NUFC91 Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 Very good appointment imo, some of these pundits talking fluent shit, if Howe and Potter potentially didn't want it then who do they expect to take it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 17 minutes ago, Kid Icarus said: I like it purely because it's not Howe and on that basis I love it tbh, greatest appointment ever. Beyond that I don't think it's a good appointment at all tbh. Even when Tuchel's successful and not falling out with people, he has a very clear use by date of 1 year. Weirdly I think it's also a bad appointment for him, an international appointment should be beneath him unless he's looking for something a bit more laid back. Stretch it to 18 months or so and that's all we need to win the World Cup. A short term appointment makes sense if the idea is to get the best we possibly can before the next tournament.

Joelinton7 Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 (edited) Just watched his press conference. He was asked 3-4 times if he thinks the England manager should be English and also if he will sing the national anthem (even by the reporter for a German outlet). FML. He says he wants to put a second star on our shirt and one of the wankers, in a sarcastic tone just goes “good luck” then tries to cover it up.

Collage Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 (edited) 5 hours ago, joeyt said: I'm not really sure I buy the idea that the likes of Pep and Klopp and Howe are the right fit for international management. Their success is all about imprinting their philosophy relentlessly on the training ground so I'm not sure how they're going to do that in international management when they'll only see the players for a few days every couple of months I see it like this; international managers need to have a very clear philosophy as in a clear structure they can establish quickly, rather than rely on man-management and the qualities you gain by working with the players on a regular basis.

They would find it quite the humiliation to have to look outside of Germany. I get your point, and yes we don’t exactly have a talented crop of English options available. However if we want the possibility of quick success with an appointment like Tuchel then it’s important to drop the ego and make the best choice for the side, regardless of his nationality.

Weezertron Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 (edited) The majority of English coaches are seemingly thick as pig shit, along with a majority of english players. People have been crying in the press for decades now about how English coaches are never considered, but Steve Bruce is still getting new jobs. Tuchel is a pretty major upgrade on Southgate.

LFEE Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 3 hours ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: That's what makes me think it was never going to Carsley, or he never wanted it. Otherwise it's a sudden and dramatic change of strategy. I think Carsley could’ve give them a decision to make and the lower salary would’ve appealed along with the optics. However he was a disaster in the media (whether you think that is important up to you). He had a mare against Greece apparently (did not see it) and on top of that give no actual sign to anyone he wanted the job. Quite the opposite in fact.

CallumG6 Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 Just watched Neville talk about Tuchel’s appointment and how he’s surprised Potter or even Howe didn’t get given the role (being English). What is it with these pundits who think they even wanted the job? Neville acting like the England job is the pinnacle of football management. It’s an undesirable job, why is that even remotely difficult to understand? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFCDoog Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 To be fair Carsley clearly wanted the job when he first came in, I just think the FA then decided he qouldnt be getting it, told him, and then he did that pathetic immature thing we all did when we were kids/some still do now when we don't get something we wanted and just go all "well, I never actually wanted it anyway" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likelylad Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 I like the idea of giving him a run at the World Cup and then going from there. Too early for someone like McKenna. Potter has done himself no favours by sitting out so long post Chelsea. Needs to build his rep back. Glad Howe is staying. He can now focus on wining some silverware.

Only have to look at some of the jokers that have managed Brazil or Netherlands for example to show when it hasn’t they’re more inclined for local trash. Personally if you’re a big(gish) developed football nation I don’t think you should be importing your manager, even moreso if it’s someone who hasn’t spent the vast majority of their career in your country. As has been said it’s supposed to be the best of your nation tek. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 I’m quite enjoying the type of person it seems to have triggered. Hope he wins the lot. On a serious note I think we should only ever hire an English manager unless the alternative is substantially higher quality than what is available. Sadly the only English manager that’s even remotely decent is Howe and he’s won nothing. Hiring Tuchel is a no brainer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly the only English manager that’s even remotely decent is Howe and he’s won nothing. Hiring Tuchel is a no brainer. Yeah this is pretty much my speed. And given the highest profile (feasible) English manager was Graham f'n Potter, I'm alright with Tuchel. We have a very limited pool of established English managers. It's a wildly multi cultural league, further diluted by the whole United Kingdom thing. Scottish managers have had infinitely more success than English managers. We've never had an English manager win the PL since football started 32 years ago. We're shit. It IS a little embarrassing that we need to hire a German manager. But the alternatives are Graham Potter and Lee Carsley. Fuck that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
