At what point do these stories make Di Canio's position untenable?

All this bother isn't going to attract potenial new signings, whether it's true or not.

If the article is a fair representation of the situation, we have handled this very badly indeed. - Why come out with the 'not as good as I thought he was' statement if, weeks/months later, it runs the risk of looking like a bare faced cover up to explain the player's absence?
- Why (did the board) come out with unequivocal backing for PDC initially? This looks suspect, now that that backing has had to be watered down.
Sign players? Let's sign someone who knows how to handle the media. Not good at all. |

What's the chances we're looking for a new manager and chairman this summer? All this bad press could so easily have been avoided. |

Does anybody else find this contradictory.
Swindon's lawyers claim they've apologised for an inappropriate remark, yet they claim Tehoue's claims as spurious.
It just doesn't seem to make sense

IF, big IF, he did racially abuse JT, he should be out the door immediately. |

not a lot has changed though has it?
Tehoue and his agent/lawyers are still maintaining that Di Canio used a racial insult towards him. The club maintain that no racial insult was used towards him but have now conceded that a comment was made...nothing to say it was a racist comment or could be interpreted as such.
The BBC are just trying to stir up the story as it has gone quiet.
Don't agree. Now the club is admitting there is substance to it. This is very bad indeed and I have no sympthy for Di Canio if he said something along those lines. |

I do. Hate to say it, but the contradiction needs to be explained by the club (ie Jeremy Wray), who is probably sick to the back teeth right now of having to deal with the media. |

Maybe they can see how the remark can be seen as inappropriate but at the same time do not consider it to have been said as a racial slur. |

They claim he was referred to by his skin colour. So is it racist to call someone black or did he use the N word. I'm guessing the club are claiming the former was 'inappropriate'. |

It is this sort of thing which will stop PDC making it to the top. It will also erase part of the 'aura' around him, which contributes so much to recruitment.

Why don't we know what the alleged remark is?
One would have though Tehoue et al would want to make it public to drum up public support

It's a strange area, if you call someone a fat cunt, ginger cunt etc, is it the same as calling someone a black cunt? |

Think this is the beginning of the end of Di Canio staying at Swindon, I read somewhere he told people he would leave if found guilty. I have a feeling we will have a new manager by kick off now, given Di Canio's previous history, the media will be all over this like a rash which will ultimately lead to Di Canio leaving I think.
