Apparently Garth Crooks was angered by Wenger and Mourinho's comments on Yaya Toure racism row. It seems like he in not content on wasting space on BBC for his 'I pick eleven names out of a hat for the team of the week' and went on to to do this.

Racism is a cancer that plagues football and one of the main issues in the history of man kind so everything has to be done to prevent it. it doesnt change the fact that Garth Crooks is the worst pundit in the world and Above article is a cheap attempt to raise his profile by having a go at two people whos got nothing to do with the incident what so ever. Here are the comments from Wenger and Mourinho.
Mourinho -
"The history of football was made equally by many races, and the black players have a fantastic contribution of what football is. You go to the World Cup, the World Cup is the biggest expression of national team competitions - races, people from different parts of the globe, people from every continent. And the black players are very, very important for that. Who is more important, the billions of people in love with the game around the world? Or a few thousand that go to football stadiums and have disgraceful behaviour in relation to black players.If I was a black player I would say the other billions are much more important, so let's fight the thousands, but let's give to the billions what the billions want. And the billions want the best football and the best football without black players is not the best football, for sure."
Wenger -
"I don't know what really happened there, but you cannot tolerate racism of any kind and you have to fight against it. How do you do that?. Honestly I believe Uefa is taking action in the right way and to go as extreme as a boycott, it's a bit early to do that because it's not proven what happened. I believe that Russia itself has to fight against that and of course you want everybody to be active on that."
I think both of them made sensible comments on a sad situation and only a fool like Garth Crooks can be offended by it.

I think you are arguing just for the sake of it. He condemned the act. What do you expect him to say? Racism is more important than football.

I'm arguing for the sake of having an opinion, as we all are. Mine is that some of Mourinho's comments were inappropriate and that Crooks was right to say something.
To some people that means i'm calling him racist, i'm sure he's not - he's just got a massive ego that doesn't know when to take a step back.

I think your personal opinion of jose is clouding your judgement. Look, I am a United supporter but Jose has made a sensible comment and you are putting yourself in Crooks category by finding faults in them. If AVB made those comments I dont think you'll find them inappropriate
