Not arguing that.
On the Tuchel issue though.
I think Tuchel is a great appointment for England.
I dont get why idiots like Neville, Lineker and Carragher are bitching about the FA not appointing an English manager.
Lineker even went as far to say Carsley had shown him enough to prove he should get the job....like wtf? Winning a couple of glorified friendlies and losing at Wembley to Greece?
Why the **** should the FA not have standards when it comes to appointing the England manager? Why should having a coaching badge and a british passport be enough to qualify? Its bullshit.
"What kind of message does it send?" Uh it sends the message that to get the top job in England you have to actually have a record of success.
The way they have tried to fast track English managers like Lampard, Potter, Gerrard and Rooney into top jobs has failed spectacularly.
People whine about English managers not getting top jobs in the PL, but thats because none of them have proven that they deserve it.
Lampard and Potter were handed the Chelsea job with minimal records of success, they both failed.
Lampard again at Everton, Failed
Gerrard at Villa, failed. Yeah he won a SPL title with Rangers, big whoop, every Rangers manager starts off with a 50% chance of winning the SPL every season.

The best we have to offer in terms of English managers is Eddie Howe....yeah he seems a decent manager, but he has won exactly **** ALL.
If no trophies and a UK passport is the only qualification required to get the England manager job, then expect another 60 years without winning.

Carragher was so against foreign managers he played very little under Sven and capello to show how ‘scouse, not English’ he was.

probably also had a lot to do with the fact that John Terry and Rio Ferdinand were Capellos first choice CBs as they were both 10x better than Carragher, thats probably why he is bitter towards foreign England managers

Thought that was going to be something else for a moment.

Watched a vid recently of some Arab dude trying to show off with his gun, he's in a room with loads of women and kids, and in trying to show off he shoots his own thumb off.

lol this is gonna set off the ******s now.
Except the barcode fans obviously, they are probably happy the FA didnt come calling on Ed.
As good as Eddie Howe has been, he has still won sweet **** all.....

The first thought that comes in my head, I thought you would have to apply for the job rather than being approached - I've no idea if the FA do approach people, but if you don't make your thoughts known then if it was me, I'd say I can't really complain.

I wouldn't have wanted Eddie anyway, although if he had been selected, like all managers I'd have given him a fair amount of rope as I would any manager. I'm not really sure what my thoughts are on Howe, he's one of the unknowns for me, seems to plod along, but I'm not seeing any wonders created that put the Toon on the map.
