00:00I want an Englishman to manage England, you know, I'm very patriotic.
00:03I think we should have an English manager.
00:05But but obviously the field was very small to choose from
00:09because Englishmen don't get or don't get jobs
00:13managing in the Premier League very often.
00:14Now, every all the clubs are owned by foreign owners.
00:17And when they bring a manager in, they bring a foreign manager.
00:21And as soon as there's a change, they never look below the premiership
00:25to go and bring somebody in from the championship.
00:27You know, it's always got to be a foreign manager.
00:30So it's getting the field is getting smaller and smaller.
00:32I don't know what we got, maybe three managers or maybe wrong,
00:35maybe two, maybe three managers in the Premier League or English.
00:38So the field wasn't wasn't a big field to choose from, unfortunately.
00:42But I do think that with all the effort, the money that they spend on
00:46on coaching courses and everything else, when the jobs come along,
00:50an Englishman never seems to get the big jobs.
00:52It's sad. He's lost his job quite quickly.
00:55A couple of clubs, you know, it's not like he's been a massive success there.
00:59You know, it's not like Jürgen Klopp was a Dortmund, then went to Liverpool
01:02and was a success and stayed many, many years.
01:05You know, he sort of come and gone and come and gone at a couple of clubs.
