Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Wait WHAT?! 'Rooney Rule' in British soccer? Is that the one that says a fat, most overrated player of his generation bitter 'once a blue always a Manc' hardly ever shows up in big games ugly balding **** shall be exempt from media criticism and guaranteed to start and captain his club and Country no matter what? Because there sure as heck isn't ANYTHING in place to protect minority's . Hail. Edited October 9, 2014 by Gibbs Hog Heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Im just waiting for Kos to rupture his Achilles. That will be fitting. Â yeah, you may soon be right. Â He was just sent home from the French team Well, I can't even count on one finger the amount of minority managers there are in the PL. Â The only black manager was Ruud with Chelsea right?

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 ..... The only black manager was Ruud with Chelsea right? Chris Houghton last year with Norwich. And previously 'Spurs and Newcastle; Jean Tigana at Fulham and Terry Connor for half a season at Wolves are all I can think of. The Premier League has been running since 1992 and by my recollection there's been FOUR black managers to the complete and utter disgrace of everyone involved. Mourinho and his peers can say what ever B/S they like but that brings home yet again the rife, institutionalised racism that continues to prevail in English football. But it's the worst kind of racism as its hidden and everyone pretends it doesn't still go on. Hail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) There's been WAY more foreign managers in the BPL than coloured .....but yeah Jose, that's because they've all been better coaches. English football stinks from top to bottom. Paul Ince for Blackburn in '08 for about 6 months. My bad. Five. There you go, English equality in action. That said, the Rooney Rule in the NFL is a complete and utter joke so it's widespread. Hail. Edited October 9, 2014 by Gibbs Hog Heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeWolf990 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Houghton never managed Spurs, but yeah that is it for the Premiership. Mourinho is right about Chelsea being inclusive tho, but it was stupid for him to project on the rest of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Didn't Hughton have a short caretaker spell at 'Spurs when he was a coach there? Maybe between say Gross and Santini? Something like that? Meh, I might be grasping. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) How many times can the likes of Tony Pulis and Sam Allerdyce and Redknapp be recycled through the PL before other candidates (of any color) get a chance. Always been the same. Doubtless always will be. Once you're on that gravy train, you don't tend to get off until you chose. No matter how bad/ mediocre you are at your job. Football tend to look after its own and its a tough World to break into. Instances like Rodgers getting a shot at a major club are few and far between a you know an it sucks. I was thinking earlier it's no wonder many coloured players just walk away from the game when their playing says are over. Many have suffered dogs abuse and scandalous knickbacks right through their careers. So to go through it all again as a coach, made even worse by the all but non-existent black coaches in the game at the pro level, would ale one Hell of a strong willed character. But hey, the FA and the likes of Mourinho already on that gravy train will tell you there's no problem in England so what do we know? Not sure... watching England. Hodgson knows I'm watching cause he just subbed out Sterling and Hendo after HT up 2-0. Now 3-0 from Welbeck... that makes it a National Holiday in parts of this thread. LMAO @ that last line. He's actually taken off our lads? Did BR have a quiet word and threaten to send the Kirkby lads round to pay Hodgson a visit if he didn't comply? Hail.

Elessar78 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Looking at their call ups, I see no reason why England can't be a presence in the next decade in world football. They need to get a manager with a clue first. Maybe a black guy .  Welbz, Sturridge, Rooney Ox, Theo, Sterling Wilsh, Hendo, Milner Gibbs, Baines, Chambers, Cahill, Nat Cline  There are even a couple not called up today like Luke Shaw and Jay Rodriguez that seem promising.  I'm not convinced that it's a lack of talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
