The end of Jonny Foreigner? 09:28 - Dec 9 with 2685 viewsWronga

Am just thinking about whether Riga will have put both Lee Clark and Karl Oyston off bringing in foreign players in the future. We've always had some problems - Grandin to name but one - but I think this recent experience will dissuade both manager and Chairman in the future. Is that such a bad thing for a club like Blackpool. Fine for the Watford's of this world who are 10 mins from the bright lights of London but when our lights only come on for 2 months of the year is it best to buy British?

Poll: Graham Westley or Neil McDonald

I think if Cubero starts playing to his potential, we sign him for another year and KO gets offered a big fat fee to sell him in May then that might be a determining factor.

That said, Lee Clark does seem the sort who would vote UKIP

Poll: Would you play Nile Ranger from the start against Reading?

I don't think the last line is a nice thing to say about anyone.

The reason LC isn't over keen on 'Jonny Foreigner' types at BFC is that "they are not up for the fight". Those words came straight from Lee's mouth when I asked him about the twins prior to the Bolton game. He also used the words "too lightweight" when referring to the twins.

Our conversation went on a while and I gathered he wasn't really interested in anybody who had never experienced Championship football or hadn't been involved in a typically English bottom of the table scrap for survival. He is after battlers and people who understand the English game and what it means to most supporters.......... and 'Jonny Foreigner' (or the majority of ones our club has) does not fit in that category.

Foreign managers in the Championship haven't achieved many promotions. The style of foreign players is more technically refined but perhaps less effective when scrapping for points is the order of the day.

Our club should never consider a foreign coach again until possibly our third Champions League Cup appearance. I,m not biased but I could offer our National team as a prime example. of Jonnys who c"cked it up. I think Lee will be good for our club long term. We may have to swallow this season.

Well this Legear chap hasn't lasted long and the list of Clark knock backs all have a European feel to them - don't wish to appear Xenophobic but it's the right way forward.

Poll: Do you think Riga will still be in charge next Saturday?

Shame he didn't live up to his billing. It goes to show even though a player recently had Champions League experience, it doesn't necessarily make him a world beater at this level a year or too later. Mind you, Kirk Broadfoot already showed us that!

Rentmeister was far superior to O'Dea, when actually given a game at centre half and I would love to see Legear play, just to compare him to Eagles, who in my opinion still has a lot to prove!
