This bit makes your whole post/rant seem a bit hypocritical. Also, if you give backing to players who continually make mistakes, you will lose the respect of the players AND the fans because they'll both know that you're full of shit. The players live their lives in the public eye - when they mess up it's there for everybody to see - regardless of who says what in private or in public. That's the price they pay for getting £40k+ a week to kick a ball about. It's a results business, so let's be patient and see if the results come before making such harsh judgements.
Lets just see how things pan out. Hopefully I am proved 100% wrong then you can gloat to you hearts content
It's not about if I'm right or wrong. You want him to fail. You aren't a supporter.
You say he treats the players like kids. How? To me he's treating them like men, he's 100% honest, he tells it like it is and if our players can't accept his comments (which were blown completely out of proportion) then they haven't got the right mentality, they are as weak as your support for the cause.
They have a job to do and there's no room for sensitivity here. They are under performing and have to buck their ideas up...fast.
You're right. I much prefer when a manager says that we were the 'better team' on the back of a defeat. Or when MON used to laud the 'fine side' of whoever was beating us. It helped me cope, I know that.He must be the only modern day manager to do this then. Lets just see how this tactic of total honesty works then.
You missed your vocation you should have been a motivational speaker or run team building exercises.9 out of 10 people respond to public condemnation positively.This bit makes your whole post/rant seem a bit hypocritical.

Yes, not without concerns though.
Personally I think the mad Italian bastard should be as chased as soon as possible. He is a loose cannon. You treat people the way he does and expect them to respect you and want to play and do there best for you. The players will f***ing hate him, he is treating them like children and running the place like a concentration camp. I thought he would have had the sense to realize you have to rein things in when dealing with higher profile players but no he just cant help himself. He is embarrassing himself and the club and things will get worse in the coming weeks and months imo. Fully expecting him to give a player a dig soon like he did at Swindon. Morale amongst the players must be at a low with the way he is treating them. Would you want to play for someone who is treating you like a child and willing to rant about you when you make a mistake?
It cant be hard to realise for him surely that he cant keep giving the press what they want. They are dying for him to fail and he is feeding them the ammo that they are after. Just keep you mouth shut for a change and back you player. They might respect you and want to play for you. I dread to think where we will be in 2 months time with this loony tunes in charge still.
The bloke is a 100% nut job
Di Canio? Absolutely.
But Short has hung him up to dry and made him look like an idiot.
