    Cawley has just said that supposedly Di Canio applied for the Charlton job before Powell got it.

    His agent wrote to the club offering his services. It said 'passionate' about 100 times. A lot of people applied for the managers job at cafc. Some famous with terrible cv's and some who had taken Charlton to be triple cup winners on championship manager and therefore thought they were qualified to manage a real team. it wasn't just 1 person either. multiple emails/letters with cvs. baffling. one of them was Dec's dad's next door neighbour who was applying on behalf of his dad who he thought could do a 'really good job'.

    I'd have loved Di Canio there. This was after Pardew went.

    Di Canio is a twat and will never get a big management role in this country.

    I like the fact Di Canio doesn't take any crap.

    Also his quotes about Steve "FATboy" Evans are great.

    Thing is Di Canio was without doubt a really gifted player but lets be honest here he does appear to be a few chips short of a Happy Meal

    He was substituted for one error as the 2nd goal was not his fault. Feck me the way some prem keepers are playing at the minute they would have to have 3 keepers on the bench. Reina, Given, Cech and others have all made serious errors this season resulting in goals. Di Canio is wrong here. Taking off a keeper is always embarrassing for him. Not sure Wes dealt with it correctly though!

    He's stated that it wasn't due to the error as everyone makes them, but due to the arrogance that he showed.

    He'll do well.

    Really can't see this unless they make a panic appointment just to please the fans. It wouldn't end well though.

    I've never liked di canio, good player but all that noble catching the ball because someone was lying in the area injured, playing up to the Lazio Ultras, pushing referees over .. nah .. not for me. BUT he is the Swindon manager and if his players don't meet his required standards of play or behaviour he has the right to discipline them. Not to say that he is not risking getting chinned, but so be it. Lord Alex of Old Trafford has had a few bust ups, Beckham and Keane as well as Stam come to mind. He's still going strong.

    could you really imagine what this place would be like if we had an eccentric like Di Canio in charge?

    just for that reason alone im glad he never came.

    It would've been a real lift after boring Parkinson

    But not as much of a lift as SCP

    I think as an interim between us getting SCP he would've been superb

    Especially for how much he would divide this forum

    But we'd still have McCormack and Benson in the team !!

    He would have been better than Parkinson and his mentor Pardew.
    Pardew just tok the piss and the money Parkinson hide for two yaers then was a disaster.

    At least we would have had some naffing passion about the place and the Guardianistas would have hated it ----a major plus.

    The interview is hilarious. He is so passionate, but you do need to keep your feelings in check as a manager.

    I'm sure I'd be classified as a "Guardianista" by some but I would have loved him here... and while I'd have Powell any day of the week over Di Canio I still think he's doing a legendary job at Swindon. Yeah he's eccentric but he's getting the results and all the time that happens the fans will love him.

    Mental but I loved him when he was here.

    Seems like he judged Clarke about right. Perhaps he'll take him back. Or did he knowingly shaft us!

    At least he's now 'forgiven' his keeper: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19468956

    What I dont understand is how any of you understood what heck he was saying in that interview. All I could hear repeatedly was "Are they Mad" about 100 times.

    Di canio is a football legend. A very gifted player and I'm sure he will have a long successful managerial career.

    He is one of few entertaining people of football who speaks his mind and is true to his word.

    The year he gave us changed my original opinion of him, he suddenly became a class act that was a bit mental but fun.

    If Paulo had become our manager after Parkinson going, then this site would possibly have been no more. God knows what it would been like on other Charlton forums.

    Just look at his actions since becoming Swindon manager. People on here would be sniping at each other every day over his antics.

    Replace Fotheringham for Hamer
    Replace Caddis for Hollands
    Replace Clarke for Wright Phillips

    In my opinion it would have been very messy on here.
