Gone foreign

[Putney Blade]

Foreign owner. Foreigners on the Board. Now foreign manager & presumably coaching staff & players. Hope our owner is wise enough to bring in some Sheffield connection to ensure there is link between Club & fans. This link was so strong & important during Wilder era.

Give over

 

[borg elite]

Bloody foreigners. Egg and chips anyone?

 

[S64 Blade]

Who do they think they are? Coming over here, spending money on the football club, introducing new styles of play and formations to win promotion. It's a bloody disgrace!

Warning!

Potential Vital breach! Repeat, potential Vital breach!

Foreign players and managers never work in English football. They just don't understand the culture

Yep, but the quote was about players and managers not working due to culture, not money.

Liverpool also struggled the previous season.

When did a non foreign owned club last win anything?

Is there a big Serbian community there or something

 

[WF10BLADE]

I'm not going back to the lane until we appoint someone who has been a ball boy at the Lane manages us or someone who was on the training ground when there was dog shit everywhere.

I didn't say anything about owners actually.

So apart from Man City this year and Liverpool last year can you name any club managed by a foreigner or with lots of foreign players that's done anything in English football. I'm telling you mate, they just don't get it, and by get it I mean the pashon.

Take your pick from this seasons coaching staff...

Mourinho for one.

When did an English manager last win the EPL? Think it was Howard Wilkinson at Leeds?

When did a team with predominantly British players in its starting line up last win the EPL?

 

[Davalon]

I'm uneasy.

You're never sure what you're going to get with foreign managers.

What if he keeps trying to resign as soon as things aren't going too well?

Dunno... All sound same to me dem forrinaz.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Worked ok for Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool. I don’t need a manager telling me about supping down London road with his pal ‘Wit’ to make me feel connected.

..........

Yeah, that type of behaviour could have far reaching consequences.

For those that need a reminder, this is a friendly Public Service Announcement - Not being born on John Street is fine. Not being from Sheffield is fine. Not being from England is fine. Not being from the UK is fine. Being dog shit at managing a football club is not fine.
