    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
