Black manager.

Well if we just take England women's manager, Hope Powell, and cripple her, then we have the three criteria; black, female, disabled.

I'd like to see Viv Anderson's reaction to that

I don't agree with what he's saying about they should appoint a coaching staff member because of skin colour, you're credentials should decide that. I do think though that its harder for black players to get into management though, so I can sort of understand what he's saying. Les Ferdinand talked about this issue, and he came across well, it was a good article.

ince had a great chance to proove that black coaches are upto the job, he failed at blackburn, john barnes had a great chance at celtic, he too failed, both highest callibre as players but to be honnest not anywhere near good enougth for prem, or international coaching jobs.
its not a black thing its just that no plack englishman has yet prooved to be upto the top jobs.
but given time it will change forever is a bloody long time.

Barnes is a rare example of a black coach instantly getting a job at a top level. Ince got the Blackburn job, because of his success with Macclesfield and MK Dons, he had to work his way up the lower leagues. What Les Ferdinand was saying is that the likes of Roy Keane, Southgate, Shearer, Pearce, have started out at the top, and black coaches aren't given that opportunity.

Goater for the job if Mancini doesn't get 4th? It's possible...

I see Viv Anderson is calling out England should appoint a black manager, Why should we??? at the mo theres not one good enough, I'm all for the racism campaign, but why should we appoint a black coach if he's not good enough??

he's a fucking idiot, why do people like him play the racism card just to have something to say, i'd take any colour, height, weight or what the fuck if the manager was good enough, i assume so would any fan at any club.

oh and he's a fat fuck.

is that allowed?

The funny thing is he's forgot Chris Hughton.

Around 30% of footballers are black, or mixed race, yet they make up less than 5% of managers. Can't be anything worth talking about their can there?

De Niro, within your lifetime supporting football you'll have known the kind of crap that used to be said about black footballers. That they were lazy, that they didn't play well in the winter (even those who were British), etc.

On the playing side black players have broken through those stereotypes, but it's taking longer to break through on the coaching/management side. If a thoughtful interview from Viv Anderson makes a few people think about the issue then that can't be a bad thing.

Paul Ince did a great job and should surely replace Capello

That would be quite contraversial. Having a gay England manager.

How about an openly Black Gay Manager ?

Who gives a f**k what colour his skin is? It shouldnt even come into the criteria. A manager should be chosen on ability not skin colour.

Spot on, if we want to get rid of racism from the game then positive discrimination has to end as well.
