Deuce Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Of the top 92 clubs in England, only four have black managers. Wow, didn't realize this. Pretty extraordinary considering the number of black players in English football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 It's John Barnes's fault for being so f***ing rubbish at the job. Negative role model. We need more Chris Houghtons.

Do you mean there are less than 3% of the UK Population are black or less than 3% of professional footballers? Even though i don't know a single black person i'd be surprised if there's only 3% of the UK population are black. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 3-4 percent seems reasonable where I am. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the populations of London, Birmingham and Manchester that just seems low. Thought it would be above 10% at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Wiki says it's lower than that. 1% Black Caribbean 0.2% Black "other". In 2001 at least. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_the_United_Kingdom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that wouldn't really matter, should it? Shouldn't the demography of football managers more or less reflect the demographic make-up of the footballing population? Aren't some 30% of footballers in the UK black? Thought I had read that somewhere on the board recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 That is a remarkable low percentage. I don't know what gave me the indication that there were more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 while I fully accept a smaller % are managers than players, I doubt its much of a story when compared to population ratio, and considering the % of Black players when these managers were players- probs a lot less, nearer to the % that are currently managers.

Toondave Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I don't understand how "black british" or "asian british" are options on the census forms, or just any form in general.

ponsaelius Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Must say I've gone through an entire education system and can only remember 1 black kid in that entire span.
