Ally Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Can't fucking stand Sol Campbell. How many times does he cry the race card? He wasn't England captain, nor is he a manager because he's an absolute twat. Not because he's black. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Rio Ferdinand was very briefly England captain under Capello before getting injured wasn't he? Could be wrong but I think he's at least half black. What an idiot Campbell is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, former black players seemingly being denied the opportunity to manage/coach is a bit of a thing in just about every sport save the NBA. How many black managers are there in the Football League? Hughton and Chris Powell? Is Terry Connor still managing somewhere? There aren't many but I'd be stunned if that was because they'd been discriminated against. It just so happens that a lot of the black managers have been hopeless or the ex-players a bit, erm, strange. Thinking back to old England teams - Ince (shite), Campbell (one crayon short of a full box), Davjd James (on tv), Heskey (no comment), Sinclair, Ian Wright, Darius Vassell,Carlton Palmer Sol Campbell can't be telling me that is a list of high calibre potential managers just not getting the chance.

Cort Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 "Michael Owen was made a captain ahead of me. I thought: 'What is going on here?' It was embarrassing" - Sol Campbell He's got a point there. However, I find it hard to have sympathy with the rest of his argument. Rio would have been captain in South Africa had it not been for his injury.

mickthemagpie Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I'd have a black manager at Newcastle in an instant as long as he was better than Pardew. The key point here, however is, "better than Pardew" rather than "black". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume anyone can take these exams etc.. and if there was any dissuasion it would be a massive story already as someone would have spoken out by now. Also think if it was a case of racist old football club owners there would be a bit of xenophobia chucked in yet the Premier League is made up of - 2 Scottish 1 Northern Irish 1 Welsh 1 German 2 Spanish 1 Argentine 1 Chilean 7 English (actually more than I expected). 1 Norwegian 1 Portuguese 1 Uruguayan 1 French Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
