"Two of the traits we believe are of crucial importance are that candidates have experience of managing in the Premier League and a strategy for building on the existing strengths in our current squad"
It is if you take the above sentance from the statement as accurate. Above all I think the club are looking for the right man. If they find that right man in a foreign manager I don't see any reason why he wont be appointed.
As long as said man has "experience of managing in the Premier League" it wont matter where there from they will be considered. If not they wont be, simples!! The statement didn't say that. The General didn't say that either.
I've pasted the relevant bit of the statement again as you missed it the first time.
Here you go

Black and white for you Yeah, I saw it the first time. To me it looks as if Premier League experience is important but not the be all and end all. Do you really think Randy and the board wouldn't appoint someone they thought to be the right man just because he didn't have PL experience?
Hey im going with the black and white, not my interpretation of it. It clearly says what it says, why should I not believe it? If it's not true, why put it???
My own view is that whoever they feel is right, will get the job and regardless of whether I like them or not, I will support them, like a player.
Shall we stop with the multi quotes now? neither of us really know haha!! :-)
