It’s early days no need to panic yet - losing your skipper is always a blow , only when Pym & Stockley join MK will I start to really panic

It follows the implementation by the FA of the 'Rooney Rule' as adopted by the American NFL in 2003.

"I don't believe this is positive discrimination. It's about opening up barriers and allowing everybody the opportunity to pitch for a job. To lead the way and show some leadership we need to move it on. Black and white players are looking to get into the game and are not getting opportunities because the jobs are going to the same faces" Paul Davis - Former Arsenal midfielder

Some history here:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/14856861
“Suitable BAME candidates meeting the job profile & performance criteria will be included in short-listings and interviewed for the vacant position.“
Good thing in my opinion.
Not in mine. Unfortunately 90% of white people aren't in the 'in-club' either. And nowadays this won't improve our chances. And to rub it in if you're white now and didn't go to the right school you have all the others telling you to check your privilege. "Tier 2" White males are right at the back of the queue now and it looks permanent.

Since when has 'going to the right school' had anything to do with getting on in the football world? Can we leave the wider social comment to other forums more suited to that kind of debate please?

Racial equality is a friend of socio-economic equality. Turning a blind eye to ingrained disadvantage on the grounds of race or ethnicity creates the conditions where other forms of inequality perpetuate.

You get it. The same biases exist against women in men's football too – there's absolutely zero reason why more women can't take coaching courses, or be first team physics / scouts etc..

Sounds like he's trying to re-invent the wheel.

I'm here all week etc.
