Di Canio: I have NOT been misquoted by press
6:00am Thursday 20th December 2012 in Sport By Sam Morshead
TOLD YOU SO: Paolo Di Canio
PAOLO Di Canio does not feel as though he has been misquoted by the local press, stressing he has a “very good relationship” with Swindon’s media.
Earlier this week, Swindon Town chairman Sir William Patey suggested that what the Robins boss had said in recent interviews had been taken out of context in print but Di Canio denied this was the case yesterday, saying the message he wanted to put across was “very clear”.
The Italian did mention that he felt the negative aspects of some stories have been picked out and highlighted but otherwise he remains happy with how his words have been relayed.
“I have a clear relationship with the media in general but with you more often. Every time you said something about my words or the article that went out it was absolutely perfect and the message was clear in the way I wanted it to go out,” he said.
“I have a very good relationship in this manner. Everybody has got his opinion and sometimes my criticism you can take in two ways.
“If you make a simple criticism, and you don’t explain what you want to do to improve, it’s negative. When I explain why, it’s your decision to write down and point the attention to the negative - but you never changed my words so the message went out clearly.”
Di Canio also pointed out that intimations by Patey that he can become overly emotional after successive defeats were a little wide of the mark.
“He said for example I can be frustrated after two defeats and I can be more angry and say something I don’t want to say. It’s not the case,” he said.
“Even if he tries to help me it is a criticism in some way because it looks like I can’t handle the pressure. I don’t feel the pressure or I feel the pressure all the time - if I win 10 games in a row or lose 10 games in a row.
“My character and my knowledge give me the opportunity to feel strong, even if I lose 10 games in a row, and work harder to improve. But because I feel sure about myself I feel more pressure.
“It’s not a criticism of him. It’s difficult to know each other and send out the right message. My English is not good and in some way he said I don’t communicate well.
“It’s true my English is not perfect but in terms of communication, my body language that I use and when I miss some words or some verbs, the sentence might not be clear but the message is.
“It’s more important to have a better communication but miss some words than have perfect English and don’t say anything.”
The Town manager and his chairman spoke over the phone on Monday and Di Canio was pleased with the outcome.
He said: “It was a fantastic and positive conversation but I don’t agree with some things he said in terms of being misquoted, about the pressure.
“I’m not a stupid guy. I understand everything if you go out and want to send a different message than what I said to you. There is not this problem, especially in here.
“The finger was pointing to the negative but this is a strategy that the media has and we have to respect. If you send out a wrong message that I want to go out in this manner, that was completely wrong I would come back and say now you give me the chance to clarify.
“No chance, I never had this feeling.”

Being totally honest I've been waiting for this to come out from Paolo...he is his own man and doesn't need some retired diplomat to try to re-explain what he said or meant.
---.
Patey was far too quick to come out and issue one of his 'Diplomatic' views of PDC.....almost as though they're turning the political screw themselves - stick with it Paolo and use this with the players to create a siege mentality: Playing Staff v The Board...but do your fighting on the pitch!

I'm sure you was and still is furious regarding all the miles storey headlines, as you said he's done nothing yet, and didn't want to hype him up.
Wish we had more headlines on what ward eats, or perhaps the drunken git Luke McCormick.
Just a thought
Where's sue?

"It was a fantastic and positive conversation but I don’t agree with some things he said in terms of being misquoted, about the pressure".
That's fine by me. Lets hope we are moving towards some mutual respect.
The reported words from Patey did come across a little patronising whether (in the way that they were reported that is!).
Get stuck in on the pitch tomorrow boys!!

