it is an interesting question - behind the label "fascist" - what is it in particular about Di Canio's beliefs/practices/the way he lives his life - that makes him an automatic no-no to manage the club?

I mean - BEHIND a simple label, "fascist" - in his case - what does that actually mean in practice??

Beyond the swastika, and all that shenanigans, is the fact that he could fall out with any player at any time.

And usually do it publically, leaving no way back.

Blokes a nutter.

Why anyone would want us to consider him is frankly beyond me, and thats nowt to do with his beliefs.............

all of which is interesting - but the question was directed at those who say they would not have him specifically because of the label "fascist". that is NOT the same as saying "I wouldn't have him because he is a nutter or bad at man-management."

Even disregarding his dodgy politics and erratic behaviour(genius or nutter it's a fine line) the question has to be how does dicanio react when the chips are down. It's been up and up so far at swindon but its a short period. Would you trust dicanio to react well under pressure after a run of defeats? It's a pretty big unknown at present.

Dunno, someone one here, can't recall who, claimed he had one tattoed on his arm.

But if not, then read "beyond the fascist salutes"....

I'm slightly concerned that Alex McCleish is now third favourite with several bookies.

I think he might be my "anyone but......" candidate.....

He doesn't have a swastika tattoo...IIRC it's a West Ham logo on his chest and one of Mussolini somewhere. Also a Lazio badge too somewhere, I thnik.

Not a swastika - a huge tattoo of the Roman fasces... He's probably a classics scholar...

some nice images here...

He's got MXV or some such tattooed. It's some Latin thing for Mussolini, a bit like 13 is for cannabis on Hells Angels.

I know, Crazy isn't it that one man we have just sacked gets by with his beliefs not attacked, Yet a prospective new manager is thrown in the gutter automatically because of his. What is the world coming to.

no - but then that is not the question I am asking.

I am asking what people actually mean about Di Canio - his beliefs/practice - when they say that it is the label "fascist" (not his managerial skills or temperament) that debars him from managing our club. I ask because I am genuinely interested to know what people think they mean by this...

some have quickly assumed it means he is racist, for instance - and I am not sure they are right...
