Will the Guardian sack him as well? He does Big Ron's Chalkboard for the sports section.

You'd assume the loveable racist banter wasn't a regular occurrance, unless someone leaked this particular instance to the media to force Atkinson's resignation.
I don't follow this.

"It was a great time. I think there's more racial prejudice now than there was then, though we used to make them sit on the back of the bus going to away games. We all used to laugh and joke about it. Cyrille [Regis] would say, 'If you don't stop giving me stick I'm going to buy a house next door to you'," he said in a recent interview.
And so Big Ron really does prove himself not to have a fucking clue.

Limbo dancing! That great threat to the English way of life. No wonder they attract pig thick scumbags with investigative reporting of that calibre.

Alternatively, get a 38 to Victoria. Take the train to Wareham in Dorset and then a bus to Swanage, there is a fine one called Da Plaice which does great chips and veggie sausages in batter.

Is it me or does this read really badly?
Not as bad as his restatement in that Guardian article:
"I have worked with more black players, I would think, than any other manager in the country and I bet none of them has ever heard me say it to them."

Viv Anderson played for England in when? 1979? 1980?
THAT IS ONLY 24 YEARS AGO!

Apparently Big Ron said, 'he's what's known in some schools as a lazy...blah blah' which is technically different to saying, 'he is a lazy... blah blah', although not all that different, I suppose.
