What club in their right mind would appoint a manager that was blatantly wrong for the job? Had no proven track record, no experience at the highest level, no history of winning things? Come on, who would do tha........... Oh. |

'Ricky Hill has lost count of the letters he has sent applying for coaching or managerial positions in England, covering every level from the Ryman Premier to the Premier League, across the past 20 years. The former Luton Town player has no problem, however, remembering the number of replies he has received: one. "Sir Alex Ferguson had the decency to phone me to let me know that he was going in another direction after I applied for the reserve team post at Manchester United in 2003. But I've never had a response from anyone else, even by letter," says Hill, who was a stylish midfielder in the 70s and 80s and became only the fourth black player to represent England. "Richard Scudamore might turn around and say: 'You're not good enough.' But hold on a minute – I've got three coach of the year awards." He nails it here: "I say this – and it might have a racist overtone but I don't mean it like that because I've never had an inferiority complex on race – but chairmen do employ people that come from similar backgrounds to them, that have a similar look and a similar culture, because that's what historically they've always done. And until you find something that will broaden their outlook, we will still continue to have a lack of capable black candidates." http://www.theguardian.com/world/201...ll-coach-black |
