I see Paul Ince has left Notts County (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/12951734.stm)
After the feature on Radio 5 during the week (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/9441854.stm) regarding black managers we now only have one in the football league (Chris Powell at Charlton who, incidentally, has overseen a really poor period of form recently).
Anyone have any thoughts/ideas about this? The BBC article mentions the Rooney Rule adopted in the States where they have to interview minority candidates. Shouldn't it boil down to the best person (male/female - white/black) getting the job? I find it hard to believe that there isn't a single other black manager better than the 90 or so white managers floating about..
I must say I expect this thread to be a little quiet.. we'll see.
On a side note, I don't think too many people will lose much sleep if Notts County slip into League 2 considering their shenanigans last season. This has nothing to do with the fact that I'm a Forest fan. Honest :)
