By the way, this has cropped up during a week when 3 League clubs have just (re-)hired foreign coaches/managers.

Brentford: Marinus Dijkhuizen (Netherlands)
Sunderland: Dick Advocaat (Netherlands)
Watford: Quique Sanchez Flores (Spain)

Perhaps we should be more concerned about the lack of opportunities for any English coach/manager, rather than worrying about the colour of the candidate's skin?

At least Derby have brought back Paul Clement from Europe. There really can't be many (any?) English Managers working at top Continental clubs nowadays.

Poor old Roy Hodgson can't go on forever.
The Brentford situation was a disgrace. They had a young hungry, English coach who worked a miracle on a tiny budget and they have told him because he won't adhere to a European management model he's no longer required. Wrong on every level and then to bring in a foreign coach. Disgusting.
