Chris Powell has been sacked by League One club Southend


How long before this is deemed "racist"?

 

[The Lone Sniper]

Racist.

 

[immortal7]

racist bastards

 

[RDFM]

What’s even weirder than people that will blame this on racism is people getting offended and angry about people blaming this on racism before anyone’s even done it.

 

[snoopyboymason]

Usual suspects will blame race

 

[RFC4ME]

What an odd thread.

You know I did wonder why this was deserving of a notification on my phone from the sky sports app. A league 1 team sacking their manager doesn't usually get that sort of attention. Didn't click that it's because the race debate was about to start again re managers. Makes sense now I think about it.

What's even even weirder is you getting angry and offended at people who will blame this on racism before anyone’s even done it.

The media will be straight onto Paul Ince for his input where he will inevitably say it's racist and we don't have enough black managers.

Powell is a legend at Southend. Voted the club's all time cult hero by the support. I'd imagine it's a big story because he's quite high profile.

Currently sitting 20th in the league. No surprise he’s out the door.

Ah that makes sense then. Wasn't aware he played for them as well. Derby was the first club I remember him playing for.

Guess again. The Daily Mail has already got it up and how there are so few BAME managers in England.

 

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

No one:

Craigie: how long before this is deemed racist?

 

[charlie_snowball]

Jessie Pavelka was better anyway.

Did Chris Powell sign Big Rob Kiernan?

Usual suspects will bemoan people who think this is racist before anyone actually says this is racist.

Whenever I see anything on a black manager on here you just now there's a sort of hybrid offended bus steaming in to getting offended at the thought of anyone else potentially being offended.

IT'S PC GONE MAD!

 

[flootbon]

Is that what happened after West Brom sacked Darren Moore ? Was it deemed a racist act ?

 

[Johnny Fontane]

Powell is a decent chap. Was a legend at Charlton and stuck with them when they were in dire straits. Doesn't strike me as the sort who would play the race card and will probably get another job in management.

 

[McQueen]

Is it because i is black?

 

[borderbluenose]

2 points worse off than Stuart McCall probably performance related as McCall got sacked as well

What’s even weirder is..............ah fūck it.

 

[Bluebrox]

Announce Kiernan !!!

 

[Davieblue1977]

Theyve been piss for a while

 

[buc11]

I suspect the patriarchy isn't completely innocent in this either

 

[Blackpool Dave]

Is it because i is black?

Mibbees I mibbes naw

 

[Marstonbear]

Expected, they’re dropping like a stone

 

[Business_Bear]

Has Clarke Carlisle been wheeled out on SSN yet?
