Di Canio regains control of Sunderland in military coup 24-09-13 PAOLO Di Canio has declared himself Sunderland manager-for-life following a brutal coup. The time for diplomacy is over The charismatic manager, who was fired for poor results on Sunday, stormed the Stadium of Light with tanks and helicopters before making an impassioned address on the clubâs YouTube channel. He said: âIt takes time to turn a club around and the players I have purchased this summer deserve a chance to settle in. That is why I have seized this club by force and have ordered a reel of piano wire for my talks with senior players. âNo longer will this club operate under the communist rule of the FA. Where is the logic in winning a war and leaving your opponents to fight another day, or letting a player leave who then comes back to score against you with his unbroken legs? âTwelve points have been stolen from us this season. The communists might settle for the loss of three points to West Bromwich Albion, but I say no! I say we must take those points back! âTo this end I have authorised a low-level bombing raid on the Hawthorns, to be followed by a lightning strike by our infantry led by Lee Cattermole.â Fans gathered around Sunderlandâs ground were thought to have hung effigies of chairman Ellis Short and caretaker manager Kevin Ball from lampposts, until it became apparent that they werenât effigies. Peterborough United, Sunderlandâs opponents in last nightâs League Cup game, have confirmed they received a fax from Di Canio requesting their unconditional surrender. In peace! GKRK
So we're calling him a fascist ourselves now?(or at least condoning it) A week ago a post of this nature would have been met with total disdain.
Just a bit of fun I reckon mate - and the OP's a Liverpool fan! Very good OP - like a bit of fun in these situations
I'm up for a laugh, had a good go on the if Paolo was a Mod thread. Up to you lot, I've more self respect than to show myself up as fickle for a cheap laugh.
Appreciate the good response. It's from The Daily Mash. Don't worry, we got ripped to shreds about the Suarez debacle earlier in the year. Good luck with the rest of the year (after this weekend, at least...) GKRK
