Slim pickings at the moment with only Alan Pardew (Saudi Sportswashing Machine), Harry Redknapp (QPR), Brian McDermott (Reading), Nigel Adkins (Southampton) & Sam Allardyce (West Ham) as the only English Premier League managers.
 
Personally I feel it is far too long since a Portuguese manager won the FA Cup. This needs to be rectified before any English managers get a turn.

When was the last time a club with striped shirts won the English Top Flight League Championship?
 
A long time unless clubs wore an unusual strip one year. I can't think of any post war so probably Sunderland sometime in the 30s.

How many of the 22 clubs who formed the 1920-21 Third Division went on to play in the Top Flight?
 
That was the top division of the Southern League (plus, I think Grimsby) and the move that made the Football League truly national. So I'd expect a good proportion of the teams to make the top tier at some time. I'll go for 15. I'd also guess that only a few of the northern clubs that made up the Third Division North the following year made the top tier (5-6).
