Poor. But then David Moyes is our of their reach as I can see him being the next manager of Chelsea when Roman doesn't backtrack and bring back Jose like the fans want.
If confirmed the Sunderland board ought to hang their heads in shame at appointing a self confessed Fascist as manager
BBC are confirming this now too: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21990117 Maybe a year or two from now I'll look back at this post as evidence of how little I know about football but replacing Martin O'Neill with Paolo Di Canio? Really? I'd have been gutted if we'd appointed him, how must the Sunderland fans feel? As I say, madness.
On purely footballing grounds.... Anyone who expects Di Canio to succeed where O'Neill has failed, is missing the proverbial sandwich. Anyone who thinks employing a fascist is a healthy idea for their football club is missing the whole picnic.
Fine and one match ban: <img src="http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/66691000/jpg/_66691785_lzq5abb7.jpg"/> Lifetime national ban: <img src="http://rt.com/files/news/1e/5e/c0/00/rtr3f43d.si.jpg"/> Hmmm. Anyway, look at that top picture and imagine telling your kids that's your team's new manager.
