As for the hiring, as I’m suffering insomnia at the moment I googled a few things last night/this mornind and found out we employ many PoC staff, not just in the zero hour contract departments such as catering department, but also in community engagement roles and also our head of fitness and conditioning, Carl Serrant, is a PoC. So in the first team alone the assistant manager and head of fitness are PoC. Also, its no secret Sol Bamba is being groomed as a future coach, possibly manager of the football club.
I also took Mozzers advice and googled the Cardiff City Community Foundation and the tremendous work they do. Work they do with local schools and local community teams, some of which he has had personal experience actually running a multi cultural junior team in the community himself for a decade.
However, in typical CCMB fashion again, he gets shouted down by someone with an example from 11 years ago and who’s opinions on all matters, not just football, opinions which he strongly try’s to force onto others, are usually formed from experiences 20-30 years ago. It’s utterly laughable,
Finally, there is also the House of Sport facility, a not for profit facility in the local community, one ive had the pleasure of attending regularly before covid struck as my daughter played in a netball league there. It employs people from within the local community and is also used by a very diverse membership. Yes it was Steve Borleys idea but Ken Choo is a trustee and the facility is clearly connected to the club.
Personally I think to suggest the club isn’t trying to do its bit in the diverse local community and is no better or worse to the rest of society is an insult to some of the obvious good work that it actually does.
I don’t agree with DML very often, not least because I think he’s a multi with a personality disorder, but he’s right about one thing. It’s the usual suspects knocking the club again.
