Was talking to an old boy last night who is normally spot on with his info who said Dave Jones is being lined up to take over from Paolo if things don't improve. Just looked on Wiki and it says there Jones is in talks to work alongside Paolo as Director of football ?
Could be the Dave Jones i know who works in Frattelo's.
Talking about a new manager shows what a worrying situation we are in. It's looking like the fears we all had that it could all go horribly wrong with Di canio may be coming to fruition. Bust ups with players,bizarre squad rotations,subbing players early on,no days off for the players,extreme training are not appearing to be working. Saturday infront of the sky cameras is now massive. Their viewing figures for a basement league game will be great for them now.
I love it...most exiting its been since the Macari days,for me anyway,a manager and person who will do his own thing,good or bad,was going to play golf this season rather than watch the Town but the Paolo appointment soon changed that,the football purists are already slagging and knocking him...6 matches into his managerial debut,but i can tell you this if we win the next two matches the town will be buzzing because there are a lot of fans who are not so deep into the football politics that will love him.
I for one cannot wait for Saturday,and i didn't think i would be saying that two months back.
Been following for 40 odd years now and was sad to be thinking about knocking it on the head,granted the golf will suffer but fuck it.
Roll on Saturday and....Paolo Di Caniooooooooooooow!
