are relegated and Harry "retires". 18 months.

Lazio

Who would want the hassle?

Doubt it, he had a falling out with the owner.

It might be quicker if we just list all the clubs where he hasn't pissed someone off. Can't be many of them.

I don't give a fuck. He's gone

Another bitter man.

West Ham

3 years and a League Cup win.

West ham. Two years

Coventry - In a swap for Leon Clarke!

Leeds, 18 months

Villa for about 5 months before throwing his toys out of the pram and flouncing (sp?) off into the sunset again.

Manchester Road, 1 minute 24 seconds

Fred Elliot lives in a Maurice Malpas world

That would be my bet.

We need/require an appointment who will rock the shit out of the bland footballing world. Create a stir, upset the authorities, fuck 'em.

Vinny Jones

Most clubs dont have a pot to piss in - so that rules out the majority.

I think we know wherever it is it's got to be somewhere that will enhance Brand DiCanio.

I reckon another little upstart club with delusions of grandeur

Good luck to him but he's gone and once again I am still right here! coyr

Sometimes i wonder if you are actually a Swindon fan with the things you come out with. Your first two sentences are true but are you implying we're an "upstart club with delusions of granduer"?

As has been said before the West Ham Board are a little conservative and predominately Jewish. He's not even going to be thought about there.

Lazio really can't afford to have anything to do with him. He left there under a bit of a cloud last time around as his the board had enough of him because of the controversy over his relationship with the Lazio Ultras, the Nazi saluting and everything.

With that same group of Ultras having just got the club hauled up in front of Uefa for the 4th time in the last year or two for racist chanting, resulting in them having to play a couple of games behind closed doors, I can't see them falling over themselves to bring "the dux" home.

Leeds are probably the only club I can think of that are desperate enough for success, and generally bonkers enough to appoint such a loose cannon.

FFS - when we appointed him we didn't know what we were getting - it happened to turn out well (until the end, anyway)

Now other clubs know what he is like was the reason for my upstart club comment

Paolo will wait until Sam gets the sack at West Ham & apply for the job... It will be one of 3 outcomes:

1
They'll employ him and he'll stay for three seasons doing do well to keep them up this year, get relegated the following season and get the sack when all the players are either training with the yoofs or refusing to play for him

2
They'll take him on and after 6 weeks Karen Brady will get fucked off with his constant whining and refusal to talk to her except to demand cups of tea and telling her how shit she is at making tea compared to Curly Whithers

3
Brady will see sense, realise it's too bigger risk and not even interview him... He'll go back to Italy, return to TV punditry and never manage again.

My money is on number 3

Where: To his room for a massive sulk.
How long will it last: until puberty

Sheffield Wednesday, 6 months

He'll go somewhere else.

He'll do quite well.

I sort of agree with the sentiments that he has to change his ways in terms of the constant falling out with players, he'll get pulled up on it the higher he goes. Clubs won't stand for players on 40/50k a week not playing because of minor little misdemeanours. I'm not saying Paolo is wrong to do this I just think these days player power is uncontrollable, Paolo will find it difficult with bigger egos/better players.

If he learns from this which I find no reason to why he shouldn't he's got all the attributes to be a successful manager.

 

My guess would be Leeds, 18 months...then West Ham....then he'll retire.

he'll go where he wants
he'll go where he wants
yes I think so, don't you?

Agreed.

:D
