Britton: "It was a difficult time for him. I think he'd come to a team that was lacking in confidence. Obviously it was a big chance and a big moment for him and unfortunately, it didn't work out. But I thought he worked very hard. He gave everything to the job. He didn't try to (overdo it), but he was so determined to do well and the players were behind him. I think the difficult thing is, being an American manager and coming to the Premier League, he was already on... (pauses) ...not the 'back foot,' but he needed to hit the ground running and that was difficult coming into a team that was lacking confidence. But, for me personally, he was a good guy and he was good to work for. I'm just disappointed that it didn't work out for him."

Thread | Foreigners are killing British football, but not with their choice of words

"This past Saturday, first-place Chelsea put out a starting eleven that featured 10 foreigners and one Englishman. Second-place Manchester City also put out 10 foreign starters. Arsenal countered with two British-born footballers and brought a third off the bench. Tottenham is the only top-seven team that consistently fields a starting eleven with a native majority, and they're coached by an Argentinian, so go figure.
This all makes for some fantastic quality on the field, but what happens to the domestic player?
He loses to Iceland at the Euros, that's what happens."
