Paolo Di Canio For Bolton!

Paolo Di Canio wants the Bolton job!

Ok, he doesn't exactly say he wants it but he's not going to while employed by Swindown Town. But he doesn't dismiss it and his carefully chosen words suggest he'd consider it.

WOW! This would be a brilliant coup for BWFC. It would even get me excited again.

Come on, get behind Di Canio for Bolton!

Never going to happen.

Shut it you fat bastard. If a manager doesn't dismiss it then he's interested.

I'm going out buying a new Wanderers shirt with "Di Canio" on the back.

Di Canio would be a great choice for manager. For a start in his managerial career he has a 62% win ratio which should not be ignored. He was also a great player which always helps. And perhaps most importantly he makes it clear he is in charge and won't stand for any messing.

I would be chuffed if Di Canio got the job.

we will go for a manager were we wont have to pay compensation to another club.

Plus, Di Canio is a total nutjob, he is defo not the 'yes man' Gartside wants. canio will want total control.

Im not saying id not have him - i would, I just cant see it.

Barking mad! But I like him

Eddie Davies has probably had enough of 'yes men', hopefully he'll see the major impact Di Canio could have on Bolton Wanderers.

Di Canio would raise the profile of the club and put more bums on seats - that should be all the club care about.

I agree raising the profile of the club and putting bums on seats is an important issue, I think he would be very much like jose morinio at Chelsea - A kind of likeable, cocky nut case of a man! you cant argue that having him around would get us noticed, he also will have a lot of 'clout' with transfers and the like, so thats good.

but winning games is also very important.

He is absolutely barking mad as well as being extremely passionate. He would be a very interesting signing indeed. Mo's mate Roy wont be happy!

never going to happen.

If Di Canio wants to be successful higher up the league he will have to tone down his antics.

It's all very well in "LIGA WAN" but "big club" chairman won't want the kind of publicity he brings.

Ignoring the fact he is mad as a box of frogs, the guy is obviously getting the reustlts at Swindon which means he is doing something right and should be considered, I can't imagine Swindon wanthing a lot in terms of compensation.

Wouldn't argue with him being appointed that's for sure.

Why is Paulo di canio such a popular choice? He's a tool with non existant man management skills, just look at the way he treated his goalkeeper. Maybe his way of doing things works with unknown players but I can't see KD or matt mills putting up with him.. Matt mills ended up nutting the Leicester boss for christs sake! Di canio would fail miserably with us as we are too big for him.

I know solskjaer is a big risk also but I feel his way of management would work and he could maybe even promote us...

Chairman want success. Di Canio might be a bit barmy but he's not a trouble maker - he simply puts the club first which is what every fan should want.

For me Di Canio ticks every box except experience of the Championship, but it's a risk worth taking. I reckon he'd have Zat Knight out on loan at Accrington within a week.

Don't get me wrong, i think he's done a good job at Swindon and I'm fond of his take no shit attitude. But punching players, sacking them, subbing them at half time?

He takes it too far, he definitely, definitely won't get the job. Gartside is looking for a cheap, cheap appointment IMO, and if you read the other forums the rumours are Appleton is a shoe in to work alongside Sammy Lee

I have to say that would be a extremely odd move, to promote SL, who was an unmitigated disaster. (don't forget this is the move Gartside pitched to Coyle) and then to have him work alongside someone who hasn't done anything exceptional at Pompey, granted he's worked in extremely testing circumstance and obviously has some skill in the motivation department but it's some step up.

I'd back him of course but it's an appointment that would really underwhelm me. Especially seeing SL come back into the fold.

Di Canio is a man who gives a shit about the job he is supposed to be doing, if anyone gets in his way or in the way of the club he is working for - then he gets fucked off, like his keeper did.

I liked that, hes got big balls... so to speak.

he will tell players like Knight and Ngog to sort it the fuck out or fuck off... in those words...

The WBA fans tipped Appleton to be their new manager after Hodgson left for the england post so he must be half decent.

Lee is an exceptional coach IMO, he has worked at the very highest level and we all know he isn't manager material but as an assistant I can't think of many better who worked under big sam when he was here.

As for Di Canio subbing them at half time, it isn't the worst thing in the world, some of our players this season have deserved to be subbed after 10minutes lef alone half time.

You want change .... there you have it....... better or worse at least somat will happen instead of just plodding along in mediorcrity.

So you're saying there should be one rule for Kevin Davies/Matt Mills and one for lower league players? This is where Coyle went wrong, treating the players like they were world class and not to be messed with.

Sometimes a good telling off or being hauled off after 25 minutes sends a message to the players (and fans) that the manager is running the show and if anyone crosses him they will be out.

Thats one thing, a punch up with the players is another.

nothing wrong with a task master, a violent one... hmm.

Ive be shouting for di canio for over a month now. Saw this and i was VERY EXITEEEE
