Players' association plan to tackle racism based on 'Rooney rule'

The UK's players’ chief Gordon Taylor has announced a six-point action plan to deal with racism in football after criticism from some members.

The Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) chief executive says the union wants tougher penalties for racist abuse including making it potentially a sackable offence, culprits ordered to attend awareness programmes and a form of the ’Rooney rule’ to boost the number of black coaches and managers.