Wasn't yesterday lovely, not a word from PDC, he clearly wants to pick a fight, this guy has used the press for ages and is very skilled at it, I wold suggest he will resign soon blaming differences between him and the board. Patey's statement was a smoke screen but gave PDC the chance to move on, put all statements in the past and start again, obviously he doesn't want this. Totally bored with the fool now irrespective of his results

i would imagine a managerial short list was drawn up a few months ago. I'm sure the board would prefer PDC to walk but they'll be happy to push him out if the right man becomes available. People with money don't like their employees to squander it and then treat them with so much disrespect. SWP is MUCH smarter than Di Canio. Only one winner here but PDC won't see that. This is all wasted time and energy.

Well, i suppose Sam's 'off the hook' as to speak.
I do have this nagging feeling every morning before i log on, that the headline is going to be:
'Di Canio Quits Swindon'
Then i log on and think 'Phew', thank god for that.
Then i think, if he quits it'll be in the afternoon and it'll be released as
'Breaking News'.............
Does anyone else have those feelings that something hasn't been write since JW left, and there's something bad just around the corner???
Trying not to think of it, but i love our club so much and i'm so worried.....just wondered if anyone else felt the same????

Come on now, stop taking t'****. I have got well and truly involved in caveman style thinking\dieting. Every time im eating a cream bun and washing it down with a mocha Choca latte with extra whipped cream and sprinkles; I think to myself 'I'm a fooking lucky caveman - thank fook for the evolution of Starbucks, now I don't need to go out with my club, wearing a leopard skin and bash an animal to death before cooking it over a log fire' *sigh*

Unfortunately, this is the way it is going to be. PDC and SWP were two people I would never imagine to have that much of a 'relationship' like that of PDC and JW.
Let's hope we thump Tranmere tomorrow and make PDC re assess his options. The club will definitely be a lot more dull without him in charge.

For an experienced diplomat Patey's comments were surprising. They were very patronising to the fans (well those that want to actually see the truth) expecting us to believe all was fine. Paolo obviously found them patronising too. Sap, could we now draw up some sort of predictions league, who will go....PdC, Patey or Bodin and when they will go. This has to be sorted soon for everyone's sanity. Paolo you are acting like a spoilt brat doing this so publically, have some grace.

the adver asked SWPs view and he gave it and now PDC has said no, that's not entirely right. I meant everything I said. You can't blame him for defending himself.
As I've said before Paolos such a passionate guy that he says everything he thinks.
Nothing wrong with that and he's doing the job he's here to do.
I don't believe the board will push him out, if he was to leave it'll be due to the lack of support from the fans.
Those critisising him over and over are doing the same thing as you're critisising him for doing.
You should think about that for a minute and maybe take your own advice about saying less in public.

I want PDC to stay!!!
PDC's Red and White Army!!!
Like the Leicester game last year, even though we lost, i recorded our chants and we blasted the stadium like i'd never heard in years!!!
The chants even made the Sky Sports reporter mention it back to Jeff Stelling........
If he leaves, he leaves!! But, i for one will never forget what he did and tried to achieve here.....even if he rants a bit, the fire, the passion and the self belief he gave the fans was amazing.......
The board will be hard pushed to find anyone with that kinda passion again.....back to the Wilson 'Crossed Arms' type of manager.......dull after match reports saying how we need to try a little harder and work on a few areas.....loads of excuses....Hey....we
're all used to those kinda after match interviews aren't we.........we've only had those for years and years and years.......
Happy sh1tting Christmas.....i gotta feeling it's got as good as its gonna get, i'm going back to bed......
Why oh why does this always happen to us???
Brtilliant season followed by ....
Oh my god the bubble bursts and we're all left thinking right....what next........who's going to be the manager...........
Then we loose 3 or 4 games whilst PB stands in.....oh possibly draw one.......then they appoint someone; so some fans support the board; others say he's rubbish.....then we start having a go at each other.....
Then in the end, we know none of us can change anything so we go with what we've been given, and have a dull and dreary rest of the season finishing 15th or something and we all say 'Right, there's always next season'...........
Sorry, had to have a rant of my own, feel hoplessly depressed after this article and posters saying they think PDC's off....sorry didnt mean to rant......
Going to put the kettle on and read the rumour site to make me laugh a bit...
See ya laters guys

This is the inevitable result of the Chairman trying to b*llsh*it everyone. I never doubted that PDC has a good relationship with the media. He may be irritatingly indiscreet sometimes but even that is far less of a fault than insulting the intelligence of supporters - and his openness is a media man's dream. The ball's back in your court Sir William - more straight talking and less SirHumphreyspeak please.

