Eddie Howe, Chris Wilder, Sean Dyche, Brendan Rodgers - all from the Uk and all better than Emery. Play more attractive football and achieve far more with what they have. They've all put in the years and I'd be delighted with any one of them as the next manager.
I want a manager from the UK.
Because these managers have no experience competing in anything but the league and maybe a cup every once in a while. And they never come close to winning either.
A team like Arsenal will be involved in at least 3 competitions throughout the season. Almost every player is an NT member so their absences need to be accounted for as well.
That involves squad rotation, match rescheduling and a ton of travel related hassle. The worst Eddie Howe has ever put up with is maybe having to sit in a bus for 8 hours traveling to Swansea or something.
Aside from Roy Hodgson in 2010, no other currently active UK manager has ever even been in a European cup final.
That's because we've fallen into the stupid notion in this country that foreign managers are better. They get the big jobs.
Alex Ferguson was better than all of them put together.
I want a UK manager. Fed up of over rated deadwood from abroad taking the top jobs in this country.
Put any of them in charge of Bournmouth and see if they do better than Howe. I doubt very much they would.
Emery certainly would not. Not only is he a shite manager, he can't string a sentence together.
Same goes for players - 3 foreigners per squad should be the cap.
British managers have to earn their way to a top job and not screw up when they get the opportunity. Managers like Hughes and Bruce keep getting jobs despite being terrible. Moyes screwed up at Utd. Hodgson and Dagliesh were no good at Liverpool. Remember Tim Sherwood?
It would actually help if more British managers went overseas to gain more experience. Take a risk if you can't get the recognition in the Prem. Everyone else seems to do it except British coaches.
There are far more foreign managers that have screwed up at big clubs in this country.
Why should British managers have to go overseas? Foreign managers come here into the top jobs without having achieved anything in British football - and often from clubs that are not even top clubs.
The fascination with foreign managers is nonsensical.
You're agrument above is pants. Eddie Howe has done a great job at Bournmouth. Why should he be behind the likes of Emery, whose only achievement is winning the Europey League and managing a team in France who had no competition? He's proven to be clueless in the PL.
We need to rid our game of foreign influence - the odd player here and there, sure. If they are truly world class. Other than that - British please.
