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

yes, i recall nowhere near the amount of hysteria when Scolari was appointed, they are merely a footnote in that article, whereas with Di Canio they are the main point of the articles.

Perhaps Scholari handled the media rather better than PDC who, in fairness, is a relative novice.

No.

Try again.

I dont know mate.

What did Capello say?
 
If the mags had appointed him most of you wouldn't have ever stopped with it it like

I'm really glad he's our manager but the persecution complex on here at least has been impressive

.....and perhaps in the long run for the greater good.

Nothing much, a bit like Di Canio.

There was probably something more important happening in the news that week though.

From faux outrage to persecution complex in 48 hrs.

Canny :lol:
 
There are a couple of our high profile Twitter types who are still posting links to articles. One is posting links that 100% proves he's a fascist, another is posting links that 100% proves he's not.

The only thing that was 100% true is that his views were not 100% clear.

His statement today fixed that. I think the two Twitter folk I mention are so lost in their argument that they've lost sight of what point they're trying to make.

The whole thing is a mess. Short started to panic and made a rash decision to sack MON and got a manager in a reputation and the whole shitstrom started. If it was any other club we'd be laughing at them. That statement should have came out on Tuesday at the press conference. The media will never pass up a juicy story and they got their teeth into this one. The whole thing has gone to far now. Let's talk football!

Has to be said. Red and white specs on lads.Anyone in football would have had the same treatment with those remarks in their past. Lets drop the persecution complex eh?

I'm a sandalista left wing git who has spent many a night on the smb (sadly) arguing against racism, the bnp and any other right wing topic I could get my teeth into to.... however the press over Di Canio is absolute double standards

Do you honestly believe this press backlash would have happened if he was the new manager of West Ham? Until recently the press were talking about him as a Hammers legend who'd potentially return to the club as a hero, he was on the BBC commentary team last year, and recently managed a professional club in Swindon :confused:

I think Di Canio has made the most important comment of all.

Politics and football are nothing to do with one another.
 
similar in the sense he is described as a fascist yet was the overall reaction similar when he was installed as England manager??

I think the difference is that Capello expressed an academic admiration for fascism, whereas Di Canio had the tattoo and salute.

Whatever the meaning, there's always going to be something shocking to us about pictures of familiar people doing that salute.

This notion that there's a conspiracy specifically against Sunderland seems daft to me. If anything, we're unusually well represented in the national sports media. I can think of four senior sports writers in The Guardian alone who are Sunderland fans, for instance - Wilson, Glendenning, McCarra and Taylor.

Of course it wouldn't.

Milliband kicked it all off, and with the help of some media manipulation the story spiraled.

It's not going to go away!

Not on here it won't because a few spelks have backed themselves into a corner.

In the real world it's Fish and Chip paper.

Today's statement drew a big fat line under it. There's no point hectoring journalists on Twitter, for the most part they were reacting to confusion that the club and Di Canio helped create. And of course some twisted and exploited it, that's the British press, but I don't see the point in trying to get journos to apologise on Twitter, as a handful of our fans are doing.
