Title: lower league foreign managers Post by: Arriba on Friday, November 3, 2006, 14:24:33 should we risk taking a foreign manager at english basement football level?
if gradi is foreign he is the only decent one on here so far.ossie doesn't count for me as we we were knocking on the door of the top flight when he came here and i wouldn't class that as lower league Title: lower league foreign managers Post by: Piemonte on Friday, November 3, 2006, 14:28:02 Yes. He may be foreign but he has played here and his playing style was very english.
Contacts may be an issue to start with but we dont need loads of players right now.

Italian but he's as English as sausage rolls, I was getting stuck for a name :o Gudjon Thordarson took stoke up from today's League One to the Championship. Title: lower league foreign managers Post by: sonic youth on Friday, November 3, 2006, 16:32:18 i think the ratio of foreign managers to british managers in the lower leagues is probably so vast that it's fairly likely that the majority of foreign managers will have failed, as so many managers do.

Title: lower league foreign managers Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Friday, November 3, 2006, 19:37:18 Jan Molby was crap at Swansea, then he was good at Kidderminster then he was crap at Hull and he was still crap when he went back to Kidderminster.
