Paolo Di Canio Sacked As Sunderland Boss

[Eastside Urchin]

Bet he walks into a job within 6 weeks

[Zippy]

Well, whichever club takes him on will be very brave indeed!

 

Not sure where he would go - somewhere like Bolton Wanderers perhaps?

[Big J R]

I just don't think his style of managership fits into English football.

[Zippy]

Have to say that I agree, John.

 

You can't always rule 'by fire'.

[Eastside Urchin]

It's a shame because in my opinion these overpaid scumbag English footballers and to a lesser extent some foreign players need managers who get them focussing on playing football instead of acting like idiots of which a great deal of English players do

[Big J R]

Probably the only ones that got away with it, because of the players respect for them, were Cloughie and Sir Alex.

[Eastside Urchin]

Sir Alex still let his players get away with murder,he just chose when it suited him to reign them in a bit

In practice, he is retired.

 

On the other hand, I still reckon he's bending Moyes's ear-ole.

 

Doesn't seem to be working though !!

No-one took liberties with Alf Ramsey, and he didn't do to badly managing England.

[Eastside Urchin]

I have Xmas dinner with Lady Victoria Ramsey most Christmas days.

Bet you didn't expect that now...

Family

Family

It goes without saying Sir Alf was the greatest England manager that ever lived. I wish her well.

[Eastside Urchin]

I will pass on your comments to her next time I see her.

She still gets phone calls on Xmas mornings and birthdays from the players still alive from his managerial days etc

That's nice, its difficult to believe today's players would show such respect  to a great mans widow.

[Eastside Urchin]

They probably wouldn't.Saying that,football was obviously different back then.She would of been friendly with the players and their families who probably attended most games and probably socialised with each other after games,now the families only really turn up if they are going to get on tv , stay at clubs five minutes so those relationships probably don't exist to that extent anymore

That has to be the biggest under statement ever, you could actually tackle for the ball and there wasn't a prawn sandwich to be seen
