Sunderland should of seen his coming, being a manager in the premier league is always going to be a job in the public eye, even at a smaller club like the mackems or Wigan. His appointment was always going to be scrutinised and talked about.
Re: the argument about politics and football mixing. I can understand people not wanting the two mixed, but ultimatly football shapes and influences millions, so when a club appoints a man who has openly flaunted his facist views on the pitch and in the press in the past, it, rightly should be given the bad press it has received.
It's disgraceful that Sunderland have appointed a man, who made Nazi salutes while playing, the position of Sunderland Manager is one that can influence the upbringing of kids across Sunderland and thats hardly setting a good example is it.
