Don't agree with the Rooney Rule at all. It just sounds like forcing clubs, who have already got their minds on a manager, just wasting a BME candidate's time for an interview that person has no chance of getting. Somebody on Twitter said that person would gain experience and that's true but a football interview experience, I imagine, is different to a job interview for a normal job. I don't feel they'd be missing out big time on experience IMO.
Best way to change things is improve the diverse make up in boardrooms and in the decision making process at the top. Hopefully, that decision helps people change their thinking and give BME candidates a real opportunity and not just tokenism and wasting their time.
On the other hand, black coaches have to put themselves out there. Rio Ferdinand, for example, has said he wants to coach England. Probably won't but brilliant to hear him have that ambition but like alot of retired players, they jump into the media limelight. And then talk about BME candidates not getting a chance when they, themselves, have not even tried.
