Vieira gone from Palace


Most managers in the PL are white. Most (I think) managers are ex players. Loads of players in the PL are black. Black people are clearly underrepresented as football managers. It’s not really a debatable point. Whether it interests you or you think it’s important or you want to think about why that might be is a secondary point

I just don't think it warrants a mention. It's like the debate that took place quite a few years ago with British Asian players being almost non-existent.

Where is the basis for debate in that - they obviously just aren't very good otherwise they would be at top clubs without exception.

You think Asian people are inherently worse at football than white people?

Inherently? As in a fictional homogenous grouping?

As individuals they obviously can't kick and head a ball as well as a Brazilian international footballer. Maybe not everyone wants to be a professional footballer of even likes football.

Yeah possibly. But some people find it interesting to look at why that might be or why certain ethnicities are underrepresented. That’s all this is.
 
Meanwhile, behind the 'no win in 12' headlines:
Palace are 12th.
They lost 7 games, all by 1 goal, all
against teams above them.
They drew 5, all against teams above them (Mag's, Man Utd, Liverpool, Brentford Brighton)
Palace have 9 games left, 7 against teams below them and Zaha returning from injury.
Jordan has taken the easy decision and they will probably stay up this season but they would have stayed up with Vierra in charge.
whose jordan?
 
Yes in the same way English’s are shit at kabadee

We would be up there but the powers that be have outlawed the game of British Bulldog in schools. Apparently clothes-lining the div kid from class onto concrete playing yards is somehow frowned upon.
