RE: Black and Ethnic minorities still a minority in English football
Half of the Dutch players are or have been coaching big teams and the English players...
- Ince became a restless manager with 6 teams in 8 years and that kills your career no matter what color your skin has (think of Matthäus)
- Wright became coach and then TV commentator, so he's in a very small privileged group of people now
- King has broken knees and (Wiki) "He continues to represent Tottenham Hotspur on an ambassadorial level." I'd call that part-time management to keep him busy.
- Heskey was playing till 2016, so maybe he's just cooling off right now
- Dublin is now a big time sports commentator, not that bad as 2nd career
- Andy Cole has a broken kidney
- Campbell is now a conservative politician and therefore in a different quota system
- Dyer is coach in Ipswich (soo... check)
- Jenas is 34 and a bit too young to judge his degree of oppression
- never heard about Vassel
- Ferdinant was always a bit of an idiot (Wiki -> "Ferdinand announced his intention to become a professional boxer")
Bottom line: Nope, there is zero evidence that England's black players are discriminated in any visible way in their post-player career. They are doing just fine (except of course for Cole).
it was Les not Rio ^ i forgot about Rio already.. like totally.
Vassel.. Darius.
and im not talking about discrimination, just that there were just enough black players in England A team.
But the claim is that there is discrimination against black people when it comes to coaching jobs and that is completely made-up.
Les Ferdinand is even more of a prove against that claim. He's now "caretaker manager" for QPR...
Overall, I'd say non-white English players are actually quite privileged.
edit
and just fyi Rio Ferdinand...total player
lol^^
lol i couldnt talk about PL, without notcing whole fuckin NBA players/coaches ratio first ^^
poor Rio.. he was just about to shine when Nemanja arrived, and stole his defence... :D
