Its barmy to suggest that english clubs are against appointing black managers in this day and age. It's simply not true imo. Sad thing is that people buy into this and believe it.

As you quite rightly say, professional football in the uk is probably the most diverse and equal industry in the country.

My theory as to why there aren't many black managers abart is because professional football didn't become multicultural on a large scale here in the uk until the mid to late 90s when the Premiership got big. In the 80s thy ed barely any foreign players let alone foreign managers. Black players were starting to emerge in the 80s. However, with the growth and globalisation of the Premiership it attracted more foreign players and coaches as it grew, it gave opportunities.


Think back to 30 years ago. Each squad was 95% made up of British players with British managers. It's now changed to the point where home grown players are in the minority. It proves that with time people get their chance no matter what their background is. With more cities populations in the uk becoming more multicultural we are now seeing an emergence of black footballers compared to 30 years ago. It's just a question of time before we start to see the emergence of more black managers.

This is our clubs second black manager or mixed race to be possibly more accurate in Val's respect .

Did anybody even mention his mixed race heritage on here ? .

No they did not , it never even entered anyone's head and why should it ? .

That's how diverse football is now Pass .

It doesn't matter because he wasn't hired to tick some diversity box , he was hired because he was the best candidate to coach the squad with the style we have here .

It only becomes an issue when the liberal left tell you there's no diversity at your club and you are then pressured to appoint someone simply to tick a box through fear of being labeled racist .

When will people actually open their eyes Pass and see what's going on today mate .
