Gold wants Englishman for England
West Ham chairman David Gold "would love to see the law changed" to stop the Football Association from hiring another foreign England manager.[LNB] Gold disagreed with the appointments of Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello and believes a manager should only be eligible to represent his own country.[LNB]"I want to see an England manager. I would love to see the law changed. I think the law ought to be that all managers throughout the world have to meet the same criteria the players meet," Gold told TalkSport.[LNB]"Then you would have an English manager. Most countries choose a manager from their own country. We seem to be bucking the trend all the time.[LNB]"It has caused us more grief. Every time we do it there is a furore. We are almost prostituting ourselves when we bring in a manager from another country."[LNB]The FA, who replaced Eriksson with Steve McLaren in 2006, have confirmed they will look to appoint an Englishman when Capello leaves the job after the 2012 European Championships.[LNB]Harry Redknapp, Steve Bruce and Sam Allardyce have already confirmed they would be interested in taking the job.
