Is there much wrong with what was said here?

Possibly he was not supposed to give their hiring strategy away? Especially as excluding candidates on the basis of nationality is both weird and probably not very clever.

 

[Grays_1890]

Said firmly with tongue in cheek.

Half their team are English anyway ha

 

[Baleforce]

Yes, he argues that "passion" is a relevant metric, which shows an obvious misunderstanding of professional sport.

As an Englishman, for him to say definitely not English, well thats normally my hiring policy too.

 

[glasgowspur]

Maybe because he' looked at available English managers and thought none of are good enough?
Not having a dig at English managers btw, but surely after how many weeks they've ruled out some people.

 

[Lemonade Money]

Nothing wrong with that whatsoever. FA should probably take the same stance.

 

[Danishfurniturelover]

The whole fcuking sheep thing is probably putting off some of those foreign managers.

 

[a spur from swansea]

Well he is going by the track record of the last few Englishmen that have been in charge of England.

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

Well he is going by the track record of the last few Englishmen that have been in charge of England.

Like Southgate?

I hope they appoint Giggs, i’d Love it! He’d be an absolute disaster.

 

[nayimfromthehalfwayline]

It might shut him up as well, once he gets bombed out of there he surely couldnt have the front to demand every job that comes up like he does now...

Agree.

 

[Gazza]

Agree.

Should be the rule. May as well get players from different countries as well
