"Swindon Town fans can now order a customized home shirt, complete with Di Canio 10 on the back! Although the new boss has retired as a player he has been handed the number 10 shirt for the entirety of the 2011/12 season."
Never heard of any club giving the non playing manager a squad number.
Just a money spinner.

Could be worse, we could've done a Reading who have their squad no. 13 as "Reading Fans".

Apparently (could be rubbish) one of the first thing Di Canio asked about (along with the dvds of all our games) was what days we train. Anyway he was told the days we train and his response was.
what? only once a day?
That will soon change I think.

Good on the club for making the most of a high profile manager.
Those that want the shirt will buy and those that don't won't.
If it generates a few extra quid for the club what's the problem?

I seem to remember something that many do train twice a day - but it shouldn't be a surprise to him - after all I doubt Wendies or Harry's Hammers came back in the afternoon to do a tactical session.

I watched something a while back about AC Milan training. They do 2 or 3 hours of ball work in the morning and then another 2 or 3 hours of fitness work in the afternoon.

I haven't got a problem with it. I understand why they've done it and it make business sense. I suppose I'm just a romantic, I want to see the number 10 shirt on the pitch. Heck, we could sell well with a 25+ goalscorer wearing the jersey Di Canio left English football 7 years ago. Perhaps I'm underestimating his popularity.

our players have been doing similar for years. not every day, but often weights etc is done after training. they train,go to the club to eat, then fitness stuff in the afternoon.
