Most of the managers have been English, Sven-Goran Erikssen started the trend of foreign managers. Yes managers do get slated by the press for failing, but the England job is an extreme as far as being slated goes. Any England manager has huge expectations heaped upon him and usually an average bunch of players, along with a media just dying to see him fail. For example, Boas was just sacked from Chelsea and had one of the best squads in the Premiership and the media actually felt sorry for him!
