You racist idiot.

Oh my word there really are some deep seated racist on here shame on you, you are a blight to our great club.

So by your reckoning it's perfectly acceptable for old people to call people coons, wogs,,black people, spastics, pak_is, bum boys etcetc coz that's the words they used 50 years ago?

I am very supportive of older people who for a variety of reasons cannot or will not conform to new societal niceties which for one reason or another passed them by.

Lots and lots of things are generational, including language and the witch hunt against anybody who does not get on board will never curry favour with me.

Starting to wonder who the minority are in this country nowadays, just watch tv adverts and, it seems every advert now has a larger proportion of bames then the actual population. Study’s are starting to come out where white working class children are now the disadvantaged, in 50 years time it will be “ white lives matter” that will be all over. Basically what I’m trying to say and would assume quite a few on here would agree with is that for being born white we are all racist and must feel guilty of what previous generations have done.

Well, that’s that. Anything else you can’t google?

Never ceases to amaze me the number of people who jump on threads like these. Anyone could do a quick bit of research and find out why his comments he made were unacceptable but too many here would rather bask in their ignorance and pretend to be the real victims. Bizarre

Yeah but what about all the imaginary pensioners being chastised because they've raised money for BAME groups but innocently used the wrong terminology? People like Lew Chaterley's Lover just want to defend these made up people from his made up accusations.

Let’s face it, aside from his comments about BAME, his homophobic and sexist comments weren’t exactly positive either.

This is just another blunder by the people who officially run the game in this country.

As has been said countless times, his comments are indefensible, try as you might and whatever flimsy excuse or justification you want to use, they’re comments that have rightly cost him his job. Justifying it because he’s some old illegitimate (this is partly the issue with the FA in the first place) and he comes from a different time isn’t even worth presenting to anyone. He’s the top man within an organisation that is known around the world.

There will have been countless hours of diversity training, media training and the likes and all of it ignored, publicly. In that case he has to go. It happens in any job, he has brought the FA in to disrepute and ignored policy and procedure. Even if he wasn’t in the public eye he’d have, or should have been removed...

The sound of a white person reacting to change that they don't like.....
