Used to think he was alright until he started gobbing off about how football is prejudiced against him because he's black.

 

This is a bloke who kept getting jobs and being shit at them.

Probably because he was black aswell,

yet you look at teams from Africa,and they have white coaches from Norway,Sweden etc 

yet moan there's not enough black coaches,

chris Powell probably being part of the reason why?

No problems with Someone like Powell "gobbing off" as Kitch put it. Mainly because he's actually started and tried lower down the ladder. The people I take exception to are people like Sol Campbell who whines about not getting offered top jobs without putting in the leg work in lower leagues.

My point though is that even when Powell sez there's not enough black coaches,it's because the ones that get a go have failed,

and that the black African teams then appoint a white manager themselves,

contradicting everything they say,

i Carnt honestly think of the last good black manager/coach???

prabably that French/psg manager in the 90's who also managed Fulham but that's it?

I would prefer Lord Baden Powell.  He will bring a lot of scouts with him and we do need to replace Walshie.

[foxes21]

[foxinsocks]

Glad it isn't just me.  I have a horrible feeling we might be verging on "there is a reason why there aren't many Black coaches & managers, you know what I mean?" land.

I think we are probably well over that line - I just wanted to see how far out of the closet he'd come this time

There are quite a few black coaches in American football, but not enough as head coaches. Many are coordinators or coach the offense or defense. 

Obama is out of office because he served 2 terms, the maximum allowable. He left office with a higher approval rate than any president since Reagan.

It was definitely a meme of Obama looking puzzled.

I wasn't questioning obamas reign as president or why he's not in power now,

just didn't get why a fellow poster put a picture of Obama up when it had no relavence to the discussion 

 

edit-I've seem your reply to Obama looking puzzled,what it is the poster is puzzled about has puzzled me,maybe he can elaborate
