Fucking hell its going to be 'the Dirty dozen' all over again, the ruling the yanks had was there had to be a black in a lead role or some shit, so they covered him in bandages head to toe and told the Germans he was burnt on the Russian front FFS.

You can't force a manager on any club because he's black, the criterea is 'Is he any good' not 'Is he fucking black, white or green'

Wheres all the fucking Chinese managers, theres none of them managing a footy team in any division, Who stands up for Asian rights!!!

Fuck it and while we are at it, Wheres the fucking Woman Managers or referee's??? Eh Eh??

 

[Halmeister]

This is fucking stupid.

Allow me to join the chorus of disapproval. It's a daft idea and won't be workable. What if there are no black applicants for a particular job? What if a black applicant gets it ahead of an apparently better qualified white applicant and the latter sues? Far from being a solution to the problem, I can see this making the problem worse by providing new opportunities for racist prejudice rather than combating it.

Agreed. I also see certain prospective black coaches having trouble, because of the resentment from the club at being forced to conduct an interview.

angry white people = reverse racism

angry chinese people = sideways racism

 

[FoxForceFive]

I think the big difference between us & American football is simple, there's a much larger amount of professional black players & a HUGE amount more black amateur coaches.

I may be wrong, but from a layman's perspective (ie, no facts & figures at hand) that seems to be blatant.

Players like Managers should be picked on merit.

Interviewing Black Managers is not quite the same as hiring them. It won't work.

I think they should do this for 100m sprinters too.

Am I wrong to chuckle at this?

You were supposed to, but also rub your chin and nod.

 

[Portly]

Actually I was surprised to see Chris Hughton classified as a black manager.

 

[Cerberus]

Pandora's box eh? There's a big budget porn parody in there somewhere. With capes and sandles and stuff.

 

[KopKing]

Sounds like a good initiative to me. Anything that increases the talent pool and is more inclusive cannot be a bad thing. 2 Managers out of 92 given the ethnic make up of the playing staff suggests that something isn't quite right. The PFA should be applauded for seeking to redress a clear imbalance.

No one has issue with the FA addressing this issue, bit imo its the wrong way to di it

Focus on grass roots rather than this

DID THIS MUTHA FUCK JUST SAY "ROOTS" ?!

[Avmenon]

If they were serious about this, they'd be looking for ways to encourage more blacks going into football management, and then seeing if there were inherent barriers against this and dealing with that. Forcing clubs to interview people is pointless.
