Hes on about off the field positions like not on the pitch. For a sport with such diversity in the playing staff it doesn't seem to transfer to coaching or roles in the FA etc.

Have you noticed how many chefs in Chinese restaurants are Chinese? It's not a very diverse industry.We need more Chinese players imo.
To your point:This race baiting shite has to stop. It's beyond parody when successful black people whine about lack of opportunity in entertainment and sport based on race. They're massively over represented as it is. It does race relations no favours at all. If we're going to go down the route of so-called positive discrimination and enforce proper representation in employment, I don't think black people would like the results...
As for the argument that there aren't many black managers, so what? Perhaps not many black ex-players want to be managers? I'd like to see actual evidence that clubs are turning down managerial applicants because they're black.
I notice a lack of Asian managers as well. That's a massive continent with many diverse cultures and ethnicities. We have quite a sizeable Asian population here from as diverse and distant as Turkey to Japan.
People should be employed on merit. Nobody should get or be refused a job because of their ethnicity. It is impossible to do otherwise without excluding people based on race, which is exactly what we don't want to happen. Or is it..?
I'm sorry but this is absolutely ridiculous, football has to be the most diverse sport in the world and to introduce an initiative where you have to hire a certain % of people based on their skin colour is very dangerous.
That’s hardly a proportionate representation of ethnicity in the UK now is it? I guarantee that more than 6.7% of UK citizens don’t identify as white.figures showed just 6.7 per cent of senior roles in football are taken by black or mixed heritage people
YesIs it though?

Neither is 43% of players being non-white but no one complains about that.That’s hardly a proportionate representation of ethnicity in the UK now is it? I guarantee that more than 6.7% of UK citizens don’t identify as white.
Look at how patronised he feels man, the race based questions are insulting. Mind, they have been shit since he took charge, but it's got nothing to do with his skin colour.To your point:
Not just applicants but take into account qualifications and ability too.
I'm sure nobody wants someone in a role they are less qualified for than their peers for just because of skin colour or sex right? That would be racist and that's what this is about right?
thats the shit jobs that no one wantsThere’s hardly any black referees. But no one is bothered about that.
Why would a football club be willing to pay a black man millions of pounds a year to play but then not willing to pay them to manage, purely because they’re black? It’s the most backwards, inconceivable notion I’ve ever hear.Their are excellent studies out their that show if 2 applicants with identical CV’s apply for a job- the CV with the non British name is less likely to get to interview. Less likely to get an interview by 25%. So nothing to do with who’s more suited for the job.
So how would they even Know that info ? or companies have openly gave them that info by saying that they would be less likely to offer an interview or job to a non-British sounding person/name. Yeah rightTheir are excellent studies out their that show if 2 applicants with identical CV’s apply for a job- the CV with the non British name is less likely to get to interview.

Pretty easy. The person running the study creates and sends the CV’s.So how would they even Know that info ? or companies have openly gave them that info by saying that they would be less likely to offer an interview or job to a non-British sounding person/name. Yeah right![]()
Probably made up, surely if they were identical the person reading them would click on. Pretty sure most cv screening is automatic these days, so are we saying the software is 'namist'. I mean what is a 'british' name anyway?So how would they even Know that info ? or companies have openly gave them that info by saying that they would be less likely to offer an interview or job to a non-British sounding person/name. Yeah right![]()
Did you say something about "beyond parody"?This race baiting shite has to stop....

Isn't that not why he's launching the scheme in the first place? If no black people were interested in non-playing roles in football, then this won't get off the ground.This race baiting shite has to stop.
