RE: Black and Ethnic minorities still a minority in English football
WTF.. how stupid is this??!?
This is only soccer (don't know about American football): Professional head coaches are usually 45+ years old and when the share of black players 25 years ago was smaller than today, it makes a lot of sense that the share of black coaches equals the share of black players from back then and not their share of today.
When you look at Dutch football you will see that there are plenty of black (or whatsoever colored) coaches with Kluivert, Seedorf, Gullit, Winter, Roy, Van Gobbel, Reiziger and Rijkaard (did I forget someone?) because the Dutch had plenty of colored players in the 90s.
How can you be sooo f*cking stupid. Seriously, how is this possible?
from era of dutch players you mentioned, there were Ince, Wright, King, Heskey, Dublin, A. Cole, Campbell, Dyer, Jenas, Vassel, L. Ferdinand.. (only in eng nat team)
it is bit stupid, but not THAT stupid lol
Half of the Dutch players are or have been coaching big teams and the English players...
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
There has been a think tank looking into it and the stats speak for themselves. As @interceptor mentioned there were many black English players in the 90s, but many managers aren't 90s footballers.
which think tank? I tend to never trust them because they are politicized too much.
If you read the article its mentioned in there, in fact that is what the article is about: the think tanks findings.
hmm if it's that one this seems to be just another left-progressive brain-dead-child but nothing you can take seriously. Once more, a waste of money and attention.
I don't think so and I would say they are underrepresented at the top coaching levels. I don't personally believe the clubs are being racist, but why aren't there more? Is it their attitude once theyre rich and retired? Who knows...
Maybe because of the insane competition in the PL?
Here are the head coaches of the top 7 PL teams: Morinho, Wenger, Benitez, Klopp, Guardiola, Pochettino, Conte.
Not a single one of them is from Britain. So, why should black English football coaches be more common than their white counterparts?
