This is being discussed on a couple of threads, so I'll merge them here.

Just gets better and better at this club ;doh
He said he wasn’t keen on Russian players or Italians as they have trouble settling
And although we have some good African lads in team more often than not than can be hard work to deal with
That’s not racist that’s him speaking from experience
That is the route of Racism, classing a group of people as the same and then giving that group a set type of characteristics which then prescribes how you treat them.
Outside of that when your the head of recruitment you should be looking under every rock to find people not turning your back on the worlds biggest contintent....
I really hope we haven't missed out on the next Drogba, George Weah, Essien, Eto, Salah, Mane, Yaya Toure because of this discrimination.......
Racist.
(if accurately reported.)
His comments about Russians and Italians are equally bigoted, but not racist ... and one kind of prejudice can't be used to justify other kinds of prejudice.
However, This leak begs all sorts of questions regarding who else in the club Henry has had these discussions with - Moyes / Sullivan ???
This will not go away any time soon.
And I thought I'd heard it all.

bbb, would a conspiracy theorist say the leak and the timing of the leak to the Daily Mail was arranged by the club? #thatwaymadnesslies
Moyes? Sully?
Mission accomplished?? - I honestly dont know.
Hes been suspended by the way. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42898043
Hope he has his own email trail - that could be fun, but I think that Moyes may be in trouble - it must have been discussed with him for Henry to have made the comments that he had.
Cant keep up ;doh
What is wrong with the powers that be at this club.
Any good work they do is undone by one amateur hour.
I've moved them over now ;ok
n fact, I hope they are already getting loads of support on social media.
