Perhaps a better question would be why is there only 4 English managers in the highest league in England? (20%)
Maybe it's due to the fact that the "greatest" English manager is a kick and rush merchant who as far as I can tell doesn't seem to believe in tactics (obviously I'm talking about good old 'Arry). Don't know the reason but I can't think of any good English managers off the top if my head.

There are 5 English born managers

'Arry - Spuds
Glenn Roeder - Newcastle
Neil Warnock - QPR
Mick McCarthy - Wolves
Woy Hodgson - WBA

and had this thread been made last week, the Elephant Man was at Sunderland!

Alan pardew is at Newcastle
classing someone with 57 caps for Ireland as English is stretching the truth a little I think.
You are right in saying that there would have been one more last week with Steve Bruce. But now there isn't. So my point is still valid. Not a dig at England or English people. I am actually asking why are there so few English managers in the top division in England?

Yeah, meant Pardew not Roeder lol.
I did say in my opening line ''English born'' as I thought McCarthy might be classed as being Irish! The bloke is born and bred in Barnsley ffs!!!

Well considering his Mum was English and he grew up in England where he has lived nearly all his life is far from stretching the truth

Not only grew up in England - but born in England too. But apparently that's not enough to be English! Bet he hasn't got an Irish passport ;)

 

[andy85000]

not really that surprising; our league is awful, theres no money in Scottish football at all yet we continue to produce decent players (the national team should be far more successful than it currently is). So managers that follow on is natural...

Also maybe potential English managers see the way the press slaughter them, or give them ridiculously high expectations (and then slaughter them when they don't achieve) and say 'feck that I'll get a job as a motd pundit'

Welcome our northern friend. Some may say otherwise, but I for one welcome you as a Blue and rather you didn't go the Rag route like the rest of the cretinised, moronic, demonic, cuntish bandwagon population of the world has done oh so many years.

Top poster forgot dumb McLeish @ Villa, making the total 8 out of 20 and 40%. just checked on BBC 606

the 2nd post on there says that Kean is a puppet :D very funny indeed he is. his head will still be off come end of season. how many hattricks the fraud Yakubu does won't be able to save him from that perpetual axe.

The truth is difficult to argue with. But for some reason my brain will not accept him bring English. Tbh, it doesn't really matter. He's not the next England manager. And apart from that gobshite in tottenham I can't think of an English manager anyone actually rates???

It's only the London media who rate 'Arry.
Every club he has previously managed has ended up on financial shit street....
