  1. Idk. But if you give an English manager a team that has talent and a very good transfer budget, will they win?

    Just FYI saying English managers aren’t very good – the best PL manager of the current decade, Pep Guardiola, learned his trade under one of the greatest – Bobby Robson. The greatest PL manager of the previous decade, Jose Mourinho, also learned his trade under Bobby Robson.

    No idea why the previous couple of generations of English players didn’t develop into any decent managers, but I’d say the amount of money that players have earned in the PL era probably takes away any financial incentive to work hard at training to be a great manager. I never watched the golden generation of England – Terry, Ferdinand, Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes, Beckham, Rooney – and thought, yeah, that lads probably got what it takes to be a top level manager some day.