And, with any luck, those who are determined to shoot the messenger might now be inclined to think twice before bashing our local media when they are simply doing their jobs.

Well at least Pdchas clarified everything,makes you think i was just a smoke screen that the Chairman has put out.
Yes a lot is lost in trnalation beleve me I speak from experience. Yet we have the new chairman or invisible man.
I do hope pdc will get funds in Jan as some of the players he did bring in don't cut it.But to be honest how many Managers make the same mistake??????
As for Charlie Austin, again was with a Directr of Burnley Fc and from what he let slip every player has a price and with all the will in the world if a good offer is tabled he will go in Jan.
Like he said thhe Town will get a decent % sell on fee and would not be disappointed..Still thye are looking for big$$$$$ and have turned down a sizeable fee already.
Still good on Pdc for sticking by his guns and just hope the Board does back him in Jan
Alas we do not know what happens behind the scenes at the CG yet would be nice to see the new Chairman actually do something
So good luck Town on Friday lets have a super round of results over the next 5 games
GO REDS

I think he has been fantastic entertainment over the last 18 months but I am afraid many times for the wrong reasons! Do I want him to go? No not really, do I want him to shut up? Very possible? Do I want him to stop blaming everyone else when things go wrong? Most definitely. Do I want him to stop slagging people off in the press? Most definitely...

I don't understand why so many of our fans think the only people out there are ex-Town managers. Perhaps we will end up with Jose Mourinho or Pep Guardiola. Yes, that's ridiculous, isn't it? About as ridiciculous as suggesting the only alternative to PDC is a Maurice Malpas or a Paul Hart.

OH DEAR, the anti PDC and neggy brigade are out in force again.
Patey was just trying to calm the waters with his statement, as is his job. But Paolo wants to make it clear that he was not mis-quoted by issuing this new statement.
I see nothing wrong with either of the statements and I don't think that Patey & Paolo have had a falling out. The only time that they are likely to fall out would be if Patey tells Paolo not to say anything at all, Patey knows and we all know that Paolo could not possibly comply with this so it won't happen while promotion could be on the cards.
Patey is a trained diplomat but he's not stupid enough to fall out with the manager while he's being successful, however if the manager fails dramatically then things could change, we all know that Paolo won't fail dramatically.
Yeah lets draw up the replacement manager short list; The usual suspects are Hart as interim manager, and in the frame for the job full time will be same as last time Trollope (groan) Buckle (groan) McGee (bigger groan ) Money (groan) Ling ( groan ) . Anymore failures to add to this list ?
For goodness sake get real !

Well, i suppose Sam's 'off the hook' as to speak.
I do have this nagging feeling every morning before i log on, that the headline is going to be:
'Di Canio Quits Swindon'
Then i log on and think 'Phew', thank god for that.
Then i think, if he quits it'll be in the afternoon and it'll be released as
'Breaking News'.............
Does anyone else have those feelings that something hasn't been write since JW left, and there's something bad just around the corner???
Trying not to think of it, but i love our club so much and i'm so worried.....just wondered if anyone else felt the same????
Louis :-((
I don't want PDC to go, I know he has his rants but the players respect him and he is without a doubt the most exciting manager we have had in recent years.
The board need to give him some leeway and not try to sugarcoat over what he states in the press.
No disrespect to any of the posters on here, most of you are committed loyal town fans...but let's remember one very valid fact about PDC............he's an Italian !!
I've had an Italian girlfriend and trust me rants, raves are just their thing. It's just their fiery passionate character and in truth sometimes it's what we Brits need.
PDC still gets my vote and is the man for the job........end of.

