“At the moment, to be honest, after watching some games in the last few weeks, apart from some individuals I didn’t see that real fire,” he explained.
We all know that this appointment wasn't just done over the weekend.
Short has obviously approached Di Canio quite a few weeks ago and given him a watching brief. He obviously thought very highly of O'Neill as a man but finally realised that it just wasn't going to work.
He is a hell of a businessman and has taken this chance with Di Canio.
I hope everything turns out well for him, Di Canio, the club and for us, the fans.
