Tottenham boss predicts a league of foreign owners and foreign managers

Harry Redknapp believes the Premier League will eventually be all foreign owned with no place for young English managers. The Tottenham boss said: "Six or seven bad results and you're coming under pressure. The younger managers don't get the opportunity.

"Soon as you have a bad spell they're out of work. We've got so many talented young managers and coaches in this country and they have to be given the opportunity but it's not fashionable.

"It's getting more difficult for the younger lads in this country to work their way up the ladder.

"Ten years at Bournemouth was great grounding for me. There are lads in the lower divisions here who have got great talent but probably won't get that opportunity because they are not fashionable names.

"These owners would rather bring some fashionable name from abroad, Spain or Italy, and give them a chance.

"It will hinder the chances of the lads in this country. There's nothing like learning your trade lower down."
