Paolo Di Canio Footballer, manager, Italian, fascist.

Sunderland FC have signed a new manager to try and help them avoid relegation from the Premier League. I actually quite like Sunderland as a football team. There's nothing wrong with their fans and they have some likable players. Despite this, I do now hope they get relegated. Their new manager is Paolo Di Canio, a self proclaimed fascist.

I have no idea how this is acceptable and why Sunderland have chose him. Even if you ignore the fact he is a fascist, he only has 95 games of managerial experience. These 95 games were with League Two side Swindon Town, who were not involved in a relegation battle.

Going back to his fascist tendencies, he has also said he hasn't voted for 14 years. He claims it is because the Italian politicians only think about themselves, now this may to a certain extent be true, but he could still spoil his voting paper. I don't think anybody has the right to complain about the government of any country if they chose not to vote.

On the whole Di Canio seems, well, a bit mental. Perhaps more to be pitied than scorned, but either way, Sunderland FC defending signing a fascist? What the hell is going on?
