Tuc-Hell and back?

Who cares. Not like they are boss like Sweden is it lol

 

[MikeH72]

A German manager managing a load of Irish lads!

Building Jerusalem!

Much like an Icelandic dentist managing a load of English lower league players. Womp womp.

Right, so if a sufficiently talented homegrown resource isn’t available, then you’d advocate for hiring someone not of that nationality, yes?

I guess it depends on what your definition of sufficiently talented is. For me personally there were homegrown coaches I’d have offered it to but looking forward to seeing how Tuchel will get on

Best Manager for the national team we've had in decades

Yes, and the end of the tiresome excuse that it’s always the manager and never the players who aren’t up to it.

A great appointment by the FA corporate suits, a triumph for German football’s coaching culture, an indictment of English football (which can’t seem to produce world-class coaches), and the latest example of English football merely outsourcing the real hard stuff that defines whether it’s system actually works in ways that make it something more than a money-obsessed importer of superior foreign talent.

Vorsprung durch Technik.

So what’s the point of having internationals at all? To promote Adidas?

What’s the point of calling Everton and English football club when half the squad are foreign?

The same reason Tesco is an English supermarket despite employing foreign workers?

A dark day? Jesus talk about hyperbolic xenophobia from the Heil

Feel a bit sorry for carsley. Tuchel apparently signed his England contract on 8th, so when carsley was being interviewed and slated by the press for his answers, it's because he already knew he wasn't getting the job.

He was gonna be slated anyway though, as will Tuchel.

He was gonna be slated anyway though, as will Tuchel.

I agree, but this was specifically slating his responses to questions about the England vacancy and his desire for a job that had secretly already been filled. The fa hung him out to dry by withholding the news until now.

Why just the major nations mate? Seems an arbitrary place to draw the line.

I think developing football nations would benefit from foreign influence in their game.

Countries like England should never have a foreign manager imo.

Just the way I think it should be. Potter and Howe are there, Carsely as well, but we're throwing a lot of money on a big name club manager.
