  • The idea that Ron is racist is nuts. If he was he would not have picked any black players - Regis, Remi Moses etc...

  • just remember that white native working class people didnt ever want Mass Immigration. We all tjhink behind closed door that our towns and cities have been ruined by Mass Immigration. WE didnt ever want it...........still dont

  • This is a man who gave a break to Cyril Regis, one of the finest Black British footballers of all time.

    Big Ron a racist, no way.

  • WHO CARES

  • A red nose with a comb over is so last year! You were caught out! Squirming like the worm he is!

  • so what, if he was black people wouldnt take him seriously and consider him 'a character' loadsa famous black people in television and music were racist, rappers... comedians.. and no one cares, but he can't be...

  • What really makes a racist?  I think there is a marked difference between someone who makes an off-the-cuff remark (albeit a very bad one) and someone who genuinely dislikes people of other races and discriminates against them in other, more subtle ways? I genuinely believe that Ron Atkinson falls into the first category and although his comments were well out of order, I genuinely don't think that he hates people of other races.

  • (shaking my head lol) Ron just still doesn't get it does he! If he called Desaily a nigger then what the fuck did he call Viera that was worse?

  • @Ledco15

    i never said he should sign black players for the sake of it i'm merely pointing out its an interesting statistic, as i said 'coincidence'. do you not know what that word means? heaven forbid that there might be racist football bosses!!

  • @RockAndRollMassacre what he has to sign a black player over a white player just to not be racist? thats just positive discrimination. should a black person be offered a job just because hes black over a white person? maybe he never signed a black person because there was no black players he wanted. use your brain you P.C brainwashed twit.
