Has anyone else noticed that over time we swing from
"we need a foreign perspective with technical ability to take us to the next level"
to
"We need a British manager with steel and backbone to steady the ship"
We're not the only club who does it, but the pattern is repetitive and everyone falls into the same trap of having those ever changing demands.
This "Safe bet with a British manager to give us stability" nonsense is really irritating and it sounds borderline moronic. What makes anyone think that a British manager will be less likely to perform poorly and be on thin ice after 6 months than anyone else? It's just stupid.
The candidate should be hired because of his proven ability and experience at a decent level, regardless of where he is from.
