Incidentally - why is this messageboard so white? Not being funny, but... Yeah it is a little too white, (if there's such a thing) but it's not just this message board, it's football fans in general, look at the stands around you nearly everyone is white. Not quite sure why this there are loads of black and other races represented on the pitch but you rarely see them as fans. why does it matter? About the Black manager thing... I personally think it is all a load of rubbish. If they was good enough, then they would get a job. Simple as that. Playing the race card as per usual.

Ince just wants to be fast-tracked into the premiership

Pretty much my thoughts, though I wouldn't have put Ince down as being the type to pull that one I think Ince is a bullshitter and would do whatever. But I still don't like the scepticism... frankly if I was black I'd do the same, people will always pull a fast one to get ahead whatever their reasoning.

Ince just wants to be fast-tracked into the premiership Way to go about it, accusing them all of being racist In my case at least, JH, the annoyance is at the fact that he's actually pulling this. It's not like he stands to gain from it - would you call a prospective employer an arsehole and expect to get the job? - and it's a pathetic tactic to use at the best of times, when it's not a genuine case. It's reaching the point with me where it's like crying wolf - unless I can see the wolf's there, I'm gonna be sceptical. I've heard it too often for no reason.

"Other countries hve moved on" Beg your pardon mate but Italian and Spanish football is WAY more racist than it is over here! AND he mentions somewhere else that his dream is to manage Inter one day!!

Yes I get the feeling it's pretty pathetic too... but I wouldn't start going on about it on the basis that people who have a less pleasant axe to grind will capitalise on it. That said I think anyone who was actively racist on here would get shouted down and/or banned as there aren't many idiots here (as far as I can tell)

Well, the fans are far more racist over there too... both those countries have far more problems with fascist groups / organised parties than we do here, thank god (or whatever you would thank)

I think it's a case of Paul Ince saying 'look at me I'm doing a fantastic job, now I'd like a better one at a bigger club, thanks very much. And if I don't get one it's because I'm black'
He always was a bit of a knob ........... now he's a desperate knob!!

I don't think anyone, myself included, disagreed with the original premise - that Ince is being an idiot and it's not true... ...I guess I just feel a little discomfited by the situation. I agree that football management of all things is no place for "positive discrimination"... but... feh! "I, JH, resolve to no longer care about this topic"

Read what Stevie Gerrard writes about Ince in his book.
A real big time charlie.

If you had read the post I made after that one I clearly stated that it doesn't really matter but it's just puzzeling.

Blacks generally like to complain that everything is racist if they don't get their own way, and Paul Ince is no exception.

In all fairness, most of the black guys I know appreciate that not everything is racist - the only time I've heard any of them use the infamous 'is it coz I is black?' was as a response to some twat calling him a 'coon' (from the other side of the road, you understand ) "Fucking coon! Nigger!" "Yeah, you iz only sayin dat coz I is black" A lot of the higher-profile black people seem to do it though, which doesn't create a good impression of the 'anonymous' guys
