Must be a league record perhaps?

Coleman
Sanchez
Hodgson
Hughes

Bolton may have a good shout - perhaps Blackpool but not many other top flight clubs?


DukeTyrion

I think we may have only ever had one non-British manager (Tigana)

sipwell

Isn't Hughes Welsh? Or is it the same like "when Andy Murray wins he is British and when he loses he is Scottish"?
No forum is complete without a silly Belgian participating!


Edwatch_Winston_Malone

Wasn't Lewington manager for a short while?

MJG

Karl-Heinz Riedle(caretaker)...before Tigana

Chopper

Well, I think you'd be surprised.

Everton, Blackburn, Blackpool, Bolton & Birmingham seem to have been managed almost exclusively by British managers.

If you include Eire as British then you can add Man United and Wolves to the list.

Man United have only had four managers since 1972, two English and two Scots. Prior to that was their only non-UK manager who was Frank Farrell of Eire.

If you ask Andy Murray it is actually the other way around

My missus was pleased to hear of the hiring of Kean and Dalglish. She so misses Rab C. Nesbit since we left Old Blighty, and listening to those gaffers brings it all back to her.

To Mr and Mrs Hatter,
I am a bit of Rab C Nesbitt fan myself. Here is one of my fav clips, Rab on holiday in Benidorm, Spain:

Mr. Finn, the Memsahib and myself continue to be in your debt. Classic!

On a more serious (and better washed) note, what are people's feelings re British managers as opposed to foreign ones?

Does it have any impact at all? For every Wenger there's a Gullit. But equally for every Hughes, there's a (S)Megson.

There is only one Iain Dowie...

And thank the Good Lord for that

Actually, it is only three British managers. Sanchez wasn't a Brit, he was an arse hole.

I was reading about him the other day - did you know, before us he managed Northern Ireland and beat both England and Spain. You'd think if someone had done something like that, he'd mention it a few times wouldn't you?

True, he had some luck with No. Ireland but as the old saying goes, "even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now & thean".
