Hands on Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 We have been here before with Corney waiting and waiting in the hope players will take less money. I thought we had an option on Mouse but have offered him less money to stay on hence the delay. Having said he will not sign players until he has a head coach I'm not surprised he is delaying finding somebody. The odds for relegation and promotion suggest we will finish 15th. Looking optimistic as time drags by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been about 28 signings made by League 2 clubs other than us so far since the window has opened from what i can see. Just answering the question by the way i don't know if that's a lot or not for this stage of the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s down to unconscious racism. How else is there so little representation- black people can’ t coach??? I think it’s terrific, and it will hopefully lead to BAME coaches and managers being the norm, rather than the very rare exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true and their is a case for doing something you are only required to interview one BAME candidate so you are not going to be forced to give one a job. We have a huge number of BAME players but not enough go into coaching and management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiseowl Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 1 hour ago, mcfluff1985 said: Absolutely ridiculous rule Yep - but we live in a very strange country - just look at Labour's "gender balance framework" within their ranks - absolute load of horse shite. Forget about the best person for the job - went out the window years ago in many spheres. We have a media (and many institutions) littered with left wing idealists - witness the massive campaign on the ground to get the "Muslim voters" out to vote for Labour in the Peterborough by election (it worked). The UK is a scary place at the moment - and I`d say the anti-semitic lefties are the scariest of the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcfluff1985 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 If you're a racist you won't give the job to the coloured fella. It's that simple. Being forced to interview someone based on their skin colour, not their ability, is absolutely fucking ridiculous. I'll stick my neck out here and say Sol Campbell struggling to get a job was far more to do with him being a fucking mentalist than being black. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not helping your point by use of the word “coloured” there given its South African apartheid connotations.

L1onheartNew Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Does half decent manager who is interviewed for the job based on his/her love of the game with little or no interest in money fall into the minority ethnic category? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
