Bluedell 5,382 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Nah, he'll wait at least 6 months, so it becomes more difficult to deny allegations. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Cole 0 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 If you believed Barnes, the fact he took so long to get a job in British football had nothing to do with his disaster at Celtic. Oh no, it was racism in football. Paul Ince is the same, hides the fact he can't cut it as a manager by saying the "Premier League isn't ready for a black manager." Of course Blackburn sitting proudly in 20th had nothing to do with it you understand... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Blackburn sitting proudly in 20th had nothing to do with it you understand... Yip, you were right Norris. 'Clubs still think black managers lack intelligence,' says Barnes John Barnes, the footballer who braved the torrent of abuse which epitomised Britain's racial intolerance of black players in the 1980s, has declared that a generation of black managers is being lost to the sport because of a belief that they lack the intellectual ability of their white counterparts. Barnes, who comes face to face with one of only two other black managers, Paul Ince, when his Tranmere Rovers side face Ince's MK Dons tonight, has struggled for nine years to regain a position in British management after his brief and ultimately unsuccessful spell at Celtic ended in 2000. He has put that struggle down to the sport's failure to give a black manager the same second chance as a white one. Though Ince found work again, seven months after his brief Blackburn tenure ended, he has reverted to the League One side which he left for the top flight. "Until we are considered to be intellectually equal, we will never be equal," Barnes said. "In the 1970s you didn't have black goalkeepers or centre-halves ââ?¬â?? or not many. If you were a black player you had to play on the wing where you're fast and didn't have to think too much. These are all the misconceptions people had. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Cole 0 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 "Until we are considered to be intellectually equal, we will never be equal," Barnes said. Aye very good John. Sounds like you'd make a better Guardian-reading sociology lecturer, because you're sure as hell a crap football manager. This tosser should be directly challenged on irresponsible statements like this. Unfortunately being the PC backwater we now are, nobody will and morons like Barnes will continue to have free reign to perpetuate blatant mistruths. Oh and by the way, it's a fact that black people are faster than white people - why not put them on the wing? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is somewhat ironic that he would say that..... because he actually wasnt very fast at all himself. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
