I wasn’t suggesting we appoint an English manager, just that managers already managing English clubs shouldn’t be overlooked on the basis they “haven’t worked for us before”.
Moyes did. Ronko and Martinez didn’t (although Martinez did produce the last Football i enjoyed as an Evertonian - and the most promising results). I’m ruling Allardyce out as he was always only a short-term appointment.
Silva was just a bad appointment and a lot of blues had their reservations beforehand. We put on a huge charm offensive for a bloke who had been relegated the season before and who had less than 12 months Premier League experience.
I know. But I was just saying that I fear for the domestic coaching due to the influx from overseas. How can we unearth any domestic coaches when there are no opportunities.
British coaches are not necessarily inferior - our cycling set up is the envy of the world, while we also do well in many other sports.
It used to be clubs would have a good solid core of local or at least domestic players too, but that is pretty much gone. It’s outside of the debate of course, but I really do not see how this is good for the long-term future of our game.
