With exception of Brendan Rogers at Liverpool it's getting tougher for British/ Irish managers to break into top tier football management, even the championship has foreign managers and coaches. No Brits in frame full time post Moyes at Man U for next season.

Don't get me wrong Mourinho, Martinez, Wenger, Manchini, Rafa Benitez have been superb in EPL but in these post Sir Alex times things are looking tough, even for Scots managers who used to excel. Without Champions League experience it's impossible for Brit managers to go to top clubs abroad like Roy Hodgkinson, Sir Bobby Moore and Terry Venables.

OLE Gunnar Solskjaer can walk into a Premier League role from a average club (top Norway side Molde are hardly even on par with a mid table EPL, or La Liga side) yet could even Adam Lambert or even Brendan Rogers go to a decent European club? Not all foreigners are great, see AVB. IT feels like foreigners are being hired because they are more fashionable and seen as exciting and "sexier" in football terms

Tony Pulis or Steve Bruce won't grow to potential but are no worse than AVB. They would be managing bigger clubs had they been from Argentina or Spain. Gus Poyet was sacked live on TV by championship Brighton, but still walked into a EPL side.

Bobby Moore schooled Mourinho now the Mourinhos school the Brendan Rodgers. Britain used to have so so players but we used to have fantastic managers, well Scots managers. We go on and on about Brendan Rogers but it's really just him and too a lesser extent Neil Lennon.. Where's it gone wrong for Brit managers? Where will the next Sir Bobbys, Bill Shankleys, Sir Alex's, Cloughies come from?
