Sol Campbell: If i was white, i would have been England captain for 10 years

wow...

If he'd been a pretty, white, highly-marketable brand like Beckham he would have been. Might have a point there.

Yeah, I'm not agreeing with that.....

What an idiot.

So what's that got to do with the topic?

We can hypothesise that if Sol Campbell was actually sacked as captain due to his poor grammar, he may have a legitimate reason for being upset at his demotion.

I moved the grammar related posts into this thread - http://www.goallegacy.net/t30731-question-for-advanced-english-speakers

He wasn't sacked as captain.

A link to a discussion elsewhere was posted because the question had nothing to do with the actual topic, and such unrelated talk seems to cause such derision on this forum.

Good move Dom. On topic, Sol cleatly holds a grudge against the FA and is probably not smart enough to realise that his allegations could get him in serious trouble if found to be baseless because he is making a serious claim about institutionalised racism in the FA administration. Given that the FA has been proactive in addressing the issue of racism in the recent past, I would suggest that Sol is just trying to make a buck off his book.

Nothing as pointless as claims that cannot be proved one way or the other.

slightly off topic, but that picture is disturbing... it's like his face is taken from a 4k resolution photo but the fur on his coat was scribbled in ms paint

Well expect to see a lot of "it has nothing to do with race Judas" signs at WHL today.

He has had a lot of game winning England goals disallowed over the years Racist FA

What a legend

Sadly missed, come back to the club Sol   

remember when he had that shocking game against West ham then went missing for a few days   

Chris Hughton is the only black manager currently with a job in all 4 English football divisions. And he's very close to a sacking.

Would need to get some sort of idea how many unemployed black managers there are in England to get more of an idea of their job prospects

He's close to a sacking because he isn't good enough.

If anything he's lucky he has lasted this long, managers have gone already this season for performing better than Hughton has at Norwich.

They spent 30 million on forwards last summer and if anything they are worse than last year, i like Hughton and i have huge respect for the job he did at Newcastle turning us around.

But him being sacked has F all to do with race.

But it is peculiar, though, that the ratio between white and black managers is so much different than the ratio between white and black players in England.

Well, one would need to know how many white / black players obtain their UEFA Pro license for starters.
