Ok, we covered this previously during the Euros. That's simply not true.

With regards to win percentages excluding caretaker managers like Carsley or single game managers like Allardyce, the top 6 are as follows.

Capello 66.7% (28 wins in 42 games)
Southgate 62.7% (64 wins in 102 games)
Ramsey 61.1% (69 wins in 113 games)
Hoddle 60.7% (17 wins in 28 games)
Greenwood 60.0% (33 wins in 55 games)
Eriksson 59.7% (40 wins in 67 games)

With the 2 previous foreign managers in 1st and 6th, you might have to do a bit more convincing here with an argument based on nationality alone.

I though my reply (which was basically: "faaaak off!") was succincter.

What a bloody disaster. Would rather have stuck with Southgate or Carsley. I predict he will be sacked within 2 years like every other major job he has had.

Very surprised. The sort of character that England never appoint

A winner? Who is not past it?

You could be right. What were they thinking?

After winning major honours.

What's not to like?

the worst England managers were both foreign.

Don Revie, Graham Taylor, Schteve McTwat?

The real issue here is the FA are clueless

I don't go with that. Wiegman has been brilliant for our women's team.

SW would have been the really brave choice

Baldrick from Blackadder has more convincing plans than the F.A

American Seagle · Oct 15, 2024

Genuine question: why is nationality a requirement for the playing staff but not for the rest of the staff?

Man of Harveys · Oct 15, 2024

The most important question is: does he still have his widely rumoured sex dungeon?

The staff in the bar are foreign students.

Best: Sir Alf.

Worst: Schteeve? Revie? Old grand dad?

Who were those worst foring managers? Sven was decent. The miserable Italian was decent.

The reason why we shouldn't have a foreign manager isn't because foreign managers are no good. It's because they are foreign. That is sufficient reason.

However, Tommy Tootle is the best available manager, so until there are better English managers available, I'm not going to shit my bed.

define decent.........?

Sven - predictable, always played Beckham / hoofball / clueless squad selections / wasted the golden generation
Capello - Keystone cops/Algeria, Germany thrashing / 1-4 down-brings on Heskey / couldn't speak English/didn't even realise players taking pee shouting Postman pat in his face during training/debacle

etc...

@hart's shirt has posted all the statistics. :shrug:

I am happy to admit I don't want a foreign manager because foreign managers are not normally English.

There is no need for you to dress up the narrative with faux fact. :shrug:

I am slightly disturbed by the first two thumbs up my post received, if I'm honest.

A Teutonic Colin W@nker.

Charmless.

Feeling the pressure of Mansour/Guardiola …. lacking personality, he can’t cope.

I personally hate the name Colin it’s never associated with anything worthwhile
