Harry Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 18 minutes ago, Mr Popodopolous said: A bit of this has happened over a decade ago. Seem to recall Blackburn faced some flak for sacking Ince in December 2008. He wasn't however sacked due to being BAME. He was sacked because Blackburn were after a promising start, in freefall results wise!! Wider issue though, I wonder. Fair to say that Lampard and Gerrard had a much more cushy starting point than say Campbell. It's a hard one. Appointment should be on merit however. So should assessment of time in a job. Might I suggest Lampard and Gerrard were afforded those opportunities because they had strong personalities with leadership traits and huge connections / influence in the game. Campbell was never seen in such a light as a player - was always the quiet, unassuming type, so perhaps this is a slight on his personality rather than his colour. I don’t really know how Campbell has been received in his management roles to date? Certainly in the media I’ve seen of him, he doesn’t come across as a ‘face of the club’ in PR terms. Has he shown the leadership necessary to suggest he’d be considered for other roles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Probably the wrong thread to resurrect but I just wanted to flag that racism in football is being chatted about on Talksport now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
