Will An English Born Manager Ever Win The League Again?

[GP_Monty]

And which English manager is best placed to win the league in the near future, who would it be? Gerrard, Lampard, Potter, Rooney? Maybe even someone who's not even gone into management yet, as I don't think it will be soon.

Non of the scab six will hire a English, or British, manager in the foreseeable future imo. Will take a club like Leicester to win the league with an Englishman in charge, and I cant see that happening soon.

I don't know, I was basing those names on the likelihood of getting a big job in the near future. I can 100% see Gerrard getting the Liverpool job, Potter will end up if not at Spurs / Arsenal then Leicester, and possibly eventually at City. Rooney will probably end up as a minimum at us, and probably at United eventually. Lampard has probably blown his chance.

Just cant see any of them hiring them, they want a big name. Unless Gerrard wins a cple of cups and regular European football, I dont think the rs will go for him after klipperty. Just my opinion like.

Southgate has taken England to the euro finals. If he has a decent world cup I could see one of the bigger teams going for him. Depends if he fancies going back into club football

I like Southgate and think he has done an excellent job with England, but he isnt a manager that could take a club to win the league imo.

Don't know, I reckon even I could win the league with Man city.

Well, top half anyway

Gerrard is nailed on for the reds job make no mistake wether he does well at Villa or not... to much money involved for it not to happen.

This is a good point, I didn't even think of Southgate. Think he's nailed on for one of the big jobs after the world cup regardless now. Maybe Spurs after Conte does his usual couple of years before burning the place to the ground.

Haha.

I could have taken the England team to that semi final of a World Cup, the mighty Panama and every other 3rd rate country they played in that World Cup, barely scraped past average colombian team on pens, they even got beat 3 times in that tournament by Belgian (twice) and the mighty powerhouse nation of 4 million Croatia.

All the big guns dropped out giving him a easy route to the Euro final and he was so negative after getting a early goal and wanted to sit back with 10 men behind the ball in that final, he didn't have the nerve or nous to go for the jugular when italy were out of sorts for an hour, he wanted to park a bus at wembley with home advantage

He's a negative 7 in defence manager, what big club in England is going to sign a manager like that who's tactical nous is a boring negative 7-3 formation, when he comes up against a top team with a proactive technical ability he is found wanting.

He was so good at Boro in club football. lol

Can really see the English powerhouse clubs with owners like Levy, Kroenke Mansour, Saudi's, FSG, Abramovich and the Glazers wanting Southgate, seriously?

Scott Parker? He's still very young.

Yes. Sooner or later, an English manager will be given the keys to a club with a roster even an English manager can't screw up.

It's very hard to see that happening in the next five years, though. I would argue that Southgate remains your manager primarily because you don't have anyone obviously better waiting in the wings, and that is saying something.

I would love to see an Englishman be in charge of a team that wins the league - apart from the rs though. Its the likes of the owners though, like them across the park, who have redued the chance of this happening, they want big names who make them money. Sometimes, I wish the scab six had gone, imo football would be better without them.
Regarding Southgate, sometimes its 'horses for courses', I think he suits international football and has done a very good job with England.
