Martin Samuel from the Daily Mail done a bit of work on this about 12 months back. I can't remember the figures now, but having two managers was a correct representation of how many black coaches were going for the top coaching badges at the time. To make this work in the longterm, maybe they should start at the grassroots level and promote more ethnic minorities into coaching for the bottom up then in a few years you will see more coaches being qualified enough to go for the top jobs. Just a thought like.
That of course fails to consider the number of black players discouraged from even trying

The proportion of black players is far higher than those trying to coach

That is a good point, and one that I perhaps should have more sympathy with than I do, but I tend to take the view that football management is one of the most highly pressurised, and unstable jobs in the world. You are affected by loads of things, interfering chairmen/women, agents, bad refereeing decisions, imbalance of finances between your club and your competitors, injuries etc etc, and are likely to be sacked within 18 months or so. If you are the type of person to give up and say "it's all to difficult, I'm not even going to try" then you aren't going to be a successful manager anyway
 
My great grandfather didn't fight in a world war so you Nazis could post racist garbage on a SAFC forum.

I respect your view.

But I tend to view it as a pampered environment, where you get paid a fortune (at the top level) to watch a bunch of arrogant arseholes kick a football. And whether you succeed or fail, you get paid

It's a very simplistic view. If you think there's no job for you you aren't going to bust a gut trying to get qualified for it

That is very true as well :lol:

I agree, but if you're interviewing for a management job, who is going to impress you more, the guy who has busted a gut to get the qualifications and experience he needs, or the guy who has sat back and said "there's no point"? Regardless of their colour, you're surely going to be more impressed with the first guy.

The black guy wouldn't be there :confused:
 
Kind of difficult to discuss the subject of football moving with the times of equality and acceptance when it's patently clear the OP can't be bothered to do it himself.

"Coloured" ffs. Are you Gene Hunt?
 
Who said that black footballers wanted to become managers? Maybe they arent interested in such an unstable job. Fair play to them if they arent interested.
 
How come Alan Pardew was sacked for failure at West Ham, then sacked for relegating Charlton (and taking them to the bottom of the Championship), then unable to get Southampton promoted from the third division (even though they had Rickie Lambert, Jose Fonte, Morga Schneiderlin, Adam Lallana in the side), then his next job is in the Premier League?

We all know why he got and how he still has that job, but I'm not putting it in writing.
 
All of them? They aren't a homogenous body you know?

This board ffs
Using your indignation then what you are clearly saying is that there is institutionalised racism in football clubs.

Is this what you are saying?
