	Big Ron Atkinson - he is the chosen one - RTG Message Boards
		i was in the position of personally knowing ron in the mid 70s when he was cambridge utd manager.
		ron is NOT a racist, he did make a couple of silly remarks yes, but hand on heart haven't we all, let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
		personally i think its a generational thing with ron as opposed to actual malice but i do think the north of england has a bad enough reputation for racism without the appointment of a percieved racist as one of the most high profile positions in the north east.

		Big Ron was a flash character, loud, outspoken, with bags of jewellery, the United fans loved him....until it all went wrong.

		Atkinson's cup success's at United and later Aston Villa/Sheffield Wednesday, illustrate that he was more of a cup competition specialist than a league championship campaigner.
