Ethnic coaching issue
Discussion
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30049688
Does anyone else think this is a bag of self-flagellating nonsense? Why is the BBC and other media insistent on making out that English football is governed by some sort of archaic Apartheid system?
We have the most diverse football league in the world, with more foreign coaches and players than you can shake a stick at, and yet they still feel the need to bang on about a lack of ethnicity. Take a look at the other European leagues: they're certainly no more ethnic than ours. Football fans just want the best person for the job: they're really not bothered about their creed, colour or religion.
It boils my pi$$.

I see this is doing the rounds again 7 months later.

By the way, this has cropped up during a week when 3 League clubs have just (re-)hired foreign coaches/managers.
Brentford: Marinus Dijkhuizen (Netherlands)
Sunderland: Dick Advocaat (Netherlands)
Watford: Quique Sanchez Flores (Spain)
Perhaps we should be more concerned about the lack of opportunities for any English coach/manager, rather than worrying about the colour of the candidate's skin?
At least Derby have brought back Paul Clement from Europe. There really can't be many (any?) English Managers working at top Continental clubs nowadays.
Poor old Roy Hodgson can't go on forever.