Mind-numbing mediocre has-beens and never-was'. This site seems to harbour an alarming number of total dick-heads. PdC has pulled our club up from its bookstraps and you lot are too much up your own arses to realise what we have got here.
i would imagine a managerial short list was drawn up a few months ago. I'm sure the board would prefer PDC to walk but they'll be happy to push him out if the right man becomes available. People with money don't like their employees to squander it and then treat them with so much disrespect. SWP is MUCH smarter than Di Canio. Only one winner here but PDC won't see that. This is all wasted time and energy.
Hang your heads in shame!

If STFC win every game from now until the end of the season - and Di Canio carries on his rants - does it matter if you are personally "totally bored, irrespective of results"?
As i've mentioned plenty of times - if we are winning football games, does it really matter what he is saying? I'll take a few fans being "totally bored" if it means Championship football next year!

A lot of town fans talk about PDC and say "No man is bigger than this club"
Yet they seem to have a pretty high opinion of their selves and their opinions!
We have just won 2-0 away from home.
If we win on Friday night, would could be within 3 points of the top of the league. In December. The year after being promoted.
My PERSONAL humble opinion is that it shouldn't really matter what happens or is said in the week inbetween. Its all about results.

From this you have decided you don't care if the team win or lose, and you think the manager is a fool !!!
Some supporter - NOT !
Your both entitled to your own unique opinions.......
Lets not fall out between each other.
We have to remain united, even if certain other aspects of our Club isnt.
Now lets all be friends......no-ones a pillock or a fool........
Friends yeah??
Louis :-)))))
So you want a fool (your words) in charge of our team, and you don't care what results he gets
Honestly - does that stack up ?
If STFC win every game from now until the end of the season - and Di Canio carries on his rants - does it matter if you are personally "totally bored, irrespective of results"?
As i've mentioned plenty of times - if we are winning football games, does it really matter what he is saying? I'll take a few fans being "totally bored" if it means Championship football next year!
I'll be bored for Championship footy...
Jesus, i'd tie myself up and gag myself for Championship footy....
In a matter of fact id do all that on a friday night for no footy...Hahaha
Dam, did i really just say that....lol...
The lighter side of forums...lol
Louis :-)))
Its not bad, until you need to be released....and everyones out...Hahahaha.
Have a lovely Christmas mate, and safe journey.
Hope your weathers better than ours.
See you in the New Year mate.....
take care

He may have passion but all his done is spend alot of money, sign players then ships them out, his signing look good then they have to get decanio fit and then they go out on loan, he destroys team spirit . Like criticising Caddis in front of everyone his management stye doesnt leave any way for players to come back. People put up with it because we are winning more than we loose , he spends more time hitting the dug out than watching the game. I hope he goes sooner than later

Sheesh! What negativity. IMO, football is ALL about results. Actually, its an opinion shared by most people especially those at successful clubs. In the past 18 months or so, we got to Wembley, gained promotion and are currently sitting pretty in 7th position in the league, 5 points from top and still half a season to go. In addition, we are not playing too well and can only get better and improve. I fully expect promotion this year.
* What on earth is there to be negative about?
* However, if the doomsdayers on this board have their way, they will hound PDC out and we will soon be back to boring games, boring management, boring, boring boring boring.
* Get a grip people.
* PS. Merry Christmas to all.

PDC is the source of much of the negativity. Some people respond because they love their club and were under the impression that (a) this is a forum where differing views can be expressed and (b) they can express their views without being abused by fellow fans.
Why come on to a forum and moan about others'views? Just start a We Love PDC More Than STFC forum and talk about how much you love Him. LOL.

