text: who is happy about an english man being englands manger? ive heard so many stories about who should be the next man in charge, alot of them saying it should be an english man, who is with me on this one and why? ive seen alot of mangers in my time and sven has done a good job, well if you take into consideration the others, so who cares and who doesn't if he's english the english will naturally follow an english manager more than they would a foreigner and would likely be less inclined to start criticizing if things go afoul. however, i don't think mcclaren is that strong of a candidate for the job and there are several foreign managers would've been better qualified.
