I'm not tying to be provocative Eamon but I'm not sure I understand why black players would respond better to a black manager.
Probably would be easier not to reply to this to avoid provocation but here goes. (Neither of the precious post are being provoking argument, and hopefully you'll see mine the same) I respect your comment regarding not being proactive as you are clearly looking for an answer rather than a rea tion. I do see where Eamon is coming from. I'm happy go luck and really don't care who's what race or religion, but imo i would be nieve to think that a certain bond may not be more likely between people with a religious or cultural background, especially if it is deemed as a minority background or culture. JET said it him self in his QPR welcoming video, he felt a special bond with Les due to the St Lucia background (I know this is not the same as black or white but the similarities are there. Nothing wrong with it, glad it might help him settle in - or not? Depends on the individeal. I'm happy with the signing and can't wait to see him on the pitch. Hope CR shows what he can do with individuals as well as the team
