Step outside your bubble for a minute. Think RAWK and then think again. Does you good once in a while man.

So why wasn't West Ham dedication of a lounge to Di Canio brought up at the time, which was Sept 2010, and if it's such a heinous crime, why wasn't West Ham dedicating a lounge to a known fascist a factor in the Olympic Stadium bid?
 
Do your homework before you post such dross pal ffs
i put this on my Facebook given Simon Bird couldn't give me an answer/completely ignored on twitter
What difference is there with Sunderland employing PDC as a manager who made comments about Mussolini and created a huge media shitstorm when employed by Sunderland to that of Luis Felipe Scolari going to Chelsea after publicly lauding General Pinochet and his methods in the media yet with no political fallout when he became Chelsea manager.

What is the difference because to me it seems the only one i can find is the geography between the 2 clubs, West Ham haven't been dragged into trial by media despite having a corporate section named after Di Canio, is this not endorsing Fascism?
How about the Sun employing Di Canio as a football columnist then savagely attacking him not 4 months later for his links to fascism, hypocrisy is the way of the media it seems as it was no problem for a large newspaper to employ him but it is morally wrong and unethical for him to be employed in his profession.

Honored by West Ham as a footballer. Footballers are expected to be stupid. Theyre glorified for their raw talent and contribution on the pitch alone.

Management is a different kettle of fish altogether. Theyre responsible for an entire playing staff of highly paid "assets", for enforcning discipline. They appear at least once a week on national tv, they're singularly responsible for PR on behalf of their club.

And before you mention Swindon they've a fifth of our fan base in a league with a 100 times smaller reach. This time everything is magnified out of proportion.

If PDC is entitled to his views than surely we all are? Why can't we question his past or the club? It's getting to the point when you question the appointment on football grounds you get abuse! Even Benno got it today! Now that was terrible!
 
Well done mate you're justifying the OP anyway.

Im not justifying the OP - its the hypocrisy of the media i have issue with, i.e. parallel with Scolari/pinochet at Chelsea - No media furore there ! Opportunism at its worst - started by Miliband hopefully put to bed by PDC.

David Sullivan saying he wouldnt employ him as a manager unless he renounced his fascist views, the same man who sells Di Canio shirts, mugs and signed photos of Di Canio in the club shop, the same man who sells dildos to housewives getting holier than thou.
 
Basically, all sh-t to one side, he is an ordinary ex Third Division Manager (in old money) with extraordinary views. We have reverted to type, football wise.

But he gives a lot of pleasure. If you buy two rabbits will they breed?

he actively advertises the companies he owns while being the chairman of a club that has a high proportion of U16 Season ticket holders, ethical or not.

So, a more exotic Mick Buxton?

That has been over shadowed. That's what I'm worried about. In the short term he'll do well but the long term I've a bad feel. Hope I'm wrong. Can he handle the egos in the PL? You can't do the things in PL that you did in the L2.

You are asking why the media didn't make a fuss about Scolari's comments while linking to a media article about them.
