St. Maximin Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 (edited) Good appointment, this. He’s a successful manager and one that has played exciting football and that’s what England fans want really. Southgate deserved plenty of respect but he was neither of those. If I wasn’t a Newcastle fan I’d want Howe, but that’s a no go for me so can’t complain really. Time will tell ultimately, but at present I don’t buy concerns about how the British public will react to him because he’s German, or if he doesn’t sing the national anthem or wear a poppy. I’m pretty sure only a very small percentage will give a shit and ultimately you have to accept there is a toxic element to fanbases, country and club. We shouldn’t let a small minority of wrong’uns cloud our judgment of the England fanbase in general. Edited October 15 by St. Maximin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 England have an amazing depth of talent right now and Tuchel’s better than most international managers out there. No reason why we can’t lift trophies in that kind of set-up. But we won’t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Tuchel should be made to ring the parents of those who died in World War 2 and tell them the reasons he should get the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s from Jeff Powell who said Carsley should be sacked (before he managed his first game) for saying he wouldn’t sing the national anthem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 England manager should be English. Simple as. If I was going to give the job to a non English manager it would have been Rafa, but then I’m biased. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Interesting appointment! He can't change Palmer's face though so until then I shall remain ambivalent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Surprisingly ambitious appointment. Cant see us doing much in the heat 2026 mind and if his contract is only 18months we’ll be back to square one for the 2028 Euros on home soil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Very strange appointment tbh. He hasn't done well at club level recently, but he is the inspirational type so I guess it could work at international level. It's exciting anyway, think it might be short but sweet, but it might just work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Quite like this. Press will likely hound him out the minute results and performances aren't miraculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a weird appointment for me, but on the other hand a change in strategy is maybe warranted now Gareth has done his inoffensive brand rebuild job. Maybe now they want to be more ruthless and look for a big trophy win. Not that Tuchel seems particularly likely to win a trophy, but I can see why they might want to change the approach. Saying that, it would’ve been interesting if Carsley had done well since that’s the polar opposite approach. We’ll see I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have been brave and stuck with Carsley and give him some media training. Makes a mockery of the St George’s Park setup. Worked fine for Spain.

Maybe they never planned to go with him, or maybe they changed course, dunno. I would’ve appointed him straight after Southgate left TBH, no interim status needed. The fact they did that suggests one or both sides were unsure. Maybe he never wanted the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 I'm obviously in a minority here but my first words when I heard that Tuchel had been appointed was "thank God, at last we win something". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
