SEVERAL of Bradford s leading speakers on racial equality have called for more action on the matter for the sake of future generations. Six people from organisations across the city spoke on a Race Equality Network (REN) webinar, chaired by Shadim Hussain of Bradford Foundation Trust. It was in honour of the UK s first Race Equality week (February 1-7) which aims to unite communities of all ethnicities, tackle racism and celebrate diversity. Sofia Mahmood, founder of Empowering Minds, believes we are ‘united, yet divided’ and thinks we need to hone in on the finer detail for change to happen. She said: Race equality is about inclusiveness, not excluding anyone, and making it inclusive for everyone.
BRADFORD City fans have had their say over who they would like to see replace Stuart McCall as the club s new manager. The Bantams have begun the search for a new man in the dugout after club legend McCall was sacked on Sunday. The favourite for the job with both SkyBet and William Hill is former Leeds, Newcastle and Real Madrid defender Jonathan Woodgate at 2/1, however he is not believed to be fancied for the role. Second with both Sky and William Hill is former Bantams gaffer Phil Parkinson, at 3/1 with Sky and 9/2 with WH, but he is not likely to make an emotional return to BD8.
