Seems that Thomas Tuchel is in talks with the FA for the England job, good or bad ? |  |

But so is Pep apparently. Think I'd rather see Pep there as he is probably more tactically astute as well as recorded as saying he wants to manage a national side, though would he take a massive pay cut from his £20 mill a year!! [Post edited 15 Oct 14:55]

England could probably pay 20 mill a year for Pep |  |

A massive upgrade on Southgate but a part of me just doesn’t like the fact that he’s not English. Not being small minded or racist, it’s just how I think international football should be. |  | | |

I have nothing against Tuchel personally, in fact, I quite like him. However, I think the manager of the national team along with the players should (on the whole) come from the country that you are representing (some exceptions would be small nations with small populations and/or limited options). It is a sad indictment that with the scale of football in this country, the number of clubs and the amount of money in our game we cannot find an English manager of quality to lead the national team.
There will be some irony if we earn out first trophy for a very long time under a German manager - it would be even more ironic if that is against his own country.
All that aside, the choice has now been made and I wish him well and I hope the players respond and he gets the support any England manager needs. | | | |

It’s a big statement of intent.
I just hope he forgets his past association with Mason Mount. |  |

So does that leave Potter for us then? | | | |

I hope so Kingslandstand. I remember years ago hearing a supporter complain that we should not trust SGE because he wasn't English. He changed his tune after the Germany match.
Good Luck Thomas. You have your mission. | | | |

A good appointment. At least it shows a bit of ambition from the FA for once.
Wonder how many decades before an English manager takes a German team to a major trophy !? | |

Every article on the daily mail website says its a disaster and he's German and shouldn't have the job. Obviously some directive from above to all their journos.
But amazingly the comments on each story are pretty much all positive which took me by surprise.
We broadly like foreigners in football here , like Klinsman, Zola, Bergkamp etc and even Jose.
If Tuchel wins games he'll be adopted! |  | | |

I thought he came across quite well in the press conerence just given despite some stupid questions - "Will you sing the National Anthem" etc | | | |

Waste of money, there already is a Euro winning manager on the FA books why not promote Sarina Wiegman?
A fraction of Tuchels wages and would probably do just as good if not better. Football is football |  | | |

Men's and women's football are not the same. Just watch a few games on TV and you can see the difference. To take one example, men have much greater athleticism, so the kind of press that can be executed by men and women is different.
If a woman is going to be a success in the men's game, she needs to prove herself at club level first. I'm open to the idea that might happen one day but we're nowhere near that yet. | | | |

Yes true.. but all these great managers get sacked in the end .. it's not like a game of human chess , managers influence is limited, lady luck is the biggest factor.
Would like to see a tournament with identical twins playing on different teams with managers taking it in turns to manage in a round robin competition... Then you'll find a good manager. | | | |

The questions made the press conference almost unwatchable. I see Sky Sports pundits and the papers have had a full on meltdown over this great appointment of a winning manager. Gary Nev and co aren’t very happy as it wasn’t one of their mates.
Probably wanted Wazza or someone from Manchester United’s 1999 squad (will they ever stop going on about it?). |  | | |

The current top 6 managers in the PL standings are all foreigners.
Five of the current bottom 6 PL managers are all English.
Go figure. |  |

Gary Neville!
He was assistant England Manager for 4 years 2012-16.
Valencia manager and was sacked.
Not sure I will take much notice of his views. | | | |

Also, out of interest, it would be good to see how Pep and co did at a team like ours, without the money to buy sucesss, like the England job, we currently have some top players so is it really that difficult to pick a team that can win, you go with the players in form in their correct positions, basic 4-4-2 and 80 to 90% of games you should easily win (man on the street or Pep). Good substitutions when needed against the better opposition and given our good raft of players we should win. Just drop the rubbish of playing it out, best RB in some kind of hybrid midfield role, constantly playing a striker who's not fit/in form, I know it's easy from the side lines but Mr Pizza Advert mucked up, we had a golden chance but he kept to playing his buddies/the ones the press wanted in the team and was a headless chicken? Obviously my opinion but for £6m/year I'd put up with any press obuse and believe I could of done better with the players he had the choice of in the summer? | | | |
