English football needs to stop being snobby about Mourinho and Wenger types, intelligent tacticians who may have degrees who never played that well in youth. A EPL ex pro may not be the answer.
England need to stop being snobby?

In the past 15 years we've had a Swede and Italian bringing their continental tactics to our national team, they both had the so called Golden generation of players at their disposal, they got knocked out of tournaments with their tails between their legs.

The best England sides in my lifetime where they played the best football, were at Italia 90 where we had an Englishman who had passion for his country and a great motivator as manager.

And Euro 96 when we had a Englishman who had a passion for his country and a great motivator.

Now the evidence doesn't lie.

That's our trouble, we heap praise on other nations and think their way is best, at the same time we just put our own great country down.
