Sorry I can’t come to terms with this. A German managing England? Ridiculous. They are our joint main rivals with Scotland. This is akin to Pardew being appointed Albion manager. Any other nationality would be OK but not this. In ‘real life’ I have nothing against Germans or Germany, but in international football I do. The FA have f***ed up yet again.
Sacked by his last club and they think they upgraded by hiring someone who got Burnley relegated………

Living the dream
Loving all the negativity before he's even been announced, never mind had a game or even a competition in charge. True NSC, at it's best.
Much happier with him in charge than the Boring Brummie or Smug.
My immediate reaction is that I'm going to watch England games again. Last one I watched was the Spain final snoozefest having only watched the semi final since the Italy final.
ABS for me.
(Anyone But Southgate).

He was also sacked from PSG when it was obvious that they weren't going to win the title 20/21 despite having twice the budget of anyone else.
His horse won enough one-horse races in France though to make his CV look really good. And then obviously the CL win which will make him pop up everywhere until the end of his career.
It covers up the fact that he's always sacked and always leaves behind teams with big attitude and confidence problems.
He's known to be tactically demanding and not leave too much room for creativity... and then throwing players under the bus when his teams lose. Its a difficult combination.

In other words, a perfect fit for the English FA

As good as anyone out there I suppose.
Only has to manage a handful of games and not a whole seasons fixtures.
Might bring out the best in him, time will tell.
Could be a precursor for 'that football guy'.

Wouldn’t buy out Eddie’s contract but going to pay TT £7m a year

OookayyyyTootle. It's Tootle
Bloody 'ell, tommy tickle......I am less than tootle
Sounds like a perfect fit!
Teach our lazy entitled players a history lesson.
(To be honest, I am torn between being really upset, excited, and not giving a shit).
Call me aseptic, but I'm not sure that Beheaddie would be guaranteed to translate his trophy-winning club success into the international arena, to be fair.Wouldn’t buy out Eddie’s contract but going to pay TT £7m a year
I'm not keen on Tuchel at all but now that the sodding Daily Mail has called it a dark day, I'm suddenly very cheerful about the whole thing.

Good appointment in circumstances.
Wouldn’t happen in Germany, mind.

So it's basically like Steve Coppell turning up at Withdean ?
Superb left field appointment which is either going to go spectacularly well or be a disaster.

Regardless of the Mail's angle, I was already of the view that it is a bit depressing that England (ENGLAND) are once again reverting to bringing in an overseas ringer, because we are apparently incapable of producing a coach / manager who has the CHOPS to take on the England job.
No other "top" nation (and despite the usual naysayers, the rankings confirm that we are) has ever resorted to this. The EPL is this gigantic all-conquering circus for the world to enjoy, but when it comes to an englishman actually achieving anything from the dugout - yeah, forget it.
Its a stark admission of failure by the FA. Do I want Tuchel to do well ? Of course. I'm still an England fan. But in the unlikely event that we go on and win something under him, the edge of it will most certainly be taken off for me by the fact that we had to resort to bringing in a German ringer to sort it out.

A year & six months nice pay day for the hours of physical work. Porter must be gutted.Wouldn’t buy out Eddie’s contract but going to pay TT £7m a year

No idea, it’s on par with the under 21’s winning a tournament I suppose.Is that what they did when the Lionesses won the Euros? I couldn't give a shit if they tried to take the piss for that
Perhaps not, but he's English and it wouldn't end with a colossal hissy fit at some point, leaving a mess to sort out as TT's tenure inevitably will.....
