I am not sure if we had many (any??) UK coaches successfully working with A-League clubs.  There is a good batch of German, Dutch and Spanish coaches apart from the home-grown guys.  But not all tasted lasting success, 

I hope someone competent like Big Pete 65 could make us a table of A-League premiers and champions and list their winning coaches at the time.  This might be useful, especially if compared with the overall ratio of locally trained (not "locally born") coaches at the helm of HAL clubs.   For example, despite being Scottish born- and -bred, Merrick is an Australian coach in my books (his coaching development was done chiefly at AIS as I recall).  I think it would show guys like Ernie, Arnie and Ange sharing a few of the titles over the last decade.
