Yeah it was. Ferguson, Wenger, Mourinho, Benitez and then Most of the rest were English managers still on the Charles Reep bandwagon.
Lots of British managers at that time - Alan Pardew, Big Sam, Moyes, MaCarthy, Curbishley, Southgate, Coleman, Harry Rednapp, Hoddle, Phil Brown
Most of them in the bottom 5/6.
