Why don't they really want to be managers?

Because it's a thankless task?

Are you saying they are more sensitive than whites?

Why are there any women managers either, plenty of men managers in the female game after all.... Sexist as well.

TBM There's a thing about black managers again, in the press......now there are none in the top 4 english leagues

At the start of the season there was 4

6 April 2014: Chris Hughton sacked by Norwich after 22 months in charge
11 March 2014: Chris Powell sacked by Charlton after two years and 10 months in charge
21 January 2014: Paul Ince sacked by Blackpool after 11 months in charge
27 October 2013: Chris Kiwomya sacked by Notts County after 10 months in charge

Now correct me if i'm wrong but weren't they all sacked cos they were doing shit, not cos they're black?! :?

Maybe Ince is just a red herring and in fact the issue is that anyone called Chris is going to fail as a manager

Out of interest, how many of us have had a manager who is a person of colour? In what industries, and what level of seniority?

I couldn't say if my manager is coloured, as I don't notice that kind of thing. Couldn't tell you their skin colour any more than you could tell me your manager's eye colour.

You don't really get any blacks in any area of science...... :?

Lots of Asians coming through though, so depends what you mean by 'people of colour'

I suppose you couldn't tell if she was female either?

The pro licence holder numbers seems to be a bit of a red herring as well if you ask me.

Of this list, my gut feel is that there isn't a massive number who have the type of jobs Roberts wants for his 14.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ ... ro_Licence

The lack of minority representation on boards is rubbish as well. If you look in the Premier League at least there are plenty of minorities represented, largely due to the diversity of ownership. Admittedly they're not black though, which is probably more Roberts' concern.
