The former England goalkeeper tells David Hytner about the lack of BAME coaches, his desire to manage again and dropping Dimitar Berbatov in India

David James describes the situation as complicated. He had not signed Dimitar Berbatov, rather he inherited him midway through the 2017-18 Indian Super League season after he took charge of Kerala Blasters for his first job in full-time management.

Who is he ? Silence is violence.. Just because it’s never affected you doesn’t mean it’s never happened . Just because I’ve never been abused doesn’t mean that it’s not a wide spread problem across the country and world ... I would seek justice for the abused BLM

I didn’t even notice “calamity’s” ethnicity. That makes me a racist for sure!

Seems reasonable. He’ll probably be cancelled for it.

If only that was the norm experience for people of colour but it isn’t. There will always be exceptions

James was a role model for many kids black and white... Top man..

well placed sinking ship analogy, just before the paragraph about floods 👌👌👌

So what is your point?

Difficult to say ethnicity didn’t hamper his career when his lack of talent did all the hard work.

Congratulations to him, but the fact that one person didn't experience bias doesn't negate its existence nor its impact.

Thank you Mr James for your honesty. You were always a joy to watch and study!

Ethnicity compared to intelligence. I can voice out that ethnicity is a way people think one belongin groups of people with some un/known backgrounds but intelligence has more perspective to that. Being one has many priviledges despite one's ethnicity. It's a source of acceptance

The ultimate ‘Cool story, bro’

Well said david, a lot of people are jumping on the band wagon because they want attention. At least you're honest

I'm sure he can explain why Carson and Green got so much game time for England when he was at his prime then.

Filmmaker David Ayer refutes Shia LaBeouf 'brownfacing' accusations‘This is a Jewish dude playing a white character’ Brownfacing? Do we also get Yellowfacing accusations sometime? I mean. It doesn't seem like brown facing? He didn't wear brown make up. My issue is that the lead character in a film about Mexican gangs is white. There is no need for a white character in this film. Couldn't it just have been an all Mexican cast? I mean. It doesn't seem like brown facing? He didn't wear brown make up. My issue is that the lead character in a film about Latino gangs is white. There is literally no need for a white character in this film. Couldn't it just have been an all latino cast?
