Apparently Pepe Mel could go this weekend. WBA and Fulham are the joke of the season for their manager mismanagement. Both deserve to go down.

Think WBA will survive though, Cardiff, Fulham and Norwich will join Reading next year.

The Charlton hierarchy are racist. Wasn't given a fair crack of the whip.

New Belgian owner comes in, brings in 5 players during January from other clubs he owns around Europe, sacks the English manager when the club go bottom of the Championship due to playing in an FA Cup quarter final, and is going to bring in a Belgian manager, Jose Riga, and Belgian backroom staff.

That's one team I'd like relegated from our division now!

SSN jumping on the 'black' manager thing now. There really is no need for it. Can't they just say 'manager'?

If it was anyone other than Chris Powell, then I'd be with Mr Angry on this one.

However, the bloke is an utter bellend of the highest order (Powell) and I've not liked him since he turned us down in Coppell's early days. See ya!

Times taken until we see Jason Roberts being interviewed regarding Powell and the Racist card?

Which one of the Powell brothers punched Doyle in the face? Was that Darren?

Just searched for D Powell on Wikipedia, amazed he's only 38 (though I guess this is due to me being a HUGE racialist and blending him and Chris Powell into 1 and the same)

He's been trumped by Sol Campbell now after his PR stunt the other week. He's already got a video up on the BBC talking about the lack of black managers and how it's a shame.

What I think is a bigger shame is that there's only 6 English managers (at my last count) in our own top division.

I'm not sure that really makes any difference on his opinion, he wasn't saying he should have a job, although, in this artical he is. I found another from May saying he wanted to start doing his badges that summer (2013).

http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/footbal ... 84229.html

Basically saying that he should've had Neville's job with Hodgson but was snubbed by the FA. Sounds like total bollocks to me and have no idea why he isn't doing the rest of his badges under an English FA banner and not the Welsh, I don't think he's doing anything with the Welsh team so why he thinks he's had to go there I don't know.

Anyone have any ideas what he/The Standard are on about?

No I have no idea.

The main pattern i see is ex-black players saying there need to be more black coaches. But choosing the be activists than actually pursue a career.

Ince is the main exception and it's just a shame for him that his style of management just isn't that effective over the long term. He's one of those impact managers to sort out a dysfunctional dressing room.
