English FA to adopt the "Rooney Rule"

[dead_soft]

In my book you are more likely to get a job where you actually played for that team, it could be that there aren't many aspiring black managers that want to do the job or be an assistant/other role for a lower league club they have played for. Chris Hughton is a wonderful example of how to build a coaching career. Would he get the top job at a top 6 club? Possibly not, but can't see any white english men getting it either.

How many premier league managers currently manage a team they played for?

How many managers make their way up the league?

Do you actually think black managers are refusing to manage at lower levels any more regularly than white managers?

And as has been mentioned before, when there is only one ‘role model’ it suggests there might be an issue.

Under duress?

What duress?

The English FA is practically Teflon

Why though? They should only be a candidate if their deemed good enough to potentially do the job. The colour of your skin has nothing to do with your ability to do a job, it's pc bull...
Black managers that I can think of off the top of my head:
John Barnes = disaster
Chris Powell = limited success
Paul ince = poor record
Chris hughton = doing pretty well

Of the four only one has had any kind of success.

Let's imagine the scenario. A manager applys for the everton job after Sam leaves, his Only experience is 3 successive relegations, no cup success, and a history of conceding loads of goals and hardly scoring.
Would you want him as manager? Would it change your mind if he was black?
NO hence its crap

Thats a better ratio than our white managers tbf
