Thomas Tuchel | England Manager

[bluethrunthru]

Harry Redknapp called Talksport enraged that the job isn't going to an Englishman and even quoted Gerrard or Lampard for the job. A simple google search of Redknapp, Klopp, England job finds an article, only months old in support of Klopp for England. Why does nobody hold anybody accountable?

he is just a fucking rentagob good for a quote as long as you don't scrutinise said quote. Whatever have either won as a coach at the top level? Bugs me like when people go on about the golden era of the 70's -yes we had Worthington and Currie and other characters but couldn't qualify for a pre-season round robin tournament - Little Englishness at its prime

Are we really expecting him to make it to the world cup? He seems to fall out with a lot of clubs.

Once again the fa have shown themselves to be not fit for purpose by employing a German to run the national team, it couldn't get any worse.

Erm...a jock?

5live phone in last night was talksport-esque.
People were fooooomin’!!!!

What normal person cares one tiny bit where the england coach comes from?

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.

relevant argument - you can never trust anyone with odd sized ears

So who is the great English manager that could win on the big stage? Howe, Potter, Fat Sam, or is Howard Wilkinson still alive?
Tuchel has won loads of stuff as a top level manager and no living English manager comes anywhere near. I'd much prefer an English manager, but there isn't a good one available.
And at least it's not Klopp!!

Klopp is a million times the manager Tuchel is but I still wouldn't support it.

Did you expect Southgate to do as well as he did? International football isn't club football. Just go back and list the world cup winning managers. Were they all successful club managers? The England team should be managed by an Englishman. We're not minnows.

Do you read the Mail?

An about turn there from the News Paper that loves all things German when they were lead by an Austrian.

We just have a lack of elite coaches.
I like the Tuchel appointment
