David1867 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Just a thought, should we be looking to lead the way with equality in football? We we have never had a first team coach or manager from the BAME or LGBT community now is the time to change this. Below are 3 BAME to throw into the mix. Sol Campbell, a risk but has played at the highest level and wants to manage. Hope Powell, international experience, currently in charge at Brighton women's so will have tapped into Chris Hutons knowledge. Kiatisuk Senamuang, record goal scorer for Thailand so obviously a legend in his own country plus has decent managerial experience in his own right. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll entertain you I don't know why but I couldn't give a fornicate if the next manager is black, white, pink yellow, bird or bloke or stands on the touchline in a tu tu as long as they get the job done and get us promoted. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 If there are the best candidate for the job then of course. But appointing someone because they are black, gay, transgender might attract more lentil eating lefties through the turnstiles buts its a no from me.

Big Ron's Sovereign Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Any point? We have a Thai owner (that has pumped in millions) and a Portuguese manager that some folk just can't take to and never have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 People shouldn't be employed or not employed on whether they're black, white, gay, straight, male, female, english or foreign etc It should always be down to whether or not they're the best person for the job Any other thinking is wrong Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Positive Discrimination" is still discrimination in my book. Someone should be getting a job because they are the best candidate, not because they happen to be of a certain ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torres Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) I would be fuming if we appointed a woman and so would 99.9% of wednesday fans. If no one else wants to be honest then fair enough. Although . . .she might be able to knit us up a kit pretty sharpish. so i'm all for it!! (JOKE!!)

Blue and white Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Some say our next manager has no gender and is built from the image of the lord. All I know is he is called Gary Megson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know your reasons for not wanting a women so I won't dive in and criticise. How would you judge a women to be the best person for the job? They may be superb at managing women players but I don't believe male footballers are "equal opportunity employees". I really don't believe most male players are ready to be managed by a women. This is wrong but I fear it is the current situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
