I am British , I confess I am bigoted against the current crop of British managers. Sadly I think our British coaches are of far lower quality than British players.
but sure if there was a modern day clough or Ferguson i woudl be all over it. I just dont see such a figure right now. If we had to have a british manager then dean Smith is the best candidate. As middling/ decent as Howe / Dyche but knows the club and players. I think Deano would be a step backwards mind.