He boasts he can handle any managers job thanks to his background in Italian football,
He can look back at a frequently turbulent occasionally traumatic, but ultimately successful spell. On the positive side he ended the clubs long wait for silverware, on the negative side, had more than a few bust ups on the journey with players, referees, administrators and rival managers.
He is described as"not an easy person, he has this complicated personality & a control freak" He wanted to be a manager even when he was a player, he was the coach, the kitman, the bus driver, everything. The demanding, perfectionist, obsessive streak has helped his club out of the dark ages!!!! Sounds familiar, No not PAOLO Extracts from yesterday's daily express about roberto Mancini at man city, I'll take Paolo over any other manager, warts and all to take us to the championship.

I definitely want Paolo to stay. He's been brilliant for Swindon.
There will always be a certain amount of friction between any manager and the board. Despite the common goal of success for the team there is a conflict of interests in that the manager will always want more money to spend and the board will always want to spend as little as possible.
Looks like the Paolo - SWP relationship is going to be interesting, but I can't see it is in either parties interests for Paolo to move on.
Not sure a big club will take a chance on him (yet), I doubt SWP will want to pay him off, and face the fans who will be disgruntled to say the least.
Anyway, looking forward to Tranmere tomorrow!

I do have this nagging feeling every morning before i log on, that the headline is going to be:
'Di Canio Quits Swindon'
Then i log on and think 'Phew', thank god for that.
Then i think, if he quits it'll be in the afternoon and it'll be released as
'Breaking News'.............
Does anyone else have those feelings that something hasn't been write since JW left, and there's something bad just around the corner???

As you say interesting to watch the relationship develop and encouraging that overall their Monday conversation was positive. ESPN classics ran a premier league legends 30 min slot on Paolo last night. It was probably a repeat but the first time that I saw it. Great stuff. On to Friday. COYRs!

Being totally honest I've been waiting for this to come out from Paolo...he is his own man and doesn't need some retired diplomat to try to re-explain what he said or meant.

Patey was far too quick to come out and issue one of his 'Diplomatic' views of PDC.....almost as though they're turning the political screw themselves - stick with it Paolo and use this with the players to create a siege mentality: Playing Staff v The Board...but do your fighting on the pitch!

Some on here have regular pops at individuals that have not performed. Their answer is get rid, their no good in fact often they are labelled as far worse.
Are these posters justified in these statements which are in public and are read by the same people that read the articles ?
Paolo doesn't label players or people in this way and he does not hide behind the keyboard.
Should we condemn fans that sing "we want Fred Bloggs out" in a public arena when they want the manager to go ?
Paolo has highlighted the youth team for quite a while, has anything been done ?
A guy was recently in the headlines having been released from prison after the Boat Race incident. Rightly or wrongly, he felt the only way of highlighting his gripe was to take the action he did. Paolo may feel the same about the youth team i.e. the only way something will get done is if I highlight this using the press.
Might be interesting to see if it has the desired effect !

Some posters are asking where the negativity has come from. It came from the club, in the form of the manager telling us that the youth team coach acts like a snake behind his back. Further negativity followed from the Chairman, who chose to be economical with the truth instead of showing the fans some respect. Are we being negative if we discuss these serious issues or are we showing that we care about the club?
Results are NOT the only thing that matters - because sooner or later a club that is riven with infighting will suffer on the pitch. In fact, I think we possibly have suffered already in that respect. Neither PDC nor Bodin can be fully focussed on their jobs if they are constantly watching their backs. Maybe the first team and the youth team would be doing (even) better if everyone was concentrating on the football.
.
Perhaps the Chairman will now tell us that the Adver has misquoted PDC in this report quoting PDC as saying he has not been misquoted.
.
Let's hope we see a good game tomorrow and another 3 points in the bag.

I don't want PDC to go, I know he has his rants but the players respect him and he is without a doubt the most exciting manager we have had in recent years.
The board need to give him some leeway and not try to sugarcoat over what he states in the press.

I've had an Italian girlfriend and trust me rants, raves are just their thing. It's just their fiery passionate character and in truth sometimes it's what we Brits need.

