Thomas Tuchel | England Manager

[Bluesince1979]

It’s not that strange to want the England team coach to be English. Most countries in the world have managers from within.

We’ve also invested millions on St George’s park and English coaches.

Tuchel could end up being great btw, but im not convinced.

Who would you have ?
Potter and howe are the only ones that spring to mind and neither would be any good

Can't help wondering how this is going down in Germany itself. Any of our resident blues on here who live in Deutschland able to enlighten me? Any discussion of it on the sports pages or telly/radio?

We had an English manager, got us to finals. How is this better than Southgate getting England to finals?

The only winners out of this are the sports news media, they get a whole new cycle of bad news to sell off the back of Tuchel. He'll get crucified, with a little bit of anti german racism thrown in for good measure. I suppose thats better than boring finals football LOl

I imagine the idea is to win the final.

Yeah I saw how we got to the final. I find it more exciting getting to finals tbh.

Lol it's just so obvious they're desperate for him to leave City and give some of their beloved red top teams a chance of winning a league title, but remember he's an overrated chequebook manager.

Beethoven had more tone recognition on his deathbed. And, by the looks of it, possibly a healthier liver.

Yes people did, the general idea with internationals is one countries best against another. As the manager is very important to any team even the most important then i would suggest the view he/she should be English isnt exactly weird especially as most of the big international teams do just that.

We are acting like a newly developing international team thar hasn't any fucking coaches of its own.

We haven't got any top class managers or coaches have we?

The last English manager to win the top flight was Howard Wilkinson in 1992, the last manager to win a trophy in England was Harry Redknapp with Portsmouth in 2008.

The last manager to win a trophy overseas was Graham Potter, who choked under the pressure at Chelsea. Not sure he'd be any better for England than the bloke he succeeded at Chelsea.

Sam Wallace explains that he doesn't know his are from his elbow - stealing a fucking living.

I can't recall how teams play under him, so what style of football can we expect? Surely it has to be more exciting than what Southgate served up?
And we don't go into tournaments looking like 11 players thrown together for the first time and hope for the best.

I might be totally wrong but it feels like when some countries start tournaments they know their best 11 and have a system in place already, whereas with England it's all over the place, but yet somehow we scrape through to the final, probably down to the easier route too.

And I think we all can recognise that just because some players do well or are on form at club level doesn't mean they'll play well for England. So will he be able to find the right mix and bring some kind of "identity" to our World Cup team, where we can think we're going into it more settled, positive and actually feel like we've got a decent team ready to have a good crack at it, because to me it never feels like this. But then I don't know if I'm being quite naive to international football and it's just not that straight forward due to numerous factors.

I’m surprised at the reaction to appointing a manager from outside England, especially as much of the rancour is coming from ex-players and journalists.

Presumably Carragher, Neville, Wallace etc. only wanted Eddie Howe then. Or stayed with Southgate.

They’d all have creamed themselves if Pep had agreed to it.

Pretty much. Though I think many hoped it would be him so they can kneecap us, not help Englands chances.
