Paolo Di Canio: Di Canio

Di Canio Dept: Former British Foreign Secretary David Miliband quit as Sunderland vice chairman soon after Di Canio was hired on Sunday, citing "the new manager's past political statements.", according to Winnipeg Free Press. "Talk about racism? That is absolutely stupid, stupid and ridiculous," Di Canio said in a statement. "The people who know me can change that idea quickly ... of course it hurts me because people try to take your dignity, and that is not fair. I believe in my pillars and I have values." LONDON - Sunderland manager Paolo Di Canio and his employers strongly rebutted suggestions he is racist after a club executive quit in protest at the Italian's past support of fascism. But Sunderland indirectly accused Miliband of creating a "political circus" since Di Canio succeeded the fired Martin O'Neill and dismissed the criticism as "insulting." (www.immigrantscanada.com).
