Bully Wee Villa Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 The counter-argument is that we don't know whether they have the acumen of Guardiola as they aren't getting a look in.I don't know if this rule is the answer, though it has been successful in the NFL, but I'm glad the league is recognising that BAME people are underrepresented in coaching, and attempting to address the issue.

Bishop Briggs Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 A couple of transfers today. Georges-Kevin Nkoudou has signed for Burnley on loan from Spurs. Good move for him as he's been stuck on the bench for most of the season. Moritz Bauer, Austrian right-back, has signed for Stoke City from Rubin Kazan. Glen Johnson, out of contract in the summer IIRC, could be punted soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the problem comes from further down the ladder if there aren't. Premiership squads are full of black players and have been for years. No chance are clubs actively discriminating against them and I don't doubt that those candidates would be interviewed were they seen as suitable candidates. Fact is, there aren't many prominent black coaches at the highest level. Look closer at addressing that issue rather than bringing this in. Think a part of the problem could at least partially be perceived discrimination - if your experience of professional football leads you to believe you've no chance of succeeding as a manager (not even necessarily due to not being given job opportunities but as an example I would suspect certain media outlets would be very unforgiving on certain ethnicities of manager and have the knives out, along with certain elements of the fanbase) then why bother going through the effort of getting coaching badges etc.?

gannonball Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 This. I find it totally bizarre tbh but maybe that's because I've never witnessed any form of persecution. I struggle to believe that English clubs, who are all absolutely driven by getting the EPL money, would purposely hire a worse manager purely on the colour of their skin. At the same time you have brittish wannabe EPL managers moaning that we aren't giving home grown managers a chance because they aren't foreign. Both claims are bollocks really. Alot of them are just egotistical footballers who feel starting at the bottom is beneath them. See Ryan Giggs as a recent example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musketeer Gripweed Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Seemingly the whole AGM was a joke. The voodoo story about Lukaku was a belter. This new stadium will never happen in my opinion. Only last week Anderson was moaning about cuts in the city budget around that fire in the car park down at the docks then he approves this. Politics isn't my thing though. At least they have a corner to look back on with pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the obscene money going into the EPL now why should the council be footing the majority of a bill for a established clubs new ground?

Musketeer Gripweed Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 @MattHughesTimesLukaku accepts #everton made him a very good offer to stay, which he rejected because he didn't believe in the project, not because of voodoo. Is consulting lawyers over potential legal action.@MattHughesTimesRomelu Lukaku taking legal advice following Farhad Moshiri's voodoo comments. Belgian striker's representatives say he's "sad and angry" at #Everton owner's claims. Lukaku doesn't believe in voodoo and is a Roman Catholic.

David W Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Quote The Blues benefactor was quizzed by a supporter at the club's General Meeting over why the Scottish journalist was seemingly being used as a mouthpiece for him rather than going through the usual media outlets. Mr Moshiri said: “As it happens, Jim White is a friend of mine.' “Sometimes late at night he calls me, sometimes there's no caller ID and I think it's Bill (Kenwright) “And then if we've had a bad game and I'm upset he gets to me and he gets something out of me. “All the conversations are between two friends, they shouldn't appear on Sky but that's the world we live in.” Quote Steve Walsh, Director of Football: “If you took away all of Romelu Lukaku’s goals last season, we still would have finished seventh. Quote Moshiri: "I think with Tosun as a focal point, Bolasie back, Sigurdsson and Rooney - We have our own Fab 4" Sounds like it was better than any AGM I've ever attended.

Musketeer Gripweed Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Some other quotes from Moshiri Quote "We offered him a better deal than Chelsea and his agent came to Finch Farm to sign the contract," Moshiri told Everton's annual general meeting. "I wasted two summers to keep him. First summer with his agent, him and his family we managed to keep him. Last summer we offered him a better deal than Chelsea - whatever they offered we matched but he just didn't want to stay. "If I tell you what we offered him you wouldn't believe it, but they offered him a better deal." So basically, they offered more, the same and less than Chelsea all at the same time.
