[in 2018] English football over the last 20 years has taken a bit of a battering in respect of coaching standards and the success of the national team. We've actually lost faith in ourselves. The top managers in the Premier League, none of them are English. You would never get, I think, an English coach being appointed at a top club anymore. I can't think of a situation where it will occur in the near future either. Same with players, we now only have 30 per cent of our Premier League, I think it's 32 per cent, is now from English football. 20, 30 years ago, you think of Bobby Robson, Terry Venables, these were managing Barcelona, not just the top clubs in England, they were managing the top clubs in Europe.
