Think the big problem is that the bulk of the teams in the english top two divisions are either foreign owned or shall we say a little old fashioned and as such arent really open to taking a chance.

I look at the leagues and see Bournemouth took a punt when they didn't have money on howe and it worked. Derby took a chance on lampard as well as clement, one worked the other just doesnt have it.

Wba tried the old fashioned approach and it failed, they settled on moore after giving him the temp job, he did well and is probably the cheap option too.

I guess the point is not many top teams want to give a chance to a brit but I think its sometimes down to a lack of them in prominent positions, as well as their current clubs not wanting them to leave. I mean lets be theoretical, if you are michael Carrick and youre manure ass man, would you really want to become head honcho at ipswich who dont have the money nor the players?

Think some of it is also down to the men themselves, a little bit too ego centric, not wanting to go to a lower level to prove themselves (not saying carrick is like that, he was just a name)

I think some of the foreign managers like wagner, stendel, farke all view the opportunity as their chance to shine, a brit knows the clubs and probably thinks naa I'm better than that and thinks that their past playing abilities dictate the position the feel they warrant. I believe english football still looks at past playing days as an indicator to being a good manager and that too must stop
