Could not have said it better myself theo. You see on the news in america the great furore over the existence of 'white privilege' and right wing nutjobs like Bill O'Reilly denying it exists when nothing could be further from the truth. This is EXACTLY the same thing. People saying 'oh it shouldn't exist because everyone gets a fair crack of the whip' is just a delusional argument. You're saying that because you're white! Of course you are going to think if you have the experience everyone will get a fair crack at a job. It does not work like that, there is still huge amounts of racism in football, particularly amongst the old guard of 'traditional' dave bassett type managers we have in this country, too many if you ask me and black managers are not being given the time of day until we force this rule change. Then maybe we can use that argument everyone's using of the person who's best qualified should get the job because at the moment, that isn't true.
