piffer Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) With everything that is going on in the world right now are we on the verge of making one of the most high profile managerial appointments of the summer if not the last few years. Over the last few days there have been lots of Black players, ex players and personalities talking about a lack of BAME people in senior positions within the game. When Dyer was given the job on a temporary basis this was talked about. The focus has changed significantly since then. Are we prepared for the attention and publicity this could draw to us. I’m in no way suggesting we would appoint anyone based on creed or colour. We could be at the forefront of something here.

Popular Post Beaker71 Posted June 13, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 I think the fact that our manager is being talked about because of his skin colour says everything about what it wrong with the world right now. I couldn’t give a f**k what nationality or ethnicity or race or even gender our manager is, as long as they deliver results and performances on the park. And they’re not an Ayr fan or course. 62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no longer enough to 'not see colour'. It is significant that we have a manager of colour. I know you mean well, but it's important to acknowledge Dyer's race as our manager 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd happily have an Ayr fan no matter what he/she looked like if they had us competing at the same level as Willie Waddell or Steve Clarke 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdevoy Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 I really, really dont give a flying s**t what colour the guy is. Can he do the job? That's all, I am interested in. The fact that KFC us prepared to give him the opportunity with so much "nodding and winking" in Scottish footbal does make me feel a bit better about being a Killue fan, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby14 Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 He’s been the manager for the last 8 months. I don’t think it’s a particularly big story 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killie billies pal Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 I truly believe that it doesn’t matter to the vast majority of Killie fans, however I also believe that many BAME people either already in the game or fans may well look at Dyers appointment as a significant step in the right direction. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangodog Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 If Alex keeps getting poor results then we will have no option other than to get rid of him. Whether John Barnes and the media want to make something out of nothing, that's up to them. The simple fact is AD is in the same position as any manager, you do well and a bigger club wants to hire you, you do badly and you are out the door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudger Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Whenever discussing or thinking about our manager I don’t even remotely think about his skin colour or nationality, genuinely never have. Why are some people insisting on making a big deal of this. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompey Repatriated Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 We do seem quite progressive in having people from various sexes and race in important roles in the club which is certainly pleasing to see 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find it incredibly frustrating that Alex dyer skin colour is even mentioned in regards to his job. Not only frustrating but totally inappropriate in 2020. When AD was appointed Interim Manager last year, when AA was dismissed, at the presser that week the first question that was asked referred to the fact he was a black man. I remember thinking why was that deemed important to ask as it has no relevance to his position as a football manager. I do not remember who asked the question but clearly he thought it important. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
