I misinterpreted buncranaboy's post above as a reference to who else other than Kenny Dalglish. I guess without the relevant passage being quoted, I assumed that the response was to the last thing I said (as would be the case in a conversation). Just one of those things.
Who else other than Bobby Robson, Sven Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello to win titles in countries other than England?
When I referred to those three in my last post, I was just giving examples off the top of my head. The purpose of the post was actually to correct my earlier post which referred to Alf Ramsey, Joe Mercer and Don Revie being the only England managers to have won titles, without specifying "in England".
When I first read Dr Love's post, I got a bit confused. 
So now we have a more comprehensive list:
- Titles in England - Alf Ramsey, Joe Mercer and Don Revie
- Titles in other countries - Bobby Robson, Sven Goran Eriksson, Fabio Capello, Steve McClaren, Terry Venables (and maybe Don Revie).
I'm surprised I overlooked McClaren though. Just one of those things.
I think for an England manager, title success in England is far more valuable that title success in other European countries, even in Spain, Italy, Germany or France. It's about being able to get the best out of English players (even if nowadays, the leading clubs in England have a lot of non-British players). I know Don Revie won English titles with Leeds United, but then, you can't overlook other criteria, such as character.
