PDC Considering Future

[Shaw Rosso]

Cash-strapped Swindon are ready to sack manager Paolo di Canio – because he is too expensive.

The extrovert Italian faces the axe despite a good run of results at the League One promotion chasers, where he is paid a thumping salary.

Di Canio claimed last week that he was “considering his position” after star Matt Ritchie was sold and he was given no money for new players.

Now Swindon’s potential new owners are poised to change manager if they are given Football League blessing to take control in the next 48 hours.

Buyer Jed McCrory is keen to land Brian Stein and Mike Newell as the new management team after the pair worked together at Luton.

Stein is pals with former Banbury United supremo McCrory. Newell has been out of the game since a spell at Hartlepool but is keen to return.

Di Canio’s exit would be unpopular with Swindon fans but the former Celtic, Sheffield Wednesday and West Ham star's reign has been a strain on the Town coffers, with his own wages a major factor in the imminent change.

So a football correspondent thinks you sack a manager and it doesn't cost a penny.

Jesus wept

[Processed Beats]

Can't afford his wages but can afford to sack him and pay him off? Ridiculous article.

And Brian Fucking Stein! Who I doubt has managed a good dinner let alone a league team. Utter utter bollocks. At least no one will read it.

They even put it on the back page. What a load of old gash

Brian Stein is part of the consortium that put McCrory in at Banbury. And one of their first acts was to get rid of the then Banbury manager and replace him with Edwin Stein, Brian and Mark's brother. All of which may just mean of course that the journo's looked into that past, decided it constitutes a precedent and put 2+2 to make 5.

Equally, we know Di Canio's not cheap, either the man himself or his methods. It's a big part of why our current board fell out and why Black now wants out.

So I think I'm getting there, Rufus Brevett, Stein, Banbury utd, this is a yellow conspiracy to get us from the inside isn't it?

It's more likely red-top horseshit to be honest. I'm sure we'll know soon enough

Unfortunately I think There is substance to this story.

Who is Brian Stein?

If we get Brian Stein in place of Di Canio, I think our fans' reactions will make a Di Canio post-match interview look tame (and coherent) by comparison

I could easily imagine a full scale riot, the likes of which we have not seen in a long, long time!

I'm sure everyone would be prepared to give Mr Stein a fair chance to prove himself
