Ferdinand on racism

[Macca]

I agree with him about racism in football kick it out, none of us would like to take some of the flak these players take anyone caught doing it should be banned for life, but I do think it is now beginning, to put the club in the background and not putting what is wrong right with the club, I think we should all be doing our part about getting rid of racism out of football, like if we hear someone at a game report them so that they are evicted from the ground.

What's his opinion on OAP-ism in football? Knowing you are truly past it but still signing on for the last hefty paycheck?

I can honestly say hand on heart that I have not seen a hint of racism at QPR in maybe over 25 years and it pains me to say it but it just seems that Les is jumping on the Sol Campbell bandwagon inventing issues where there are hardly any whatsoever these days at any club and yes I do include Chelsea in that

The reason Ramsey won't get another job won't be because of the colour of his skin!

I agree with that.

Except from John Terry

Let's be honest, CR stood no chance with these players. Before I write him off I'd like to see him build his own team, can't be any worse then what Harry can he?

I have. Experienced it on a few occasions, each time was in the Loft. But that was between about 15 years ago and 10 years ago. Not heard anything specific since then.

Oh yes it can like them or not HR could attract players to join him while we were in the premier league , cant think there's many players prepared to join an unknown in the championship

All the top managers have done there time in some capacity.. This all sounds like top clubs being forced to fast track Black/Asian coaches for big jobs. What a load of Nonsense. If a manager/coach is good enough I'm sure they will get a job no matter what colour or creed.

[Bigdave]

If I was an owner the last thing I would worry about before appointing someone would be the colour of their skin. I just don't see this being as big as people like Les and others say. Surely chairmen want success for their club? Black or white shouldn't be an issue.

As for racism at QPR I have not witnessed it in nigh on 30 years of supporting us. I'm not saying it don't happen i just haven't seen or heard any.

Exactly. Meritocracy in tandem with fully equal opportunities has to be the way forward in the 21st century. Tokenism and positive discrimination IMO is now an outdated product of over-wooly liberal thinking. It's misguided, never the answer, and only serves to patronise and denigrate those specific ethnic groups.
