Sacked Because They Are Black?

[joeluke]

Yet another example of someone citing racism where it so obviously isn't present.

These managers were sacked because of poor results. Nothing more, nothing less

Brighton and Burton Albion are riding high in their leagues so maybe Mr Townsend needs to warn their managers that their time could also soon be up?

You've got to admit, most of the black managers in football, none have been successful. I remember John Barnes going to Jamaica to manage the Reggae Boys. He did not last long either.

Football managers get sacked for poor results all the time, nothing to do with skin colour.

[Gromit]

Nowt to do with skin colour. Managers are judged on their results, and their results were not good enough.
When there are few black managers then to lose two on the same day is unfortunate. But it is not a conspiracy.
The top managerial jobs in English football all go to foreigners. Again no conspiracy, just English managers are not good enough.

I've missed you joeluke.

It's good to have you back.

Where the hell have you been?

More posts like this sir.

I hear Lenny Henry got an award for being black earlier today...go for it!

Any view on the sackings, sp?



'Powell becomes the 16th manager across the top four divisions to leave a club this season and the fifth in the Championship'

Says it all really.

when youve got a massive chip on your shoulder playing the race card is worth a try...so it seems...

[naomi24]

Playing the race card doesn't engender respect and people who do it have no self respect. I think society in general now sees through it and is sick of it, and therefore it exacerbates racism.

And according to one manager one too many female team doctors it would seem.
