Liverpool defender believes that England are cheating by employing foreign manager.Cheating who? I believe FA would not pay thesame wages to an English manager. The Italian persuaded Carragher to return to the international scene at last year's disastrous World Cup in South Africa, and while the 33-year-old insists his criticism is not aimed at Capello he maintains having a foreign coach is "embarrassing". He told talkSPORT: "The next manager of England should be English." Carragher added: "I've got nothing against Capello, I went to the World Cup and got to know him, but that's not what international football is. It's like saying if our keeper's not good enough, we'll go and get (Gianluigi) Buffon from Italy. "It's a form of cheating in international football and it's a bit embarrassing. "It's different for developing countries in Africa and elsewhere, who are trying to build the game up but, for England, such a big football nation, I don't think we should have a foreign manager. "Just because it didn't work out with Steve McClaren, it didn't mean we had to go for a foreign manager. We should have gone for the next best Englishman." The 33-year-old also believes the lack of opportunities English managers get at top Premier League clubs is a contributory factor. He added: "If every club had an English manager, someone would have to win the league! Someone would have to win the FA Cup! And then they'd accumulate these trophies. Capello had an aura and presence that maybe McClaren didn't have. Source:http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/06102011/58/euro-2012-qual-carragher-engla
I read Carra's article earlier and my first thoughts were hes being hypocritical. His Achievements in the game came under the management of Houlier and Rafa and his England bosses have included Erikson and Capello,and the finals hes played in have included more foreigners that British/Irish players. I can see he wants more homegrown players/managers etc but if we win the FA Cup this season and Saurez or one of our other overseas players gets the winner im sure Carra wont be complaining.
