Just seen an article on BBC Sports website about football falling behind its targets re: appointing coaches etc of black, Asian, or mixed heritage.
Surely, you pick the best man or woman for the job, you don't think, for example, I can't appoint candidate A because although both him/her and candidate B are better qualified than candidate C, I need to be diverse so C gets the job.
Also if no black, Asian, or mixed applicants for a post how can you appoint them.
I heard a while ago of a rule that you had to at least interview a "minority" for each post, again if they don't apply how can you?
All for equality but targets are not realistic surely
