Thomas Tuchel | England Manager

[KentBlue]

I think if we're all being truthful his appointment doesn't sit well with any of us natives. But we can do nothing about it: these decisions are made without the fans having a say, so we just have to hope that he will deliver a trophy on our behalf and accept the stick that will inevitably come our way.

I’m a native and truly unarsed that he isn’t a native.

I’ll judge him on results and style of play, not how he belts out the national anthem nor if he wears a poppy.

And by natives you mean thousands of angry proto-Tuchels who started coming in across the English Channel from the 5th century on.
Hello darkness my old friend....

And here is in a nutshell everything that's wrong with "the English managers", he didn't realise what he was saying. Go on guv...

As long as he wears a waistcoat I knew you’d be happy. Frankly after having to miss premier league and championship games on a regular basis for this ridiculous nations league, international football can fuck right off

What Premier League games did you miss because of the Nations League? I hadn't realised City had played.

Don't get all the fuss. We'll still be the same old England no matter who manages us.

Well 'Arry currently Eddie Howe, Keiran McKenna, Steve Cooper, Sean Dyche, Gary O'Neil & Russell Martin are the six British managers in the PL, all born in England except Cooper who is Welsh. So not 'two or three'.

Just enjoying the various meltdowns from all the patriots.
Times change. Who’d of thunk it.
Our national league is full from top to bottom with clubs owned, managed and played by overseas personnel. Why on earth people should be shocked at an overseas manager of the national team seems like getting upset for getting upsets sake.
Should be a fun 18 months. :-)

Upset? No, discussion yes. Anyhow i think the word national is the relevant point. I see the manager and coaches as part of the team. Owners and managers of club sides have no relevance whatsoever.

Wrong. I don't give a shit where he's from.

It’s a view I respect but don’t go along with, mate.
I’ve read and watched a few interviews since the announcement and I stand by my post. Those things might not apply to you but you seem a fairly rational type.
Others, not so much.
