None needed my friend....

[AVIM]

No chance and now there are 5 of them!!

 

Gentle racism is alive and well :(

 

Maybe its a badly worded poll? I voted a. Would prefer someone with 100% backing of fans than 95% backing, even if i am in the 95%. No brainer surely.

[Megavaliant]

To look at a mans skin colour to make a decision is to ignore his ability to do the job or not.

I live in a country where I am in the minority..... 99.9% of the population are not white.... I have done business here in the past... I selected my suppliers and manufacturers on their ability to provide what I wanted at the best price.... thats business.... vale is a business

 

Correct ProMo me:D:D

The reason this thread falls down is because we know of Mo. The reason we have said no preference is to show we want Mo in, which I do too. But imagine there is another person, equal to Mo in every way, except he is white. We have to pick one of them by voting for them at an EGM. Who do you vote for? Why?

 

Can I also please point out to prefer one is not to be racist. Preferring one does not mean you would not accept the other, with reasonable displeasure at your choice not winning being allowed. It only becomes racist when the variable of race has more weight to it than an important variable, such as business acumen. But if all other variables (wealth, business acumen, contacts, promises, etc) are equal, is making a decision based on race still racist?

 

I voted no preference BTW. But as a hypothetical, I feel the questions I have posted holds a lot of thinking.

[The Master]

People who vote for an Englishman are in my eyes racist.

 

I couldn't care less the colour of someone.

Even if the "Englishman" is the best candidate?

[ollyandpatch]

Wonder if the person who voted indigenous English (i.e White) will have the gall to admit it.

 

I thought the same !

Is making a decision based on race racist? YES! Ofcourse it is. Your hypothesis is extremely unlikely, i understand why you make the point but lets face it, no two people with a competing bid will 100% share the same vision.

 

If in the unlikely event your hypothesis did arise the only two options available are;

 

1. Fight

 

2. Rock paper scissors

[Trampilot]

Martians are more favourable than some "english whites".

[Cheesy_Whatsit]

As long as there the right person/people for the job I couldn't care less what nationality/race any potential new owners are.

[Chris 84]

Dont care as long as they try their best and are honest.

[cplowe1]

So the vast majority of Vale fans aren't racist then :-). Give us a go, Mo.

[tonyh]

Don't care if it's the worst person on the planet as long as (s)he's got the dosh. Don't care if it's laundered money.

You'd care if Vale was shut down because of it.
