It is coming to something when Dwight Yorke, a three-time title winner and a Treble winner with Manchester United, has to consider clubbing together with other Black ex-pros to buy a club, to create a manager’s job. Football still has no use for most Black players beyond punditry - regardless of what they achieve - once they finish playing. @cnnsport And yes: • Yorke does have all of his qualifications. So do the other Black ex-pros on the market. • The likes of Kompany, Nuno and Vieira are far from the only Black ex-pros capable of leading teams. • A raft of players have been handed jobs without all their qualifications including Southgate, Shearer, Roeder, Beattie, Fabregas, Neil, Scholes, Will Still and many more. • Many Black ex-pros - Yorke included - still apply for jobs without receiving so much as an acknowledgment while the many of their white counterparts are handed jobs on a plate. It has to change.
