Such a bad appointment

He upsets players and staff, he's not good with the media either

This wont last long imo

He gets results though so if he wins us the world cup I don't care

he went to the dominant team in germany and won nothing

His track record isn’t great, apart from his stint at Mainz, he doesn’t seem to have put down any roots. The appointment doesn’t fill me with confidence, bizarre.

i want to know what odds i can have on bellingham and tuchel having the first disagreement

 

[engee]

Are you sure about that?

 

[C Kent]

Looking forward to the fireworks

 

[The_One]

Are you sure about that?

forgot he was at bayern for nearly 2 years

 

[spudbynight]

Does he have a waistcoat?

Mmm, another who will be happy to be proven wrong, but I'm not sure about this appointment at all.

Bit of a 'meh' appointment for me.

I don't think his stock was particularly high after being at the helm whilst Bayern Munich delivered their first trophyless season in forever, so this is probably a nice job for him - comes with a bit of prestige, England haven't won anything in forever so you can't do much worse than that, squad is shaping up great on paper and he doesn't have to take a club job at a lesser team (for a while).

Edit - on reflection, I don't know who I would name (as a realistic option) if I were to be asked "Who isn't a 'meh' appointment?", so perhaps this ambivalence is more the fact i'm not really that bothered about who the England manager is

Well based on what people are saying about Tuchel we can still hope for Howe in a couple of years

Actually shocked they've managed to get Tuchel, that's a far bigger name than I expected them to get.

no one else wants to employ him because he's a nightmare

Bayern practically begged him to stay, he's got a far better resume than any England manager for ages.

As soon as I saw it was a German I was

He could win the world cup twice over and you'd still hate his guts. It's popcorn time again...

I like Thomas, hope he does well for England.
