To coach top flight football in the UK, you must have been a player at the club (Coleman), been a great player (Keane), or have proved yourself elsewhere (Mourinho, O'Neill, Benitez), or have brought your club up (Allardyce...).
No Asian coach fits any of these criteria.
Worse, the Asian football powerhouses are mostly coached by non-Asians (Zico for Japan, Veerbek for South Korea, Paqueta for Saudi Arabia...). Therefore even if one of these countries causes a splash on the international scene, this will not help an Asian coach in the top flight.
Finally, Asia is a bit behind in terms of sports nutrition, and coaching methods. The FIFA organised coaching clinics are great, but unless an Asian decides to make coaching football his/her career, take the papers required and start from lower leagues, it is difficult to imagine an Asian coach in the UK top flight.

Why should there be the asian coaches should be coaching asian teams like English should be coaching english teams
Sam Allardyce, Alan Pardew, Paul Jewell, Glenn Roeder, Iain Dowie, Stuart Pearce, Gareth Southgate, Harry Redknapp, Aidy Boothroyd, Steve Coppell and Steve Warnock thats only 11 English Managers in the English Premiership.
I suppose that British is acceptable
Martin O'Neill, Mark Hughes, David Moyes, Chris Coleman and Alex Ferguson
that makes it up to 16 managers which is ok but the other 4 are by far the most annoying.
Jose Mourinho needs no explanation, Arsene Wenger acts so slick, Rafael Benetez cant accept defeat and Martin Jol is just too cocky.

There are no asian managers in top flight football in England, but this is also the case in France,Spain and Italy.Asians are more interested in Cricket than they are in football,with cricket the most popular sport in Pakistan and India.As time passes there will be asian players in the football league and eventually asian managers but it will be a very long time yet.

Agree with ekonomix on this point.
Asian countries are behind its European counterparts in coaching methodology.
Most simply do not have the necessary credentials to land a coaching job in the UK, let alone one with a top club.

The answer's Arsernal, but they bought there way in. Everton hold the record for the most total years spent in the top flight. They were founder members and have suffered relegation on only 2 occassions, 1929/30 (promoted next season) and 1950/51(promoted in 1954).

I suspect that they are not very good at the job, or perhaps the whole system of coasching and football is the biggest "jobs for the boys" network there is,

Because there have been very few Asian players.
