Chris Powell calls for the Rooney Rule
#14
Hang about, about four posts into this conversation with myself, I realised I ought to rein it in.

I stand by my points, but by the time I get to 600 words, it really should be elsewhere.

Basically, much as I agree there's fewer black managers than one might expect, I do wonder if that is - at least partially - as a result of (English) black players being predominantly forward players, when defenders or defensively minded midfielders are more often selected for management roles. I know that English football is biased towards those who physically develop earlier, and I also know that black children tend to grow to maturity faster than white; so they stand out earlier in school football.

All that said, across Europe, only France seems to hire a 'decent' amount of black managers, even if Antoine Kombouare is the only current one who springs to mind.
Et in Arcadia Ego.
