Should the next England Mnger be Glaswegian

2 December 2011

Weird thing looking at the League Cup Semi-finalists; THREE of the four teams have Scottish managers - our own Kenny, Malky McKay and Dougie Freedman (and one Italian).

Of the Quarter-finals FIVE of the eight were Scottish - inc. Fergie and Steve Kean (with a Frenchman and Portuguese manager).

This in a week where the first Premier manager is sacked - an Englishman.

With Black in charge of Sunderland temporarily, that's 7 of the 20 Prem teams being run by Scots (but only 4 English managers)?…

And of those 9 Scots, all of them were born in or around Glasgow?

Maybe a part of the Glaswegian psyche - ie they take no nonsense and go radge at the drop of a hat, but that's too many to be a mere coincidence?…

Glasgow's my second favourite city. Our kid lived there for a few years. I remember going there and coming back but the bit inbetween was generally a blur.

My liver disagreed at the time, but yes a brilliant city.

I've got Kean, Kenny, Fergie, Moyes, Lambert, McLeish and (temporarily) Black...
