Tranmere too... It's not the fact that he's black but simply the fact that he's crap.

This.. ^^^

 

Fed up of crap black managers playing the race card, plenty of white managers are shite and all and struggle to stay in their job..

Didn't see it, but on the basis of what I know, I don't agree.

 

Barnes apparently said "A white manager loses his job and gets another job, he loses his job, he gets another job. Very few black managers can lose their job and get another job." That claim is made based on what..., the fact that he can't get a job in management? Chris Hughton done okay after getting bagged by Newcastle & Norwich...., or Chris Powell after Charlton.

How many white pro-license holders versus black coaches are out of work? No..., John Barnes can't get a job in football management because he's sh!t at it.

 

Les Ferdinand says "that entrenched racism in football is responsible for the disproportionately small percentage of coaches from black and ethnic minority (BME) backgrounds". Based on what? Around 4(ish)% of England's population are black. 5 out of around 116 managers in England's top 5 leagues are black...., so around 4%. What's disproportianate about that?

 

PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor voiced his belief that football has a "hidden resistance" preventing black managers getting jobs. I'll bet that more than 4% of football players in the top five divisions are black. Is that not disproportianate? What have Les or the PFA got to say about that?

 

No doubt racism exists in football, but is it really any worse than in the rest of society? Where racism exists I think it should be challenged, but I don't think the nation's media shouldn't be giving creedance to these sort of accusations without a bit of substance to back them up...., which there isn't.

Thank Fukc For That . . I Was Sick Off Watching Him Start Every Game , No Matter How Bad He Played They'd Roll Out The Next Game & There He'd Be Starting Again . . Liverpool Fans Use To Say To Me "But You Don't Understand The Opposition Put Men On Him Which Lets Others Have A Free Role" . . I Right Then !!
