All fascists to Swindon! Avanti!
Apparently a lefty trade union has cancelled its ties with Swindon as a result of this appointment although I have yet to see firm confirmation of this.
ReplyDeleteThe club has quite a good merchandising bit on its website and while I would not normally dream of endorsing a club's commericial side owing to the gross exploitation of fans that many clubs indulge in, wouldn't it be a blast to have nationalists up and down the land wearing Swindon clothing? An upturn in sales would also send a subtle message to the club that Di Canio's arrival at the club is popular with many. Heck, I will even try and forget that he played for Celtic!
