‘Graham Potter and Frank Lampard failing would be an English disaster’
Yes. And? The Premier League is a global brand and attracts some of the best football managers in the world. Why does it matter if zero, three, seven or eight Premier League managers are English? Sean Dyche is the current favourite for the Everton job if Lampard is sacked, while Scott Parker was absolutely right to believe he would not get another Premier League post after failing at Fulham and Bournemouth. And both Heckingbottom and Carrick could be English managers in the Premier League next season.
‘Howe has taken Newcastle into the top six but Potter was the first Englishman to be appointed by a more established ‘elite’ club since Lampard at Chelsea, under special circumstances in 2019.’‘Before that it was Roy Hodgson at Liverpool in 2010, where he lasted just six months, and Harry Redknapp at Tottenham Hotspur in 2008 when they were still trying to break into that bracket. Tim Sherwood lasted five months at Tottenham before he was sacked in May 2014.
So again, why should we care? Well, partly it seems because, well, ‘what would have happened had Gareth Southgate gone through with what he was considering and quit as England manager after the World Cup?’
