I'm not convinced that experience of English football or the Championship matters as much these days as it used to. For starters every game is available to watch going back a few seasons if you want and at the end of the day how many players now in the Championship are foreign anyway??
I would also bet the coaches he has brought in all speak English anyway, one of them I believe worked at the FA for a while over here so he should be good with the language. We are definitely taking on the European model for running the club rather than the British traditional method, and that can mean changing HC more often than we are used to but applying a system of play across the whole club. I think thats worth a try.
As regards foreign players, again not sure its that big a step like it used to be for the players and at the end of the day its about ability and coaching more than anything else. Besides the way English players are so over priced is bordering on ridiculous, look at what Bournemouth paid for a guy I cannto even name theother day, 8m pounds I believe. I would rather get the academy going and buy cheaper, often more technically gifted players and bring through our own youngsters to fill the squad.
