VIDEO: Asians in English football, what’s stopping them?

English online TV channel “Pitch Talk” did a report on the situation of South Asians/Indians in English football and raised the question why players and officials of South Asian background don’t make it big in the EPL.

“Pitch Talk” met various people from the community to discuss the topic and the potential barriers surrounding the issue. Indian origin coach Judan Ali, who has been linked with the manager job at Blackburn Rovers, B4U presenter Nitin Ranpuria and female grass roots coach Manisha Tailor faced the questions of the host.
