Donny, Gills, Rotherham, Port Vale - I maybe wrong and no research was done for this post. The point I was trying to make was that they all got promoted this season (except Fergie of course).

If that's your list of British managers then yes.

Dickov was actually appointed post promotion. Not that this counters the point of your post. Interesting point. Although a Dane and a Spaniard managed teams to the two domestic trophies this season.

Considering only approx 15% of the 92 clubs finished with foreign managers its not really that surprising is it?

And as said above, 2 of the major trophies were still won by foreigners anyway so I'm not quite sure what point you're making.
