Sounds good,
but in reality it wont change much,
in essence all its saying is that clubs will have to Interview Black managers, the same managers will end up getting the jobs, as Football is not a job where your interview technique and spiel will win you the job,
imo

The PFA are investigating forcing clubs to put black candidates on shortlists for managerial vacancies.
Since Paul Ince left Notts County in April, only two of the 92 English league teams have black managers, Chris Powell at Charlton and Birmingham's Chris Hughton.
Discussions with the men who brought about the implementation of the 'Rooney Rule' in the United States, credited with getting the NFL to a position where two black coaches faced each other in last season's Super Bowl, are at an early stage, with further talks are planned.
PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor feels it is an avenue that has to be explored.
'In football terms, we are the most cosmopolitan country in the world,' observed Taylor. 'There is no distinction between colour, creed, nationality or background.
'However, the PFA spends a lot of money training players for the future and understandably, one of the most obvious areas of interest is coaching and management. For some reason the number of black people who actually get a chance in this area is very small.'
Twenty years ago, Cyrille Regis and Luther Blissett did not try to carve out a career in management because they did not feel they would get a proper chance.
'In 2011, it is in no-one's interests for potential managers to be put off for similar reasons. We will not be taking this off our agenda.'
