Park Life 71 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Paul Ince http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/29402375 Football League chairman Greg Clarke has been accused of "hiding behind excuses" over a lack of black managers. Clarke was criticised for not raising the issue at the League's 2013 AGM but said that was because the club director proposing it left the league board. However, that director, Barnet chairman Tony Kleanthous, told BBC Sport that Clarke was being "disingenuous". Ex-England captain Paul Ince wants the 'Rooney Rule' used to stop the issue being "swept under the carpet". The Rooney Rule is used in the NFL to ensure black and ethnic minority candidates are adequately represented in the interview process for head coaching positions. Former footballer Garth Crooks, 56, claimed Clarke had "bottled it" by not bringing up the Rooney Rule at the 2013 Football League annual general meeting - and called on him to "consider his position". Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor had earlier told BBC Sport that Clarke had "promised" to take the issue to the League's AGM. Ince, 46, who managed Blackburn in the Premier League in 2008, told BBC's Football Focus Forum that the Rooney Rule was "something we should implement" to increase the number of black managers. At present there is only Chris Powell at Huddersfield and Carlisle's Keith Curle in the English game." This is the old chicken and egg thing. Not enough chances can't prove themselves or summink...

ClubSpinDoctor 0 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) There's a disproportionate number of scottish managers and not many black Scottish folk. Simple Edited October 1, 2014 by ClubSpinDoctor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 They're saying that there is loads of black players cause of their althleticism and skill rather than intelligence...Same with white Enlgish footballers (not that intelligent)...Not sure what to make of it?

Park Life 71 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 As usual, we lead the way. 2 black managers in our recent past. Was thinking that. In one of the articles they were saying as how Hughton has proved himself to be of an intelligence to manage and the way he carried himself etc..

ewerk 31202 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 There are only 14 black coaches in England with their UEFA pro licence. Looks like they aren't making much of an effort to get themselves employed as managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15716 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 This is just like Iceland, where they've announced that half of the songs in their Eurovision preselection have to have female songwriters. It's a slippery slope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a slippery slope. At first I thought you were going to say Iceland have announced at least half of their puddings will now be black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
