00:00Do you have any thoughts on how English coaches get that body of work that attracts them?
00:04You've got to get the chance first of all, and that's hard enough.
00:08If we're using the Premier League as an example, there's only 20 Premier League jobs available.
00:13We've also discussed recently about the amount of foreign ownership,
00:17so therefore that sometimes can slant their views on whether they want a foreign manager or an English manager or a British manager.
00:22And you've still got to be good, you've got to know what you're doing,
00:26you've got to be able to produce what people want.
00:29Often the perception is more important than the facts now,
00:32so you've got to be perceived to be good enough as well,
00:35not actually good enough, but just perceived to be good enough,
00:38and that's a radical change I've noticed in the game,
00:41certainly over the last ten years that I've been in the Premier League.
00:44As you mentioned, ownership, standard question week in, week out.
00:48Yeah, same as it was last week and the week before that.
00:51No contact?
00:52No, no, it's just the same as it is, and waiting for things to take place if they're going to.
