Troy Townsend says the make-up of Football League boardrooms is preventing black coaches from getting managerial jobs. Recent research from the Sports Peoples Think Tank showed efforts to get more football coaches from a Black Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) background are not progressing as hoped.A study compiled by Loughborough University and the Fare Network showed only four per cent of coaches at Englands 92 Premier League and EFL clubs are from a minority. Townsend, Education & Development manager for Kick It Out, believes too many League clubs are employing managers that are a reflection of their own boardrooms - to the detriment of aspiring black coaches.I automatically put the pressure on those who are doing the hiring and the firing, he told Sky Sports News HQ. If your boardroom looks a particular way, you want a particular type of manager, lets not mince any words. The founder and chairman of Kick It Out, Lord Ouseley, says the millions invested into grassroots football must also be used to tackle prejudice When someone sacks a manager, nine times out of 10 they already know who they want to put in to replace them and theyve already spoken to that person too.The reason they let the manager go is because theyve nigh on done that deal. That disheartens a lot of people when theyre going for jobs, and thats a lot of people across the board.That recruitment process is not fair and until we can introduce a fair recruitment process that wont change. Are black coaches trusted? The honest answer has to be no because if they were there wouldnt be this disparity in the figures.There are people who feel they dont get to an interview and are not being recognised for their ability to coach. Its going to be difficult to change that mind set, especially at the top end of the game.Townsend also criticised Wolves for not following the voluntary code under which clubs are encouraged to interview BAME candidates, instead replacing Walter Zenga with Paul Lambert with seemingly no interview process undertaken.

The 29-year-old from Port Colborne, Ont., has nothing but good things to say about former U.S. marine Liz (Girlrilla) Carmouche ahead of their co-main event Wednesday on the UFCs "Fight for the Troops" televised card in Fort Campbell, Ky. A stunning come-from-behind drive in Sydney has delivered Shane van Gisbergen his first Supercars championship, denying Jamie Whincup a record seventh title.The Holden gun finished third behind his Red Bull Racing teammate Whincup in the opening race of the season-ending round for an unassailable points lead.But he had looked unlikely to close it out on Saturday after copping an early drive-through penalty.The Kiwi - who started on pole position - paid the price for spinning reigning champion Mark Winterbottoms Ford, sending van Gisbergen towards the back of the grid.A safety car with 25 laps to go helped shoot him up to ninth, before clawing his way up to third with some superb driving and brave passing.The result takes his lead over Whincup to 170 points, more than the 150 on offer in Sundays final race.He becomes the first New Zealand-born driver to win an Australian touring car crown since Jim Richards in 1991.Van Gisbergen had been considered a mercurial talent since he started racing in the category in 2007 as a gung-ho 18-year-old.But after switching to the factory-backed Red Bull outfit this season from the family-run Tekno Autosports, the 277-year-old has been incredibly consistent and measured.dddddddddddde finished on the podium in each of the past eight races leading up to the finale, including Sandown, Bathurst and Gold Coast.Three of those were wins, while Whincup took out the other five.Van Gisbergens hot form continued on the streets of Olympic Park, setting a new lap record in practice on Friday before smashing it again in qualifying.The season ends with a second 74-lap race on Sunday, the last time Sydney will host the finale before it heads to Newcastle in 2017.Van Gisbergen was quick to apologise to Winterbottom after the race and credit his awesome car for getting a championship-winning podium.What an amazing year, he said.Its a pretty awesome day.Whincup said he gave it his all but congratulated van Gisbergen.The winner of the championship is the most consistent, and theyve been the most consistent, the six-time title-winner said.It was not quite our year but I hope everyone enjoyed the battle and looking forward to doing it all again next year.
