A thought but maybe BME are only perceived as quick and strong (physical qualities) to make good players, and therefore not perceived to have mental strengths to be managers, CEOs ???
Sorry for delayed response. Can't view NSC at work
In short, it's not an easy one....
I recall Chris Hughton's comments which someone else posted
I think players get chances from BME backgrounds, but struggle to progress to senior roles in managing or running clubs
To take one analogy, if...
My point is more that black / mixed race people get opps as players but don't seem to get chances in senior roles
It's why the FA is considering the 'Rooney rule' as used in the US
Not players
Definitely Manager level - 6 of 92 pro mangers in England are black. Under represented compared to players
The greatest problem is in the boardrooms...
