The amount of energy he used up was quite incredible .he spent a great deal of the game gesticulating and shouting at his own bench .I wonder what they really think of him?
He has had a shed load of money to spend but appears to have spent it quite wisely
I would for various reasons never want him to manage our STFC but my question is do you think tactically he is a good manager or just a manager at a rich club? (for now at least)
Genuinely open question

I think he's a pillock, just who was he ranting at all game? Anyone who would listen?
Should've been sent to the stands for repeatedly leaving the technical area
Makes it all about himself, egotistical prat

Did feel sorry for the guys on Swindon's bench having to sit there while Di Canio ranted at them. Seemed a very one sided conversation
Swindon certainly kept the ball better than us, in part as they closed us down well. So in that sense would say he got his tactics right

At the moment he is good for Swindon and vice-versa. He is getting the financial backing to be a success and he in turn is raising the profile of the club and managing to achieve decent results. From what I saw yesterday they have a decent squad - their bench would walk into most teams at this level - but they are well set up too, which is ultimately down to the manager.

Far from ranting at the bench it looked more like he was coaching them and keeping them involved in the game showing what he expected when they got there chances rather than ignoring them like most managers do.... would like to see more passion from our coaches - not necessarily GT although I think the time he spends in 'the royal box' for the first half would be better spent showing RW why we need to spend more if we want to compete in league 1..... certainly he doesn't seem to change things to our advantage in the 2nd half which he seemed to last year! Time to do something different........................

The fact that it's him gives him an edge - it makes the club attractive for potential players and means players will often be quite intimidated by him, making praise from him more rewarding.
I'm not sure he's particularly great when it comes to getting value for money for players - didn't they pay ~£400,000 for Luke Rooney in January? If he was in charge of us, I don't think he'd do well, but with a club like Swindon where he's got cash to splash I think he's a good manager.
His volatility has lead to him falling out with plenty of good players; something we couldn't afford - imagine if Turner did to Richards what Di Canio did to Caddis!
However, I've heard that he donated generously to the Dean Holden collection as well as organising a whip round from the Swindon players, which has gained him a little more respect.
Whilst he's definitely dislikeable, egotistical and narcissistic, I do have a lot of respect for him and sympathy as well, for what he went through with his losses last year.
I'd imagine when he inevitably goes to West Ham we'll be able to view him as more of a character than the annoying prick we see him as now, simply because he won't be in competition with us.
So overall, I think he is a good manager, but only if the club is right for him.

A clueless idiot who might just lead Swindon to back to back promotions? Ofcourse its early days and his man management skills leave a lot ot be delivered, but he's hardly a 'clueless idiot'. A lot of Shrewsbury fans feel threatened by him and I'm not entirely sure why. Like I said it just seems to reak of bitterness and envy.
A fantastic player who may put to bed the philosophy that great players can't make great managers.

When you look at the money they spent on agent fees last season it just sums up the finances they really have available. I'm not saying anyone could have got them promoted last season or be doing well with them this season, but he's been given as much money as he wants it seems.

Fair point is the chairman very rich .or are they spending beyond their means and does the wage cap come into it at all? |

He's very entertaining to watch, it's like a pantomime. Money or not he's been successful so far and if he can keep some sort of lid on his more crazy outbursts he will get a chance at a higher level sooner rather than later.

I stood behind PDC for his post match. His best line was when he was asked why he made two changes at HT. He replied because he could only make two and not seven!

I cant stand the bloke but there's no denying that a lot of people would love a passionate, straight-talking manager like Di Canio.
Ever since he was appointed Ive heard regularly that he will be gone in x months and that anyone could get promoted with the money they have spent. Well he's still here and there's plenty of managers who have had lots of money available but failed to deliver (cough.....Paul Simpspson).

It's not like that Preston fans were impressive enough I'll give praise where I feel it's deserved. Supporting Man U probably makes most fans seem amazing to you |

It's far too early to talk of di Canio as a great manager. One season and a bit - he's made a good start, that's all. Plenty of ultimately not so great managers have done that. Let's see what happens when he's managing a club that isn't one of the biggest fish in the pond and when he doesn't have the financial backing he's so obviously getting now (which Swindon can't afford on gates of 8,000).
The cult of personality has taken over at Swindon - you only had to see his Christ-like salute to the fans on Saturday to realise that he's become bigger than the club. I know the BBC only ever refer to "Paulo di Canio's Swindon Town" but maybe they should put that sign up at the stadium as well.
That can't last. It will either go sour at Swindon or he'll move to a higher club. Not sure it'll be West Ham as everyone seems to expect. Maybe Sheff Wed if their slump continues? Maybe Norwich, who could be getting desperate around Christmas?

When he did take over I thought he would get sacked after a few months. He has done very well, a promotion and doing good job in League 1 but it could be argued any half decent manager could achieve that with the money they have spent. He has a very strict approach which is fair enough but some of the stuff he has done are ridiculously over the top.
He is a bit of a tool but not quite in the same league as Evans for being a total w****r.

Just saw on their forum that Di Canio is a better manager than Turner.
Interesting to compare a manager who has only had one full season to one that has had 34 years in management.
did also see that Turner will never manage a club above league one even though he already has , Villa in the first division and with Wolves in the second division and also discovered a certain Steve Bull.
Dick Anio has got promoted to league one so far on what was a big budget.
If Di Canio was in charge of us without any money to spend on transfers in league 2 i'm sure he would fail and if Turner was in charge of Swindon with more money then he would definitely do better.

I don't think there's much point comparing them, both very different personalities at very different stages in their careers.
But reading Di Canio complaining he needs a top striker, with Collins, Benson, Williams and Rooney on their books, I'd love to see what he'd make of our striking options!

At a time in my life when I should be mellowing I find myself getting easily wound up by idiots on forums such as "The Town End" There are a few decent posters on there, but there are also a lot of ignorant, one-eyed to$$ers who are unable to see beyond the god DiCanio. For that reason I hope he departs very soon and it all goes financially tits up for the other STFC. Call it jealousy, call it what you want but I admit to developing an unhealthy dislike for them since February.
