Short, sharp: it’s YATS Friday Fan Mail, and we’re grappling with the concept of a German England manager 
Nope, don’t get your hopes up, this isn’t going to be a rant. YATS are many things but we’re not xenophobes. A typical YATS breakfast includes Swiss muesli, Danish pastries, Colombian coffee, French wine and Turkish cigarettes. Say what you like about the YATS cookbook, but it is certainly cosmopolitan 
And yet… the stats don’t lie. Every team that has ever won the World Cup has done so with a native coach. Many great teams have tried, Belgium, England, Ireland… but to no avail. So what is the FA playing at? We’ve got 2 years until the world goes football bonkers yet again and now is not the time for shilly-shallying about with new-fangled ideas 
And yet, and yet… The only time it did work was when Greece won the Euros in 2004, against all the odds, and with a foreign coach who was… but of course, a German 
The real question is, when we inevitably do win, how much of the star on the shirt does Germany get to keep? 
Happy weekend to you! And remember: You Are The Star
