    Race allegations by 7 players. Manager suspended for allegedly having a separate changing room for whites and non whites at the training ground. Alledged to have used various racist names for the non whites. I'll not type them on here but they are in the social domain.

    FA investigation pending. He got suspended mid April.

    If true it makes you wonder just when will people learn ? Or maybe some don't ...........

    A separate changing room? Wow

    I can sort of understand how racist names etc can happen and nobody else knows but how the hell can he have separate changing rooms for races and nobody else noticed?

    It's taken this long for anything to have been said or done?

    According to various articles in various papers , since 2020-21 and one of the players as he was the gaffer and they felt they couldn't because of that.

    The names they allegedly were called would make Alf Garnett blush.

    the name calling seems reasonable to believe. I've watched some of his interviews and on everyone, he comes across as a nasty piece of work. separate changing rooms though!? I'll take that one with a pinch of salt for now I think. I just can't imagine anyone would have ever accepted that. black, white, home or away team.

    Words fail me. How dim must a person be to think they were ever going to get away with this in a work environment?
    The fact he seems to have got away with it for so long is shocking though.

    if you watch some of his interviews you'll get an idea why. proper obnoxious and clearly doesn't appear to give a fk what other people think. definitely bully material in there.

    just found this. completely random reference in there 'we're not a tribe of American ind...native americans'.

    @Cunning Stunt just mentions the training ground changing rooms so maybe wouldn't affect the opposition teams?

    If true about changing rooms then the whole club needs book throwing at them.
    There is no way the people running club didn’t know.

    I've never heard him talk before but before I pressed play I thought to myself ' I bet he's a cockney'. Don't know why but just did.

    Looking on twitter it seems the story originated from the Mail?

    I remember reading a quote from a football journalist a couple of months ago, he got asked who his worst manager was to interview (or something along those lines) and he said John Yems. Claimed he was a nasty man.

    This is vile. I really hope the separate changing room thing is a lie - because what does that say about the white teammates who said nothing? Vile
