Guest Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Why are all the media saying it was Howard Kendall winning the Cup Winners' Cup in 1985? Does Sir Bobby winning the same competition with Barcelona in 1997 not count or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest birkenheadmag Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I think they mean with a British club as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Why are all the media saying it was Howard Kendall winning the Cup Winners' Cup in 1985? Does Sir Bobby winning the same competition with Barcelona in 1997 not count or something? Cos Barcelona is in Spain Dufus. Only joking - Sir Bob not getting credit is wrong and this is part of the FA PR machine with Mclaren which will move into effect for the next 3 months....

Guest alex Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Aye, Kendall was the last English manager to win a European trophy with an English club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlufPurdi Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Sad that Robson was overlooked, but that's a sad fact for English football. We just have no good enough managers from this country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delima Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I suppose Alex Ferguson has lived in England looooooooooong enough to be considered as an English. It has nothing about race. Don't forget we had the lengthy European ban due to the Heysel tradegy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Graham Taylor won the Intertoto Cup in 2001, that's a European trophy, as did Harry Redknapp in 1999. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Not bad that even forgetting Robson, the last English manager was born in Ryton. And before McClaren ended the English jinx of no domestic trophy in over a decade, the last domestic cup winner was also a Geordie, Brian Little. blueyes.gif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