Despite all the negativity on here, I personaly love having PDC here, last year I went to Wembley, watched Paolo run on the pitch NYeve at Northampton and was involved in some of the best celebrations ever at Bradford on the final day of the season, I then met Paolo in Mackenzies and had a photo and chat with him, the guy is learning and I do agree he hasn't got everything right, but I will take his outright honesty, passion and dedication every day, I honestly wouldn't swap him for another manager (who would realisticaly want to come here)

Some may knock certain aspects of his personality but to want him to leave sooner rather than later he must have a hidden agenda.
How anyone can't see that Paolo is trying to improve every aspect of the Club is beyond me.

Hello Swindon Fans
Tranmere fan coming in peace, really looking forward to the game tomorrow night, be well happy with a point, but expect nothing as we class Swindon as one of our bogey sides.
Have looked on with interest your comments about PDC and the board, get real, clubs like ours have their 5 minutes of fame, flirt with promotion/relegation
, its why we support them, unless we get a complete idiot to buy the club with money to burn we will always be in the football 3rd tier with the odd visit to the 2nd tier using what crumbs the Premiership give us (loan players), same for you, the catchment area for Swindon football talent is small, so you need a manager with an eye for decent footballers, was it Wilson that spotted Austin, in PDC you should trust, back the man, you know if he gets you promoted he will be snapped up by a bigger club, thats life, the boards job is to ensure Swindon Town still exist in years to come, at what level who knows, you had a taste of the top flight, we nearly got there ourselves but its different now, too much money involved and the threat of administration if we get above our station.
Good luck for the season, I personally see you in the playoffs but don't think the squad is ready to go up yet, as for us it will depend on our injured players coming back and the effect losing our top scorer has in January.

trfc wrote:Appreciate your post trfc. However, in making the comparison between our two clubs I think you are overlooking an important factor. You suffer from having Liverpool and Everton on your doorstep, which surely must be a big barrier to your progress. The nearest clubs to us of any size are 40 miles away. Our previous chairman always said that our natural home is in the 2nd tier and I agree with him. In many ways, we are not dissimilar to, say, Ipswich. The reason Ipswich are a well established (albeit struggling at the mo) 1st/2nd tier club is that they capitalised on the success they had in the 60s and used it to build up their club. We had a brilliant young side in the early 60s but allowed that team to break up and we fell away. We also had success in the late 60s/early 70s but yet again we blew it. I'd say you have been fighting against the odds, whereas we've missed our opportunities to consolidate at a higher level. This area could easily support higher level football. However, I would admit that it will be harder to generate that support now - even if we do win promotion. Our real chance to become a bigger than average club was more than 40 years ago.

Some supporter - NOT !
Your both entitled to your own unique opinions.......
Lets not fall out between each other.
We have to remain united, even if certain other aspects of our Club isnt.
Now lets all be friends......no-ones a pillock or a fool........
Friends yeah??

His reply...."Pr*ck, should shut his f*cking mouth." This was his honest response, and although it's only anecdotal, everyone I speak to (mainly elderly I admit ) says, he is an embarrassment and a hinderance no matter the results. To all the cult followers, please answer this one question.......What will happen to our club once he rips it apart and leaves? The only reason he hasn't gone yet is that no-one else will have him, he knows this. What state will our club be in when he does go?...in pieces methinks.

It's obvious he hates PDC irrespective of doing an absolute fabulous job for the club! I don't agree with calling people names but his comments are so negative it's no surprise many PDC supporters like me are very tempted to do just that!

Wasn't yesterday lovely, not a word from PDC, he clearly wants to pick a fight, this guy has used the press for ages and is very skilled at it, I wold suggest he will resign soon blaming differences between him and the board. Patey's statement was a smoke screen but gave PDC the chance to move on, put all statements in the past and start again, obviously he doesn't want this. Totally bored with the fool now irrespective of his results

When PDC throws what are left of his toys out of his pram, we WILL need a new Manager.
Sooner rather than later in my opinion, as much as I like PDC, he is a time bomb waiting to explode.
We should then appoint Colin Calderwood. a Town Legend, who treats players with respect and will move us forward.

