don't care. wish people would stop banging on about it. most english football fans wouldn't care if their manager was green with yellow polka-dots as long as he got the job done :sorted:

maybe they could take their lead off the music industry? at the end of the season, have an awards ceremony for everyone, and then one just for the "Managers of Black Origin" :idea:

I think some football fans do care what colour their manager is.

However, it's a tiny, tiny, tiny minority and thats possibly the reason that attempts by the media to hype up the Ince appointment as "groundbreaking" have fallen on bored ears.

Tigana was there 5 years before Ince :sorted:

Exactly. I was bored of the story when I thought he was the first one, thinking 'so what?!' when they kept mentioning it on the news on the radio, then at the end of one report the jouno said "Of course Ince is the first black British manager, Tigana and Ruud Hullit (sp?) have managed in the Premiership before" 'So it's even more of a non-story?!' I shouted to no-one, alone in the car. :confused:

The media raise it constantly when it doesn't need to be. Ince is made to comment on it when he doesn't really want to.

The longer we hear the media banging on about 'first black this' and 'last black that' the longer it will be an issue.

The fact is that Ince being there is unremarkable given the route his playing career took and his personality and he won't be the last ex-Ferguson charge that becomes a top level coach.

true indeed. Phil Neville will be a top manager, i predict :eek:

If Barnes coaches like he talks rubbish on TV then no wonder nobody will employ him...
 

Black Managers

Does it really mater what race they are? As long as they get the job done Im sure the fans will love them, I have a bad feeling about Ince about Blackburn for some reason, what about Leroy where is he now? lol

Why compare Ince with Leroy? Unless it does matter to you what colour they are?
 

Black Managers

If they can do the job, then fine, if they can't then thats the end of it.

Piara Power? was spouting off on the radio the other night and he was talking complete b***ocks and encouraging positive descrimination.

Perhaps they believe that because they are black, they have a devine right to coach at top level. Ince has 'served an apprentiship', working hard in the lower leagues and it has paid off. I realy hope he succeeds, which should encourage othere to follow in his footsteps.

It is an even sadder indictment of ourbeautiful game, that none of the top 4 managers are English and our national side is coached by an Italian.

the reason theres not many black coaches is they obviously dont want to do it, just look around the leagues...

I agree with Jim Bee, i think its terrible the way they keep asking him about it. I wish he would nut the next one who mentions it. Paul Ince is a good English born coach who looks like he may make a top manager and thats all there is to it. Stupid reporter mings.

I actually wanted Leroy to do well and felt gutted at the sight of a good man who looked completely broken whereas although I wanted Butcher to do well I hated the twaat at the end of his bit. Is that a bit racist?

Probably because Butcher blamed everyone but himself.

I wonder what the Association of White English Managers make of it:fishing:

Paul Ince managed to perform the great escape with Macclesfield coming in at a time when they were 7 points adrift.
He then took MK Dons up at his first attempt, something Martin Allen couldn't manage with two perfectly good teams in the Dons and Brentford.
He has a 50% win average.

John Barnes did a brief failed stint as head coach for Celtic 8 years ago and also a moody bit of rapping with New Order. Plus he likes Lucozade.

Which would you employ if you had the choice? :shrug:

Also: "I've applied for numerous jobs and sometimes I haven't even had the courtesy of a reply to my application letter. Perhaps I could understand it if I was applying for jobs at the top level but these were clubs in League One."
Cock! Clearly doesn't understand that he may have to start lower down like Paul Ince did with his first full time effort at Macclesfield, Martin Allen's first full timer at Barnet, Alex Ferguson at East Stirlingshire. You don't just waltz into a managerial job in the top three English divisions because you played a decent bit of football 15 years ago and can dance a bit.

And no matter what the colour, anyone with the middle names 'Emerson Carlyle' is ok by me :sorted:

But he's played in Scotland and lived there and is now the assistant manager at Hearts and the Scotland national team, that was my point.

:imwith: :eek:

I read articles by Collymore and Leroy in a national paper the other day about how they never got a fair chance of management etc. implying it was because of their colour!!!!

Leroy, who won promotion with Torquay, said he didn't bother applying for jobs anymore. Tragic.

Storm in a 'black tea' cup

Colly is an amusing and bright man, but has enough 'issues' to never be considered as a League manager.

Leroy was a lovely bloke, but a bit too 'laid back' to inspire anyone.
And a sh*t manager.

Didn't Chris Kamara say he was sacked from Bradford because he was black.
Took them up as well :rolleyes: Suppose the big wage at Sky has eased the pain.

maybe not many black ex players or people want to become managers
