According to yesterday's Daily Telegraph there is only one foreign manager in League Division 2 - Paul Tisdale!!
As it appears you have to have a foreign manager nowadays to be successful at the highest levels, the future for City is bright!

I think he is secretly French. That would explain why Bertie is always in the team.

Would Cozic be the only foreign player in the team? Also seems weird that all the managers are from england in league 2.....at least it home grown talent on the sidelines.

Certainly not all English - I can think of 2 from Norn Iron off the top of my head - but all British (apart from our Maltese Falcon) I guess!

Why was he was born in Malta? (Not the birds and the bees stuff - I am aware that Mr and Mrs Tisdale loved each other very much, one day a magic pixie visited etc).

Was his dad in the army over there or something?

Has he got a Maltese passport?We were all thinking when he leaves City he would go to a Championship side but what are the odds on him managing in international football?

Yep, we struggled to beat them last time out. Richard Wright (I think) saved 2 penalties. 'Twas a warm-up match before a major tournament (Euro 2000?).
