Look at the number of Italian players in the Serie A. Then look at the number of English players in the EPL.
I think there are more talented Italians and they play a lot more games to get better over the years.

Why couldn't they have kept him longer

Stuart Pearce ? I dont think he'll leave the cushy Under 21 England job tbh

you are kidding me. Wigan are expecting miracles. Another job opening for Coleman..

He's Italian so he'll probably have them grinding out results and being terrible to watch. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Already said he wants us to play better football. Not a fan of the hoof long iirc. Time will tell I guess. Besides, we already play awful football most of the time, so it can't get any worse. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Was i correct in reading he's going to get a hefty transfer budget as well? </BLOCKQUOTE>

Alledgedly yes. With Flavio et al we have some to spend. Signed Leigertwood on deadline day for best part of a mil, which is probably the most we've spent on a player for best part of a decade. Rumours are we'll have £5m+ to spend in january, but a fair bit of that will be spent on turning Buzcacky (sp?) and Vine's loans permanent. I hope.

Take Bryan Robson, Wigan. I'll even drive him across myself!

Amended for English..

I don't think even Wigan are that stupid.

Could be time for the re-emergence of the Wilko/Cotteril dream team.

quite harsh tbh, 3 of the recent losses have been to united, chelsea and Liverpool
