Tiresome and actually insulting to insinuate that CH's sacking was anything whatsoever to do with race. Some people REALLY can't see beyond the colour of someone's skin can they. It wouldn't even occur to any right-minded person that this was a "racially motivated" move by Bloom.
He should consider getting the lawyers out.

Brighton have had BAME managers for both the mens and womens team until today. It also has a high number of LGBT residents, a Green MP and is quite possible the least likely place in the world to find a racist chairman.
West Brom were the first club to have 3 black players and have had players of ethnic origin ever since.
Accusing either one of those clubs of racism is borderline scandalous in my view. There are other clubs where race has been an issue (Everton for example had white only players until 1994) but to bark up these 2 trees is lazy and irresponsible.

So black managers are unsackable? What a load of bollocks.

I have a dream that football managers will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by their results on the pitch.

Hope Powell, our ladies manager is black. George Parris, Technical Director of our girls academy, is black. Liam Rosenior, assistant coach of U23's, is black. And until yesterday, so was our first team manager, for four and a half years.
All were appointed by Bloom. If he was racist its unlikely he'd have appointed any of them in the first place.
But I see their disappointment. He was a trailblazer, he was proving that black people can manage in the premier league. And now he's been sacked and the implication is that he failed, he can no longer be pointed to as an example of what black people can do. I understand their pain, but lashing out like this doesn't do them any favours. Being sacked is part of the territory of being a football manager.

If they were they would never be employed in the first place, petty journalism but in this day and age inevitable

Let them think what they like, it's pathetic and a waste of energy. Chris was just Chris, a decent man, excellent footballer and manager, who unfortunately had a bad set of results and doesn't fit with our plans going forward, it's as simple as that.

Innit?
If there's an issue here blame the OTHER chairman for not hiring the managers in the first place!!

strong and stable with me, or...
What it highlights is there literally is no longer any long term loyalty in football whatsoever, even if it was a stretch to suggest there still was.
I kind of saw Hughton as a beacon of some forgotten, perhaps rose tinted verson of football where longevity meant loyalty, stability and acceptance of a ride along the way. That a half season blip didn't inevitably mean a sacking, even when relegation is avoided, I feel we are just another football club like any other. I thought we were a bit different, that the football isn't actually the be all and end all of a football club, that managers, players and staff that get the club are more important than simply getting the club to a different place.
I don't know, I feel like the rest of the footballing world is looking in, and we're just another Premier League team with entitled fans and impatient owner with unreasonable expectations on what constitutes enough failure to warrant a sacking.
I suppose this is it though. The journey. From Hereford to here. We're where we battled to be, I guess.

There is no room for rose-tinted viewing in the Premier League it is ruthless and all about results which were poor in 2019 so far

So if West Brom hire Hughton are the 'Race Lobby' going to praise the same club they lambasted for sacking Moore?
Honestly these people undo all the great work done by coming out with this shit.
At times Brighton played the worst football in the league
In a death spiral and stayed up by 2 points
Wasted a lot of money - not all on CH
What has that got to do with race?
Part of the problem with racism in football is down to these jokers.

Get the lawyers in. Kick it Out should be looking a bit closer to home it would seem.
Adrian Durham had a massive rant about how they sacked Moore because they couldn’t see a black manager holding up a trophy.

I haven't got a problem with journalists/pundits/ex-players/administrators fighting for BAME managers getting as fair chance - but this is just totally the wrong target. What about for the last four and a half years when Brighton were one of the only clubs to have one, has that been forgotten in a few hours? It's like in a moment of anger over Hughton's sacking (the real reasons for which they are ignorant of) they have turned their agenda-driven guns on the club.
It isn't Brighton's fault that there are so few other BAME managers and head coaches around. And any suggestion that Bloom is a racist, I would suggest, might well be met with legal action.
