Mame Biram Diouf Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 The Football Association tried to impose an unofficial quota system on the number of black players an England manager should be allowed to use, according to a new book about racism within the sport. Pitch Black, written by Emy Onuora, includes a passage in which one of the sport’s leading anti-racism campaigners claims Graham Taylor admitted to him he had been summoned by two members of the FA’s hierarchy and told “in no uncertain terms” he should not go beyond a certain limit. There is absolutely no suggestion that Taylor, with a long history of working with some of England’s leading black players over the past 30 years, adhered to this policy but the book recounts him saying there were senior figures trying to put pressure on him to keep the team predominantly white.

Vertigo Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Not even a surprise. They used to make it pretty obvious. Probably the same people who don't want to see many black managers in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
