Rooney Rule debate focuses attention on Powell

There is a debate going on at the moment about whether the FA should introduce a version of the Rooney Rule used in the United States which requires that every shortlist for a managerial vacancy should include an ethnic minority candidate.   Of course, all this could result in is tokenism and Chris Powell is sceptical about it, stressing that what is important is to get the right man for the job regardless of colour.

The debate has, however, led to a number of articles about the Charlton manager as a 'role model' and the best of them is here: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/black-guys-must-go-out-there-and-push-themselves-forward-says-powell-2351419.html
