OT...The Rooney Rule
Hey guys and gals.
Here in England, due to what some are saying is under-representation of ethnic minorities at management level in soccer, there is talk of us getting a 'Rooney Rule' brought in.
I just have a few questions on how this thing works in reality.
Has it really helped bring black coaches through or was that happening anyway? Are you stuck in a situation where you have to call up a black guy to interview for no reason, even when you know your white guy is getting the job? Are you stuck with some black coaches bleating they never get the job, and that is racism? Do clubs feel the need to employ black coaches to stop that accusation, even when there is a better white guy left on the shelf?
This is a huge debate in England, and these questions are continually getting raised when discussing the issue.
Cheers
