Anyone else read the Paolo Di Canio column in the adver each week? Always a good read.
This week he makes the comment...
"I promise the Swindon fans that if you keep me I will give my heart, stomach and everything. I will not leave until I have done my job. If we do not go up we will do it next year and I will still be here"
Call me a gullible old fool but that's just what I want to hear from the manager of my team!

Certainly can't fault his attitude and commitment.
Hopefully he'll be here next year managing us in the league above. Just need the results to become as consistent as the quality of his rhetoric.

every manager asked that question will say exactly the same. Di Canio just says it in a more flowery way

I take your point (I did say I was probably a gullible fool  ) but whether it's the "flowery way" or something else I do feel more inclined to believe him than if it was coming from some of the more conventional, cliched managers out there. Lets face it we all know he says what he thinks (often when he shouldn't) so on that basis I really don't think he'd say such things just because it's what people want to hear. |

I'm ignore such statements of commitment. Thank Luggy for my cynicism.

Hmmm. If we are still in League 2 next year he'll be here... but if we go up, we won't see him for dust...?

Its pointless to second guess if, when or how he will leave.

Agreed. I do think that quite a bit of what PDC has to say is literally translated into english - and that where the problems arise. |

Of course he'll be here next season if we don't get promotion - no other fucker is going to give him a job if he can't get a club like ours out of League Two at the first time of asking. Though I can see him hanging around a while anyway - he always comes across as having been a Swindon supporter for years, sure it's bollocks but it's convincing bollocks.

In fairness, everything Luggy says should be prefixed with: "Aside from Plymouth".... |

I totally agree with you on the fact of loyalty. I believe he will see out his 2 year stint with us and if we went up to the Championship, I still believe he would stay with us unless West Ham come in for him. Remember, he was loved at West Ham and he loved it there. |
