FOOTBALL League chairman Greg Clarke launched a withering reposte to black managers’ demand for action on racial equality on Wednesday night.
He declared that the “shrill voices of the vested interests will stop me continuing to campaign for a better lot for our managers” after black managers told him to “consider his position.”
Professional Footballers Association chief executive Gordon Taylor said Clarke had “promised” to bring up the Rooney Rule — which forces clubs to interview at least one black prospective manager when recruiting and has been credited with increasing the number of ethnic minority coaches in American football — at the League AGM but failed to do so.
Clarke claimed that the club director who was going to moot the rule had been relegated.
