    Maybe SISU could buy the Coundon Rd ground - assuming it is still there?

    From a usually reliable source

    I see no reason why Wasps wouldn't agree to let the Ricoh to CCFC and ground share.

    Paul Ince is he deluded or does he have a point?

    I think that we are very close to agreeing with each other. I accept some of your points, especially the one about black people perceiving racism and not trying as hard as a result (not individuals - as a whole, statistically). This is precisely why I call it implicit racism not explicit...

    Paul Ince is he deluded or does he have a point?

    OK, I'll take you at your word and assume that you are intelligent. Although I dispute the assumption that an Economist by definition understands statistics. Here's the argument, would be happy to hear where you think it is flawed. 1. Hypothesis is that black people are not misrepresented in...

    Paul Ince is he deluded or does he have a point?

    We are not going to agree whilst you have such a poor understanding of statistics. Start with this: http://www.ehow.com/how_5570895_understand-hypothesis-testing.html. Now consider that the sample size we have here is very big.

    Paul Ince is he deluded or does he have a point?

    Because they are never given a chance to prove they are any good?

    Paul Ince is he deluded or does he have a point?

    Nobody is suggesting that black managers should be given roles they are not qualified for or that they should be appointed when a white manager more suitable for the position is available. Ince isn't suggesting that. The Rooney Rule doesn't suggest that. The only people suggesting that are...

    which city manager did the worst job with the best squad?

    You will never forgive him? Really? It's not like he did it on purpose: he's a passionate man - everyone can see that. I'm sure he tried his damnedest. What if he pleaded with you for forgiveness on his knees, would you spurn him still? Walking off to the sound of him weeping 'I'm so...

    Paul Ince is he deluded or does he have a point?

    He is saying that there is an implicit racism throughout the entire football league. That means that it isn't explicit: he's not accusing any one person or club of deliberately excluding non-whites. It could even be that black players are discouraged from applying because they perceive they...

    Paul Ince is he deluded or does he have a point?

    No he isn't. Try this one: All cats are animals. Some animals are grey. Does that imply that all cats are grey?

    Paul Ince is he deluded or does he have a point?

    I'm sorry, but your liberal incorrect use of the apostrophe automatically makes me discount your opinion as not thought through. Do you think that it is fair of me?

    Paul Ince is he deluded or does he have a point?

    I had to google the Rooney rule - I imagined it was something to do with petulance or sleeping with aged prostitutes. He certainly has a point, the statistics don't lie: the proportion of non-WASP players is far greater than the number of managers. So even if there is not explicit racism it is...

    What evidence to you have to suggest that Waggot is a liar? Which book do you imagine is going to be written?

    Steven pressley

    I am neutral - I don't have enough information to make a decision. However two points from this: - What makes you think that he shouts at players to get a reaction? Shouting from the touch line doesn't count right? That's the only way to be heard. What makes you think this, and given that...

    I'm told there was an attempt yesterday to install a foreigner as our manager. Fortunately it was thwarted.
