Maestro Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 In this day and age, and the sheer amount of managers we have gone through in recent times, I'm still surprised we have never had a foreign manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true. Billy Davies came from oompa loompa land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby is a multi-cultural city - look around you at matches, even if the supporters are not an exact match of the actual proportions who live here. We do support Derby cos we come from Derby, but that doesn't mean the players have to come from Derby or the UK. Stimac, Eranio, Baiano, Wanchope, Kinkladze, Idiakez and quite a few more - would we not have wanted these players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The English game is awash with money compared to other nations. Therefore we can afford to pay foreign players more than their home countries can. So, for the same money you can get a foreign international or an unproven Englishman, managers haven't got the time to waste on developing the Englishman. I would think that even our championship now has fewer home grown players than other countries top division have. This is not great for the development of the national team.

Nope ... there will be many in Derby who do not yet have UK citizenship, and the British people from ethnic minorities will have plenty of relatives who are non-British. Will they enjoy the " no foreigners please" ? And what about the Polish and other EU migrants who are not British? How do you think Josefzoon would react on reading the original post?

RamLad1884 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Thank goodness we have all British posters on this forum, god forbid if a foreign poster came on here, with their knowledge and experience of other cultures and football leagues. See, it sounds daft if you put it in the context of the forum, why apply it to a football club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have UK citizenship but they're from Derby? I'm confused. I'd hope Josefzoon would react in a similar way to the way I'd react if I played in the, I dunno, the J-league or something.
