chris_sabian 0 Posted October 11, 2012 I do want Hughton to do well but I just think he is the wrong man for the job. I think DiCanio (who I orginally wanted to replace Lambert) is the man to instill the fearless attitude back into the squad. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted October 11, 2012 Dont think anything will happen for ages. If it comes to a need for a change this guy could be a huge gamble, but with the potential to be a great success. Lots of passion and would keep the messageboards busy. He may just be the ideal fit for a club like us, there again he also could be an unmitigated disaster, not a lot in the middle. a boveril type manager you love him or hate him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smudger 0 Posted October 11, 2012 [quote user="Mister Chops"]No, he''s mental.[/quote]Yes and exactly what we need. Under Hughton we have turned back in to nice little Norwich in a matter of weeks.Di Canio is one of many names that were mentioned during the summer who would have been far more likely to succeed as manager of City than Chris Hughton. We got the wrong type of character totally and have reverted to form in rolling over and having our bellies tickled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted October 11, 2012 Under Hughton it feels like inviting a burglar round for tea.

Jacko 0 Posted October 11, 2012 Di Canio is definitely not what we need Smudger. To be a successful manager you need your players to respect you. I think players will always respect Hughton. He will never criticise individuals in public or interviews. Players would run over hot coals for someone like Bobby Robson. Not because he was a shouter or because he was "tough". But because players felt that he had their back. Di Canio is the exact opposite. An example being his decision to substitute his goalkeeper after 20 minutes against Preston. He has completely hung out to dry and humiliated a player who has been outstanding for him in the season since arriving at Swindon. He has completely alienated his captain Paul Caddis who was one of the outstanding players in League 2 last year. Neither decision can be said to have been in the best interest of the team. Both have shown Di Canio for what he. A loose cannon who is obsessed with the limelight. Respect is a 2 way street. It has to be earned. You don''t just get it through cheap shots and actions like Di Canio''s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smudger 0 Posted October 11, 2012 Well if our players respect Hughton so much then I will expect that our results will illustrate that over the coming weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted October 12, 2012 Wouldn''t want him anywhere near Norwich - the intensity of media attention in the Premier League and Di Canio would not mix well. He can get away with his ridiculous behaviour in Swindon as it is easy to brush off in League One, but try that in the Premier League and it will be damaging to the club. There are already stories of player choosing not to move to Swindon because of Di Canio - Norwich can''t afford to miss out on transfer targets because players feel that it isn''t worth working for a racist/facist/idiotic manager (who has managed to get a rich club promoted from League Two).

CambridgeCanary 0 Posted October 12, 2012 This thread is worrying evidence that this message board is transforming from mass hysteria to collective insanity.

Dion Dublin=Legend 0 Posted October 12, 2012 Despite the rumblings on here about Di Canio''s man-management style, no-one has pointed out that he''s actually been incredibly successful at Swindon throughout his 18 months in charge and despite the odd fall-out with various players. I thought he would crash and burn as a manager but you don''t achieve what he has so far if the payers don''t respect you.He''s a winner. Remind you of anyone?

chris_sabian 0 Posted October 12, 2012 Absolutely not a hoax. He is a winner - he has been very successful at Swindon.He takes an absolutely no nonsense approach with his players that verges on the extreme but this has hardly damaged results on the pitch where it matters.

Yobocop 1,096 Posted October 13, 2012 Di Canio in charge of Norwich now there''s a thought So when he''s come in and totally alienated our very close knit group and we lose every game miserably, I suppose all of you vultures will just stand back and watch? There''s a massive difference in managing in league one straight to the premiership and di Canio would struggle Hughton will keep us up this year as we will not get any worse than we are and in fact keep getting better and there will be one or two red faces on here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 0 Posted October 13, 2012 "Dion Dublin = Legend"He has done well to get them promoted from League 2. But Swindon with their budget and fanbase should be one of the better teams in League 1. They should never really have dropped down to League 2 in the first place. So if people are going to laud Di Canio then you must also give Hughton similar credit for getting Newcastle back up to the Premiership in similar circumstances (big fanbase and budget relative to the league they are in). Surely he is also a winner applying that logic. You can''t have it both ways. We''re doing the best we can on tight budget. Hughton has shown his credentials for doing this at Birmingham. I have so far seen no evidence that Di Canio could do this. The fact that Swindon are now under transfer embargo for overspending adds further weight to that argument. I am firmly behind Hughton despite a poor start and some curious decisions because I haven''t seen one name suggested (indeed Wizard dodges this question whenever its asked directly to him) which would be a clear and obvious improvement on the current manager. Indeed I think most of the names are nowhere the calibre of Hughton.I am not blindly going to say we''re staying up. The league table doesn''t lie. Results haven''t been good enough and we are in seriously danger of the drop. But I think making a change at this stage with no high calibre option lined up will just see us doing a Wolves and becoming utterly embarrassing this season.

Old Shuck 183 Posted October 13, 2012 Clough didn''t exactly hold back from insulting and berating his players-and publicly-if they didn''t come up to his high standards-didn''t stop him winning two Championships, two European Cups and loads of League Cups! If they didn''t like him and his methods-Martin O''Neill-they got out. If he didn''t like them-Gary Megson, 0 appearances and Asa Hartford, 3 appearances-he more or less threw them out of the door, he publicly said of Megson, the first time this now well known phrase was used, "Megson can''t trap a bag of cement". Funny how they all went onto play for us and two of them managed us! Of course, things are different now. Managers can''t lord it over the players like some kind of Victorian Squire ruling his serfs-but the ones he did rate, who did stick around and who did see it through with him, they won plenty of honours, got international caps and, in the case of Tony Woodcock, went from a nearly failed Division Two striker to an England international and playing in the Bundesliga. Cloughie was a Socialist (when Socialism still existed politically in this country via the Labour Party) and Di Canio is the other end of the spectrum-and neither hold back from their views either! Lots of parallels in a way, as Di Canio has also bombed out players he didn''t like without a second thought. Whether he will have the success of Clough is another matter-as is whether he will be able to "manage" in the way he has at Swindon at a higher league club. You would suspect not.
