Richard Keys has been talking after a big weekend of Premier League action.
The matches included Newcastle United hammering Leicester City 4-0.
As well as that action on the pitch across the various matches, there has also been plenty of activity off it.
Wolves sacking Gary O’Neil on Sunday morning.
Then only hours later, Southampton doing the same to Russell Martin.
Richard Keys wanting to talk about how few British managers there are in the Premier League, having lost those two to make the situation even more stark.
Richard Keys via his personal blog – 16 December 2024:
“I hope both O’Neil and Martin find their way back into the game.
“With Steve Cooper sacked earlier in the season were three British coaches down now.
“We’ve only got Eddie Howe, Sean Dyche and Kieran McKenna left.
“I don’t expect Dyche to start next season at Everton.
“The chances are Howe won’t be at Newcastle either and you’d be brave to suggest Ipswich will stay up.”
