So lets turn it around. How many good English, Scottish and so on managers have it been??
If you compare the amount that live in Norway compared to you iceland. Id say that the numbers doing really good isent exactly high.

I have followed English football since i were a kid and for most of the years its the same names just different clubs.

Ståle Solbakken is very talented. He has done really well when he has been allowed to build teams.
His biggest mistake was to go to Køln were they sack managers more often than no other club do. They expect top half with players who belong in the bottom.

In wolves he was promised to get time to build a team and change how they played. He inheritated a team with looser mentality and players who couldent understand any other way of playing than the classic English way. Not specially modern football and in the end you dont survive often in the premier league with that kinda play. So no he dident do a bad job he had bad luck with a lot of injurys and he had to use mainly the players that was there when he arrived and they just couldent fix their mentality. I bet wolves would survived if they had not kicked him away. ! more window and that team would been much better. After all Dean Saunders a true Uk type manager really did well after he took his place.

Egil Olsen is a national manager and nothing else. Should never tried to train a club he ruined my hometown club also the year he was here.

Henning Berg common we are talking Blackburn here with the same kinda owner as you guys got :)

Ole is a good manager but what i beliv is hes strongest side of them all is to be a good human and that makes his players work hard to win for him.


How many good English or Scottish managers have there been? Are you for real?

Typical stereotypical disgraceful comment by PremierJacks.

You're stating that because fellow Norwegians have failed at management in England that he is likely to do so as well. That is what you're getting at. You're judging him based on nationality.

That makes you a xenophobe.

OP should be banned for making such an ignorant comment. I shall be reporting you anyway. Good day!

Where do I say that fellow Norwegians have failed? Where do I say that OGS is likely to fail as well?
I've merely listed three Norwegian managers who have managed in UK. You've made the link all by yourself
By the way, a xenophobe is someone with an irrational fear of foreigners, where do I make any reference to that?

Its what you were getting at. I've been told to leave it and lighten up anyway so that's what I'll do.

Solskjaer is a foreigner and every Swansea City fan clearly has an irrational fear of him because he's going to deliver us the double. Brace yourselves, Ole is coming!
