Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew believes English football does not have enough black managers and coaches – and wants the ‘ jobs for the boys ’ culture out of the game . Palace face Queens Park Rangers in Saturday ’ s lunchtime kick-off at Selhurst Park and their manager Chris Ramsey is the only ethnic minority boss in the Barclays Premier League . Pardew wants clubs to work on encouraging ethnic minority coaches to reflect the huge variety of cultures that players in England come from , rather than employing the same “ boys club ” members . Palace manager Alan Pardew believes that English football is n't doing enough to include black coaches . Chris Ramsey , QPR boss , is the only black coach in the top flight - and one of just six in the Football League . Ramsey is one of just six black or ethnic minorities bosses in the Football League , along with Huddersfield Town boss Chris Powell , Brighton ’ s Chris Hughton , Carlisle manager Keith Curle , Leyton Orient boss Fabio Liverani and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink with Burton Albion . ‘ He ( Ramsey ) is black , which I think is great for the Premier League , ’ Pardew said . ‘ It ’ s something that I want to promote here in terms of our coaches , because the percentage of players we have to percentage of coaches in terms of origin isn ’ t right. ’ Palace employ just ‘ three or four ’ black coaches , according to Pardew and in future recruitment he plans to change that , while backing the idea of a ‘ Rooney Rule ’ as seen in American Football where a black coach is considered for every job . ‘ I ’ m going to keep approaching when vacancies come up and make sure that we are covering every kind of opportunity in terms of applications that come in , ’ he said . ‘ It isn ’ t “ jobs for the boys ” here anymore , I ’ m not saying it was , but sometimes it does go like that . Ramsey takes a coaching session at the QPR training ground this week ahead of his side 's trip to Palace . Former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is currently managing League Two outfit Burton Albion . ‘ I think something like that ( the Rooney Rule ) could be looked at . I also know the LMA and the PFA are really trying to encourage a more diverse approach to getting different creeds to come into the coaching world and I just want to take this opportunity to back that up . Pardew also looked to push forward the prospects of more Asian footballers coming into the game after signing South Korean winger Lee Chung-yong from Bolton Wanderers in the January transfer window . And Pardew says Palace , based in the ethnically diverse area of South Norwood outside London , owe it to their surroundings to be more culturally diverse . ‘ I don ’ t want to talk just about Afro-Caribbean coaches either , ’ he said . ‘ We have an Asian player now in our first team . We don ’ t have a lot of that and that ’ s another area that we need to promote , Asian footballers in this area because there ’ s a lot of huge community here . ‘ We need a greater influx of Indians , Afro-Caribbeans , entering our coaching system and getting jobs , so the proportions make sense. ’ Crystal Palace signed Lee Chung-yong from Bolton Wanderers during the January transfer window .
