    No he isn't. But being the undemocratic **** he is, he thinks he has a right to.
    Does the banner belong to him?
    Does it ****.

    **** the bigots that slagging our paulo, you have just secured you premiership future. You will get 200 percent from paulo and from your players, along the way he will embarrass you he will make you laugh some days you will hate him and some days you will love him, but mark my words he will put your club 1st, I can't wait for him to manage West Ham. He is the most passionate person I know in football and I say we'll done paulo show them what your made of,, good luck guys not that you need it

    All The Best,

    If PDC were a little bit fascist in his political leanings, I would still rather have him at my club than a member of a government that started an illegal war, shook hands with the IRA and swamped this country with millions of unwanted immigrants.

    Nowadays it is seen as okay to wreck a country with liberal fanaticism, but not to be patriotic/nationalistic. What a sickening situation!

    I think Sunderland have made a fanstastic appointment in PDC. I wish you all the best for the rest of the season.

    Where were all these people when mclean refused to wear a poppy on his shirt that was disrespectfull to the veterans.

    I have never been in a union and won,t join one yet I don,t refuse to support Sunderland becase they have a miners banner in the Stadium.

    No other manager joing a new club has been asked what his political views are.

    Im a Sunderland fan im not there to support anyone or anything else and yes I was around when the prick Scargill was about and the power cuts

    I'm a union man through and through, and firmly believe they have done great things for working people...I also backed the miners strike of 1984 both financially (donations and helping mates) and physically (joining marches). I witnessed first hand how the mass media wove webs of deceit against the miners in order to discredit their cause..And it is for that last reason why I'm so disappointed with the attitude of them over this..They have just jumped in without giving the bloke a chance..

    When Union leaders started to talk about bringing governments down in the 70's and 80's I took the stance that it&#8217;s the ballot box that decides that not undemocratic institutions like Unions.

    They had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century as far as block voting and public shows of hands to vote for industrial action (where intimidation was rife and I saw that personally for myself back in the he 80's). I am a left of centre political animal but certainly not a communist or a supporter of some of the more radical unions.

    I blame Scargill and the NUM for landing us with 18 years of the worst PM in history and the most devastating sequence of governments from 1979 until 1997 and the emergence of Blair. Scargill wasn&#8217;t interested at all in the miners but rather wanted his own political ambition recognised. He split communities and families every bit as much as the police and Tories ever did and led the biggest suicide charge since the charge of the light brigade 130 years prior to it. The miners strike was about the hardest working set of people being led by ****ers and charlatan&#8217;s hell bent on destroying the Thatcher Govt whilst supporting the hapless Michael Foot to retain power in the Labour Party and hamstringing Kinnock from fighting a proper political fight.

    I loathe and despise Scargill for what he did as much as I loathe and despise Thatcher and he is the reason I would NEVER join a union again.
