Disappointed not to see Raoul given the origins of the name.

Reckon our morons are still going to chant 10 German bombers?

 

I think so.

First game is three days after Remembrance Day……….the media will be rubbing their hands already!

Tremendous appointment, other than Pep best candidate out there. 
 

But he's on a hiding to nothing with the state of some of the fucking idiots and press in this country.

[midds]

Gut reaction is similar to the one I had when they gave it to Capello. Not saying he's shit, I just don't think it's a great fit.

Tabloid headline writers will have field day. The Sun will have “Don't mention the VAR” ready to go.

I think I mentioned it once but got away with it....

If we get a Japanese coach in the future we’ll have completed the set of axis powers, then no one can say we’re still hung up on the war.

The Sun isn’t the only red top with a glorious history in that dept …

Well done FA, happy with that.

I bet Hope and the Makem Witch still ask Howe about it 

[Paully]

 

[Joelinton7]

I’m unsure about this, admittedly because I know very little of him other than the fact he was Chelsea manager for a little bit. Didn’t stay long there, or at PSG and Bayern. Two years as Dortmund manager. Is that where he made his name or was it at Mainz? I know he’s highly rated. I want him to do well and for England to win a bloody trophy so will back him.

"Eddie, on a scale of "gutted" to "permanently scarred" how disappointed are you at missing out on the England job? Do you think your strained relationship with Paul Mitchell had a big effect on the FAs decision, or just a huge one?"

I must admit I feel the same as you, I don't know his style of play, preferred formation or anything but hope he does well, ip was always very suspicious when the players said the loved Carsley, in my eyes it means he's easy for them to control.

What's with all these top class managers going to International management all of a sudden? Pochettino, Nagelsmann and now Tuchel, all managers who are in their prime years, going to International jobs.

Expand  

They’re rich and don’t need the hassle of a club, I would guess. And they’re in some kind of career dip which rules them out of another top club.

He’s the best manager in the world apart from Pep? Or is nobody else a candidate? 

[gbandit]

“Eddie, sources are saying that Paul Mitchell was hell bent on drugging you unconscious and cuffing you before driving you down to the FA headquarters and throwing you through their front window with a tag labelled “come get me”. Have you spoken to Paul about this and if so, how destroyed beyond recognition is your relationship?”

Pretty much this. International management must be a breeze compared to club football, and they still get to work at the very top and manage elite players.

[frankpingel]

Seems to have moved on incredibly quickly. It'll be interesting if nothing else as he's definitely not a yes man.

[Armchair Pundit]

There's a big difference in the following of International football over club football, I've never felt that comfortable with the idea of anyone without a vested interest, from a nationality point of view, having anything to do with another country's team. I understand that's not a popular view with some, but I can see there being so many conflicts of interest or just general excuses for issues on both sides.

Really hope we get another incident similar to this.