I can see merit in many of the posters views from all sides. My own view is that while he has done much good and tries to do more, his PR although correct in the eyes of many is not what we are used to.
If he changed it wouldn't be him, but sometimes change is necessary, even if it dilutes.
This is one subject which will divide opinion, probably for ever. Once he does go many will blame others for reasons various. Let us be plain, it will not be the influence of posters here that makes up his mind, it will be words or actions of people higher up in the club, such as the board or chairman.
Considering our form which has varied, ebbed and flowed to be where we are right now is not bad by any means. But caution is now the name of the game, January will bring with it decisions taken at board level over money for additional players. Word is he has had his budget, and with Ward and Bostocks loans coming to an end a hole could conceivably appear in the squad. I hope it doesn't we need them both, but the money men may think otherwise, and that will spark an out burst. I hope he gets the money and gets us into the CCC.
As goes his PR , although I don't like it, we will just have to tolerate it if its a means to an end.
Looking for a solid home win tomorrow night.
Merry Christmas to you all and a prosperous New Year to you all.

Please ease off on the waffle and cut to the point.
Do you want PDC, or do you want him out?

Hi JB, I'll take him for now as he is probably the best we will get while we are in League One. I accept your point on CC but would he come here ?

Gareth Southgate is touting for a job. He'd do well at the Town and is more akin to the Patey temperament than PDC. It's only a matter of time.

Louis,
Are you at CG tomorrow night ? I'm going for it but back on the walking stick again, knees locking up again yesterday and today.
Cheers.
I live in Harrogate buddy, i'm coming down next Wed to see my Mum and Dad in Park South.
STFC have two blummin away games so i'm stuffed again...lol.
Just you keep moving buddy, try not to seize up. I'm not run for 6 days now and i'm starting to feel it. I'll be getting up for my 5 miler in the morning, just to throw a couple of runs in this week.
Not long to go, 3 years and thats me retiring from the Army thank god!!
Just long for a normal, boring life.....I'd give anything for boring right now :-))
Hope we can meet soon buddy; email my general account; louiscassius@hotmail
.com be nice to chat to you offline.
Kind regards; and Merry Christmas to you and all your family Wizz.
Louis :-)))
I knew you were up north and guessed you may be down for the festivities, so might have travelled earlier.
No cartilage mate, too many years of heavy lifting, and RFU didn't help.
All the best for the festive season to you and yours and have a brilliant New Year.
Best Regards.
PS: Been on the rumour site lately ?
The rumour site......who moi??
Hahaha, i live on there you know me....lol.
Doesnt seem to be alot on there to be honest, only Poxford fans spreading rubbish to be honest.
I see alot of people keep coming on with ideas of PDC ripping the Town apart......seems a tad over the top for me but hey, everyone to their own i suppose.......
I agree with you mate, good solid win tonight 2 - 0, hit the post twice that would be nice........
Have a lovely Christmas Wizz and a smashing New Year!!!
Hope to catch up with you mate, email my private account buddy.
Take care
Louis :-)))

Southside, I would guess that even if PDC left the club would survive.
The worry, for me, is if there is nobody to fund it if/when Andrew Black and Sir Martyn Arbib either step down or pass on. We are going to have to be sold within the next five years, irrespective of which league we are in.
We can't force Paolo out, only the board can. I personally have no bones to pick with him and I would rather have him than some of the other 'managers' out there.
Gareth Southgate as manager? Interesting - does he fit the Swindon way though? True, he did a good job with Middlesbrough, but he seems to be the polar opposite of Di Canio (quiet, polite, reserved). I have heard that he has been offered the Scunnie job, and that as he is now based in the North East he might be tempted.
