Manchester City boss Mark Hughes believes clubs outside the big four should be appointing British managers.

Commenting on Juande Ramos' failure at Tottenham, Hughes said: "When foreign managers get the top jobs they are likely to be successful because they get the best players to work with, but when they're appointed by teams outside the top four, sometimes they are not so successful, and my view is that British managers are the better option.

"We know what we're doing, and we have experience of the Premier League. People call Harry old school, but I don't go along with that. To stay in the game as long as he has, he has had to develop with the times."
