Liam Rosenior's Chelsea appointment must be a tipping point not just a landmark moment | Samuel Okafor

man, i'm hyped for liam rosenior's appointment at chelsea 🤩 it's about time we see more diverse faces in top-tier management, but let's not get too carried away here... the bigger picture is still pretty bleak, imo 😔 there's a long way to go before we see meaningful change. i mean, 3.2% of ethnically diverse people in senior leadership positions? that's just embarrassing 🤦‍♂️ and don't even get me started on the league managers association's concerns about implicit bias... it's like they're hiding behind a veil of "oh, we're working on it" 😒

anyway, i think rosenior's success is all well and good, but let's not forget that he's just one person... we need systemic change, not just some token appointment 🤝 and yeah, transparency and accountability are key 🔍 if clubs start publishing their workforce diversity data and having targets for diverse representation, maybe we can make some real progress 🚀

but at the end of the day, it all comes down to us as fans... do we want to see more people like rosenior break through into top-tier positions? or do we just accept that change is slow and painful? 🤔 either way, i'm rooting for liam rosenior and his team, but let's not get too comfortable 😌
 
🤔 I think Rosenior's appointment is a significant step forward for diversity in football, but it's also a wake-up call for clubs to acknowledge their own biases. With only 3.2% of senior leadership positions held by ethnically diverse people, it's clear that more work needs to be done to address the lack of representation. Transparency and accountability are key here - publishing workforce diversity data on an annual basis would be a great starting point 📊. We also need to see clubs setting targets for diverse representation across all levels of their workforce, including coaching staff like Rosenior. It's not just about promoting him as a role model, but also about creating a more inclusive culture where underrepresented groups feel valued and empowered to succeed 💼.
 
idk why ppl r making such big deals about lamar rosenior's appointment lol he broke the glass ceiling but i'm still waiting for someone from the uk with a disability or from a lower socio economic background to get their chance 🙄 anyway, its a step in the right direction and im sure hes gonna do great things with chelsea 👍
 
man, rosenior's appointment is like a dream come true, but we gotta be real, it's still just the tip of the iceberg 🤯. i mean, 3.2% diverse people in senior leadership positions? that's still low for me. and let's not forget about the issue of implicit bias when it comes to recruitment 👀. clubs need to prioritize transparency and accountability if they wanna make real progress.

but on a positive note, rosenior's story is def inspiring 🙌. he's proof that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible 🎯. and i love how kick it out is pushing for more action from the league. we need to see more qualified black coaches breaking through into top-tier positions ASAP 💪. the future of football depends on it 🔥
 
omg i'm literally hyped about liam rosenior becoming chelsea's head coach!!! 🤩 it's like we're finally seeing some real change in the football world, you know? but at the same time, i'm like, what took them so long?! shouldn't clubs be prioritizing diversity and inclusion by now? 🤔 like, the league's workforce is still super white and only 3.2% of senior leaders are from diverse backgrounds... that's crazy! 💯 so yeah, liam rosenior's achievement is def a milestone, but we need to keep pushing for more, you feel?
 
I'm loving this move by Chelsea 🤩! It's about time we see some diversity in the football world, you know? I mean, it's not just about breaking glass ceilings, it's about creating an environment where people from all backgrounds can shine. Liam Rosenior seems like a top coach and his appointment is definitely sending out a positive vibe.

But let's get real for a sec ⚽️... we still have a long way to go in terms of diversity and inclusion in the football industry. I mean, 3.2% ethnically diverse people in senior leadership positions? That's not even a drop in the ocean 🌊! We need more transparency and accountability from clubs when it comes to hiring practices.

I'm all for targets for diverse representation across all levels of the workforce, like, who wouldn't want to see more black coaches leading teams? It's about time we saw some progress here. And yeah, the Independent Football Regulator needs to step up its game too ⚖️... guidance on how to enhance governance through diverse leadership would be a great start.

I'm excited to see where this takes us, though. More qualified black coaches breaking through into top-tier positions could lead to some amazing things on the pitch 🏆! And let's not forget, it's not just about football - it's about creating an environment where everyone can thrive and feel valued. That's something we should all be cheering for 💪
