Totally agree. Press trying to make a story out of nothing
I think it's a broader point being made, and not specifically about the Fleetwood role.
Yea, like a Russian easy lay.
Barton, despite being a massive quim, has some friends in the game. Sol evidently has none. I don't think his colour has anything to do with it.
I'm not convinced, but I obviously hope you're right.
It’s only Fleetwood, Mac.
Excellent
The white guy?
Hard to compare if one never gets a job
Again, as I said, without knowing the whole story, it smacked of racism
Now more of the story is added, less so
So those Sol Campbell - Joey Barton comparison was an example made in reference to this Rooney Rule (which I just learnt about).
Rooney Rule: What is it, how does it work and how will it affect English football?
[article]The ‘Rooney Rule’ dictates that sporting authorities – in this case within football – must interview a Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) applicant when recruiting for senior coaching positions. There is no quota or preference given to minorities in the hiring of candidates.
The rule isn’t necessarily restricted to sport and has been adopted across a number of other industries.[/article]

Nepotism makes the world go round.
I don't care about the Fleetwood role but there is a lack of black managers in football.
It could obviously be for any number of reasons, mind.

Black fellas can't manage seems to be the main thought process
Jonathan Liew is a boring, try-hard cunt
Being mates with Joey Barton is worse than racism.
Quick, someone convince Oli that it isn't the bad racism!
Weirdo.
Premier League shooting itself in the foot bringing summer transfer deadline day forward warns Everton's Sam Allardyce
[article]Sam Allardyce has told the Premier League they have “shot themselves in the foot” by closing the summer transfer window before the rest of Europe.
The top-flight has voted to bring the curtain down on deals on the eve of the new campaign instead of going through the usual unrest and uncertainty that comes with players switching clubs after the start of a new season.
But the veteran Everton manager has argued it is a recipe for disaster, both by crafting a brutally short window already hindered by the World Cup, and also handing a massive trading advantage to rivals leagues overseas.
“From a personal point of view, as a manager who deals with it, yeah, I think the Premier League has shot itself in the foot,” Allardyce suggested.
“I think the difficulty for us is that other countries’ windows stay open a lot longer. I can’t understand that. You are giving them an advantage.
“It is always us who suffers in changes that are not beneficial to football in general.”
In particular, the Everton boss believes the Premier League is handing a massive business advantage to their rivals unnecessarily, because the window will shut for its clubs at 5pm UK time on August 9, while the rest of the continent will stick to the traditional August 31 cut-off.
“This summer the window will be even shorter anyway. There is very little business done during the World Cup finals, clubs tend to wait until afterwards,” he added.
“So how does that leave before the window shuts? About three weeks - that will be make it even more difficult, and give very little time to get business sorted.”
What the experienced manager fears will happen, is the continental clubs will have their pick of the market at a much lower price, when the rich teams in England are forced to close their doors on business early.
“I thought the FIFA regulation was we had to fall in line in the same window, which is why our system got changed many years ago.
"But now they’ve decided other countries can shut their window earlier or later.
“Last year they stopped us getting emergency loans because we have to fall in line, but when it comes to the shutting of the window some can keep it open longer than others, I just find it very difficult to comprehend or understand.”[/article]

Richard Garlick - Premier League (Director of Football)
[article]The Premier League is pleased to announce the appointment of Richard Garlick to the newly formed role of Director of Football.
Currently Director of Football Administration at West Bromwich Albion, Richard will be joining the Premier League’s Executive Leadership Team to oversee the primary football administration functions including football operations, football relations, youth development, coaching and young player education.
Richard, a qualified solicitor specialising in sports law, worked for a number of law firms before moving into football administration.
"We are very happy to have secured a person with Richard’s knowledge and experience to take on this vital role at the Premier League," Premier League Executive Chairman Richard Scudamore said. "He is well known to clubs and respected by all.
"He joins a great team and together we can continue to provide the best possible service to our member clubs and the many organisations that have come to depend on the Premier League for leadership and guidance in a range of football matters."
Garlick said he was looking forward to seizing a "great opportunity".
He added: "Having sat at the Premier League table on the 'other side' for almost eight years, I am confident of being able to add something to what is already a very talented team as we continue to strive for improvements in all areas of football administration and young player development.”
Garlick joined West Brom in 2010 and worked in senior executive roles at the club before being appointed Director of Football Administration four years ago.
He is a former FA Councillor and represented the Premier League on several Football Association bodies.
He will take up his new role in the summer, as agreed with West Brom.

[article]ALBION can today confirm that Richard Garlick, the Club’s Director of Football Administration, is leaving to take up one of the top positions at the Premier League.
Richard, 41, who has been a key figure at The Hawthorns for eight years, has been appointed the Premier League’s first Director of Football, a newly-formed role within the hierarchy of the biggest league in world football.
Richard will stay in post during the summer before taking up his new duties but admits it will be a wrench to leave behind a club which has come to mean so much to him and his family.
“It’s an opportunity that is impossible to turn down and one I am very excited to be taking,” said Richard.
“But of course I am very conscious that I will be leaving Albion at the lowest point we have experienced in my eight years here and that is not something I lightly dismiss.
“Albion has become my second home and come to mean everything to me and my family as the Club built a successful period of growth within the Premier League.
“It’s always been a challenge but it is one I have relished every day and to be leaving it at this moment is not easy.
“All I can say is that we are all keenly aware there is a major ‘rebirth’ to be planned this summer and I will do everything I can to help that process before I move on.”
Richard was appointed Director of Football Administration in May 2014 having previously occupied posts as Legal Director/Secretary before advancing to Sporting and Technical Director in 2013.
He qualified as a lawyer in 2002 and specialised in sporting disputes before joining Albion where he was appointed to the board seven months later.
He is a well known figure in Premier League circles as a member of the Premier League’s Legal Advisory Group. He is a former FA Councillor and member of the Football Regulatory Authority, FA Cup Committee and Chairman of the FA Judicial Monitoring Group.
His exit was greeted with disappointment by Chief Executive Mark Jenkins - but good wishes too.
“I have tried to persuade Richard to stay but the opportunity the Premier League have offered him is one anyone would find difficult to turn away,” said Mark.
“He leaves us with our very best wishes in his new post.
“We will be sorry to see him go as he has been an invaluable member of our senior team for a long time.
“But Richard will play a leading role in helping us through some very important decisions in the remaining weeks of his duties. He will continue to work closely with Technical Consultant Giuliano Terraneo and myself on the important challenges we will be tackling.
“I want to assure supporters that we remain determined to take an opportunity this summer to re-launch the Club into a new and positive era.”
Richard’s new role will see him oversee the primary football administration functions at the Premier League, including football operations, football relations, youth development, coaching and young player education.
Premier League Executive Chairman Richard Scudamore said: “We are very happy to have secured a person with Richard’s knowledge and experience to take on this vital role at the Premier League. He is well known to the clubs and respected by all.
“He joins a great team and together we can continue to provide the best possible service to our member clubs and many organisations that have come to depend on the Premier League for leadership and guidance in a range of football matters.”
