Or next manager should be a Londoner 12:29 - Oct 4 with 3269 views

Most of our managers, and all our shlt ones, have been from North of the Tees-Exe line or from Ireland.

We have however had two managers from London, Sir Alf and John Lyall, both of whom did us well. Things only went downhill under Lyall when he handed the ropes over to a northerner.

Ergo, next time we need a Londoner.

I am honestly surprised that ME didn't cotton on to this when looking for a manager last time.

Sir Bobby was from the North East.
Our best manager since Sir Bobby was from Cumnock, Ayrshire.
Our best manager of the past 15 years was from Yorkshire.

Apart from that, yes, all of our best managers have been from London.

Dagenham isn't really in London. And it certainly wasn't when Sir Alf was born.

No No No. You are missing the point. At no point did I say that our northern and Irish managers were all sh1t, only that all our sh1t managers have been from the north or Ireland.

London however, for the benefit of Facters - what is now Greater London, has a 100% strike rate for good managers.

Whilst that might be a decent shout for PH's replacement, he's not actually a Londoner, though he hung around there for a long time.

Nope, he's a Hertfordshire boy. He may have been born within the M25 but not in a London Borough (No! Facters! Back down! You know I mean current London Boroughs).

Even in your London surely Dagenham isn't in it?

Dagenham is and always will be Essex.

I suppose I just about recognise Stratford as London.

Stansted, Southend, Luton, Gatwick.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

I am going to out on a limb here and throw in a wild claim for Romford too.

When Romford falls, all bets are off.
