HAYES, Oct 20 — Racism could be eradicated from football if the authorities cared enough, Les Ferdinand, the former Newcastle and England forward and now director of football at London club QPR, has told AFP.
“Football has been an arena in the past where people could come and voice their opinions on your colour and throw bananas onto the pitch and walk away without any consequences,” Ferdinand told AFP at second-tier QPR’s training facilities in west London. “They don’t then ask the person who’s been victimised, ‘What do we do next, how do we move it forward?’, they do something about it.
“These guys got on it, got off it and it seems like it’s moving too fast for them to get back on it again.”Just as when he was a player, the thoughtful Ferdinand is not one to shirk challenges and he has managed to right what was a listing ship at QPR when he arrived in 2015.
