Liam Rosenior's Chelsea appointment must be a tipping point not just a landmark moment | Samuel Okafor

Man, I'm loving this move by Chelsea! It's like they're finally catching up with the times ๐Ÿ˜Š. I remember when I was growing up, watching black players break into the Premier League, it was like a dream come true. And now, to see a black manager leading one of the top clubs? It's a huge deal, you know? ๐Ÿคฏ

But, at the same time, I'm thinking about all the other leagues in Europe that have had black managers for years and how they're still getting the recognition they deserve ๐Ÿ˜”. And what about all the underrepresented groups in football, like women and LGBTQ+ folks? We need to see more of them in leadership positions, too ๐Ÿค.

I mean, Chelsea's new ownership is all about being different, which is cool and all, but we need to make sure that this change doesn't just stop at one club. We need a whole league-wide shift towards diversity and inclusion ๐Ÿ’ช.

And can we talk about how hard it must be for Rosenior to go through all these interviews and meetings without knowing what's going on behind the scenes? I mean, there are still biases out there, unfortunately ๐Ÿค•. But hey, at least now we're talking about it and trying to make a change ๐Ÿ”ฅ.

Anyway, let's hope that this is just the start of something amazing ๐Ÿ˜Š. A more inclusive football world would be awesome! ๐Ÿ‘
 
I'm loving that Chelsea's gone and appointed Liam Rosenior as their new gaffer ๐Ÿ™Œ! It's about bloody time we had a black English manager at one of our top clubs, you know? I mean, it's not like he's been snubbed forever or anything ๐Ÿ˜‚. And yeah, this is a big deal for diversity in football - only three black managers in the Premier League right now? That's a joke! ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ Chelsea's ownership has finally woken up and realized that they need to shake things up around there.

But let's get serious for a sec. This whole 'diversity' thing is all well and good, but we need more than just words - we need action ๐Ÿค”. Those clubs still using informal methods to pick their managers? What about transparency and accountability? We can't just gloss over that stuff because it's uncomfortable ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™‚๏ธ. And what about those governance structures? They're like a mess! ๐Ÿšฎ

I'm all for Chelsea setting an example, but we need more clubs to follow suit. I mean, it's not like this is some new-fangled thing - we've been talking about it for years and nothing's ever changed ๐Ÿ™„. But Rosenior's appointment does show that there's still hope, you know? Maybe now the other clubs will wake up and realize they need to get their act together ๐Ÿ’ช.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that those workforce diversity stats actually mean something - we don't want some half-baked initiative just to tick a box ๐Ÿ“. Let's see real change happening around here, not just some PR stunt ๐Ÿ“ฐ.
 
can't believe it's taken so long for a black manager to get the top spot at chelsea ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ’ช meanwhile, other sports like basketball and tennis have been doing this for years ๐Ÿ€๐ŸŽพ anyway, i think liam rosensior is the right guy for the job, he's got experience and knows his stuff ๐Ÿ‘ but it's about time we see more diversity in the football world, from the youth academy to the boardroom ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ’ผ we need to get rid of those implicit biases and create a more level playing field โšฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฅ
 
idk why its taking so long 4 a black guy 2 b manager at a top club ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ but i'm glad it happened!! chelsea got balls 4 makin the move & showin they wanna change ๐Ÿ’ช now we just gotta hold them accountable 4 makin sure they keep it up ๐Ÿ“Š its not just about liam rosenior, its bout breakin down all the barriers in football ๐Ÿšง gotta get more women in management too, cant have a male dominated sport ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ lets see some changes happen!!
