Personally no problem with Race, gender, skin color, sex ,age, religion etc and certainly push for diversity of coaches
Powell always comes across as a likeable intelligent guy but we end up with the Sol Campbell thing that he dosent get hired because of his skin color
Do Chairman really sit around saying "We aren't having a black manager because off the top of my head I can only think of Paul Ince and Jean Tigana who have got sides promoted thus we need a white manager! "
Batson, Agboola, Cunningham, Regis, Moses, Anderson, Daley, Gayle, Barnes, Blissett, Chamberlain, Thompson, Fashanu, Chidozie, Crooks, Davis, Rocastle, Berry,Hiliare, Carr, I guess those are the names from my growing up generation and looking at the list how many did go into management? Two, I know of
There is no right answer, plenty of for/against`s and arguments either way without sounding racial
Thought would be an interesting thread
