Aye, just seen it marra ! “I have clearly stated that I do not wish to speak about matters other than football, however, I have been deeply hurt by the attacks on the football club. “This is a historic, proud and ethical club and to read and hear some of the vicious and personal accusations is painful. I am an honest man, my values and principles come from my family and my upbringing. "I feel that I should not have to continually justify myself to people who do not understand this, however I will say one thing only - I am not the man that some people like to portray.“I am not political, I do not affiliate myself to any organisation, I am not a racist and I do not support the ideology of fascism. I respect everyone. “I am a football man and this and my family are my focus. Now I will speak only of football.” Now can everyone just draw a line under this crap and move on....eh ?
Nice one paolo reel them in get us all over every paper around the world then BANG have some of this and thanks for the free advertising
But we have also learnt who we can trust and who will be waiting to stab us in the back - mostly the phone hacking, police bribing press but also some nearer to home.
Who really cares? Everybody is entitled to their own view, and just because you disagree with Di Canio's doesn't give you the right to have a paddy and sulk about how you really wanted Mourinho or Ferguson instead of a nasty racist man
"@Matt_Lawton_DM: Di Canio now says he isn't a fascist. I'm afraid an awful lot of evidence suggests otherwise." From the sports editor of the Daily Mail. Beggars belief
Yes & do you know why this still carries on? They wont rest until they get the answer they want. Just don't buy their ****ing papers, there's not one worth wiping your arse on.
When we were discussing PDC for the Leeds job on our board, someone posted this link: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/paolo-di-canio-my-life-speaks-for-me-6273526.html It gives you a very good insight into your new manager and certainly fired me up at the time. Football needs characters and he's certainly one to shake things up. Good luck to him.
and in touch with the working man...from when he was at Swindon: "I love Swindon. OK, it's not a place where you can almost smell the history, like Rome or Florence. It's an industrial town. That may not seem 'cool' to some people, but it only makes me love Swindon more. You know why? Because the people here are proper people; people who work hard, often for low wages. And," Di Canio continues, "when Swindon people tell you something, you can trust them, because they mean it. They still have a lot of the values that we had in Italy back in the 1960s and 1970s. Don't misunderstand me. I still love my country. But I've cut the umbilical cord with Italy."
You're talking about a paper so right wing it pretty much ran a story today justifying punishing en masse those struggling on benefits, through the cuts, for the crimes of that Derby house fire couple. Irony doesn't come close
To be honest mate, he has been the best PR exercise this club has EVER had. We have gone global in 48 hours. Lol Come on you ****ing beautiful mad Italian ****er, you'll do for me right now.
Correct Cest. Iv'e had an email from Brisbane about this and I've just sent his quote back. Makes our press look like the idiots they are.
