Not only (IMO) is he talking utter shit, what struck me more was his inability to actually write coherently and structure a sentence or a paragraph properly.

he has two word paragraphs on occasion, it reads like a "what did you do in the summer" primary school report.

Wow, I'm actually shocked that this guy thinks Connor is getting abuse because he is black.

It's as though losing the last three games 5-0, 2-0 and 5-0 have nothing to do with it.

The article is crap. It's just ridiculous posturing to suggest Connor's skin colour is the reason that he gets this type of comment. Kean got exactly the same type of comment when he took over at Blackburn.

It's the Daily Mirror.

It's no good blaming Connor. Wolves were shite when McCarthy was running the place. It was a pointless sacking IMO, seeing as they didn't have a suitable replacement ready to move in.

The Wolves fans are rightly miffed that their club sacked mick, who is a total twat, but at least has top flight experience and replaced him with a no body.

It's nothing to do with his race.

There are not many black managers knocking about but it's impossible to say how many black ex-players actually want to take up football management.

Paul Ince had a bad time at Blackburn having been relatively successful at Macclesfield. Viv Anderson was assistant to Bryan Robson at Boro and Keith Hill was well respected at Macclesfield.

John Barnes was a failure at Celtic and Tranmere but other than that I can't think of many others.

Paul Ince was at MK Dons. His son is a pretty good little player for Blackpool - which of course has nothing to do with the topic.

Phil Brown has done alright.

Ruud Gullit is probably the most high profile black manager we've had in English football.

I find the article sickening and I'm not even a Wolves fan.

It's about time they started shooting journalists like this.

It would be plain strange if the number of black managers were proportionate to the number of black people in the country. Or number of black ex-players.

It just does not happen - it doesn't mean it's anything to do with colour.

Just like it would be weird if I flipped a coin 100 times and I got exactly 50 heads and 50 tails. It just doesn't always work like that.

Tell you what. If TC had won the last 3 games 5-0, 5-1, 2-0 he would be getting nothing but praise. Would that be because he is black?

We are talking about black managers, not orange ones.
