So, are the people that make the decisions institutionally racist

[7evens]

or are black fellas **** at management ?
I can't see how they can come to this conclusion on the basis of John Barnes, Chris Powell and Paul Ince..
The evidence does appear to suggest secret covern meetings and pointy hats to me. :judge:

to become a manager you have to have certain badges so you can't beat the clubs if there aren't enough qualified black coaches out there.

I must admit there could be some institutional racism when the coaching course are held, be interesting to see what % of white people pass compared to the % of black

[Monty91]

I doubt if a top black manager emerged in Spain or Italy or Germany that he would be short of Enlish suitors.

[Berni]

most sophisticated or progressive people, yes. Most of them are - not to put too fine a point on it - jumped up barrowboys and unlikely to have very advanced views on racial matters.

Of course, the problem is that 'black players don't become good managers' becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as, without enough black managers, there aren't likely to be many successful ones and, without successful examples of black managers to point to, it is easy to dismiss the idea of hiring them.

[Rich]

There is not.

For this reason, I don't think that there's even a point to discuss here.

I'm sure they are happy in whatever their career path of choice is.

despite being bottom of the league, Ince had something like one point from ten games, if memory serves.

[Pokster]

have the 'B' licence but haven't been given the chance to become a manager

[7evens]

Something more than amiss

[Berni]

Do try not to be cretinous, r. :-(

[Berni]

Being **** at managing football teams is no block to being employed to do it in the English leagues.

[7evens]

but you're not allowed to manage a Football team, so to speak.

[Pokster]

when i did my course the instructor did say that when you go for your 'B' licence there is certainly a bias given to certain people... usually ex pro's rather than decent coaches, he was on the course with Merson and Bryan Robson, he said they used to turn up late and pissed and were obviously not cut out for it, they passed and he didn't, then Robson became a manager and gave a coaching job to the instructor that passed him (Nigel Pearson)

[Ben.]

he is a bit like Mourinho in his eye for detail and meticulous planning, even the smallest details are important.

I mean, personally, I think it's a disgwrace that there are no jewish managers, or players for that matter.

I mean, George Cohen was the last decent footballing jew*.

We're called Yossi's Yiants, hebrew lads are good at science. Grabbing Arab land and it's all grand.

YOSSI'S YIANTS!

[Berni]

Actually, though, is this not more to do with jews being relatively rubbish at sport?
