The British merry-go-round continues.
It's no coincidence that the bottom five teams in the Premier League have all changed their managers this season and all have gone with the "Experienced British" managers. Only Southampton can be absolved given the change has only been made his week. Only Everton have done ok with a British appointment in Allardyce and they are now struggling and under-performing.
Swansea, Leicester and Watford went with foreign coaches and they have done well because of it. Hopefully the end is nigh for the myth that British Premier League Experience is important because it isn't anymore.
Look at Albion. We could have gone with Óscar García who was interested in the job. Instead we went with Alan Pardew and look what's happened.
