In my years recruiting, I've seldom if ever found there was only one "best person for the job". What has been very true though is that you can only hire people that apply, and I've found that, too often, certain demographics can be put off applying if they feel it is hopeless.
I'm mixed heritage, half Anglo-Saxon and half Celt where do I sign?
I do find it odd that only 2 EFL clubs are taking part in this, did all the others say "no thanks"?
The scheme has been running a few years.
Also I'm a bit confused by the "two clubs" claim since Leeds have a vacancy under the Coach Inclusion and Diversity Scheme too. I guess they could be in the EPL next season.

This is hardly Dianne Abbot stuff is it. We are giving a chance to a Coach who otherwise might not get a chance. In an Academy Team which if memory serves me correct finished pretty much bottom. It's really not a big deal. Just let whoever comes in have a stab at it. You never know they might be quite good. If they are not it isn't going to make a lot of difference is it. it also means we have more money to spend on keeping Langstaff!
What a lot of fuss over this. To me it shows the unfortunate undertone of certain posters. I mean let a thousand blossoms bloom as far as I am concerned. If we get a free coach when we didn't have a coach and he happens to have to come from a certain portfolio that's fine by me. if we are giving someone a chance who otherwise might not get one that's also fine. if we save 60 grand on a wage or whatever it is that's also fine. Nobody is missing out because of this. There is only upside.
Who sacks them if they prove to be useless, do we keep them regardless.
