Keys seems to view the appointment as an end of days scenario, seeing it as the final nail in the coffin for British coaches, and maybe even Britain itself.
The beIN Sports presenter tweeted a screenshot of an article about Puel's appointment and simply wrote "RIP British coaching."

Keys appears to view the sacking of an English manager and subsequent appointment of a Frenchman as a watershed moment for Proper Football Men everywhere. He's probably wondering why they didn't give it Giggsy 'till the end of the season? Or asking why Leicester didn't appoint Tim Sherwood. He may have contributed to Swindon Town getting relegated from League One, but Tim is a young British manager, he knows the game, he would've went in there and got them organised. What about Ron Atkinson, is he still around?
The former Sky Sports presenter evidently has an issue with "foreign" coaches in the Premier League, but, otherwise, he has no issues with migrant workers. He and his colleague Andy Gray are British but live and work in Qatar, a country in the Middle-East which is using migrant workers to build stadiums for the 2022 World Cup. These indentured labourers live in abhorrent conditions and hundreds die every year working on construction sites. They are effectively slaves.
No, Keys is fine with that.

Migrant workers in other fields, and modern slavery, is okay.
But when a club in a league where two-thirds of the players aren't from Britain - a club owned by a Thai businessman - appoints a non-British manager, this is a truly awful thing for Keys.
