sheffield_dave Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 "The report stated how, in his defence, Yems "categorically denied that he was in any way racist" and that he "might be viewed as an 'old school' football manager who might be 'robust and industrial' in his use of language" This is the crux of it. He thinks being an "old school" or "straight talker" buys him a free pass, and there will be enough people that agree with him for it to perpetuate the problem. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep the sort that talk about free speech, wokeness and cancel culture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 More detail on what he said in the link below. Absolute disgrace of a decision from the FA. Hopefully he’ll never get a job in football again https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12789094/fa-concludes-john-yems-is-not-a-conscious-racist-despite-outlining-a-string-of-offensive-racial-remarks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalmJimmers Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I think it means he shouts racist stuff in his sleep or summat. Honestly, the FA FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mildatheart67 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 The FA disagree with the independent report,they just put a statement out. He also called done black players " zulu warriors" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DobbinTheDonkey Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 So FF was cleared in court but the FA deemed him guilty. Probably something to do with those South Americans are known for using racist language. What the FA have done is create get out clause for people in future.

I also think how lucky this guy was, to not have his head punched in by the players he’s made those comments too. Incredible restraint. Commendable you could say.

latemodelchild Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 That's a shocking statement and decision from the fa. Misplaced jocularity? The guys a flat out racist and he should never be anywhere near a football pitch ever again. As someone said above, I'm amazed he didn't get smacked. He was in a position of power though, a player smacks a coach and he's out, probably with a reputation that prevents him going to other clubs. How the fa have come to this decision really worries me tbh. Who the hell is on the panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-owls Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 The FA didn’t make the decision, it was decided by an independent panel which consisted of a lawyer who was appointed to the bar in 1968, Tony Agana and Wolves’ club secretary. Yems has been on talksport this morning along with a guy from (I believe) Kick it Out who rightly said that in this day and age we are all one slip of the tongue away from saying something that could destroy their career, but if we accept and understand an error we can redeemable. Yems obviously ignored warnings and totally crossed the line to which he hasn’t offered an apology. He grew up in another era, but that’s no excuse. My old man is five years old than him and has managed people Black people, people from India, Poland and various other places around the world. Not once would he let someone’s colour or creed influence the way in which company decisions were made. Id fully expect the FA to push back against the independent review.

sMacLean Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Means he is just as likely to jump in and defend someone from it as dish it out or be best pals with them. He doesn't have a deep seated dislike of any group but will use the first thing to hand (usually nationality or skin colour) to lazily form banter.
