It's great to know that Tuchel is now England's 4th foreign manager after Fabio Capello (Italian), Sven-Goran Eriksson (Swedish) and Steve McClaren (Dutch)

Great that he is foreign? Great that he is the 4th? I don't understand the post.
Personally, i think Tuchel might get a tune out of a bunch of talented but uncohesive players. If he can keep the peace with the heirarchy they could genuinely win something.

It was a joke IDoG. Steve McLaren is of course not Dutch but he did a great impression of being Dutch after a week in the FC Twente job.
He really will never live that down ?.

I can’t believe that McClaren got away with that terrible English accent for so many years!
As soon as we heard him speak Dutch for the first time it was obvious it was his first language.

I would dare say you give Tuchel the games that Southgate had and England would not still be waiting for a major trophy.
I don’t particularly like his style of play but his record in knockout football is a good one.
Doesn’t say much for the current crop of England managers mind.

It’s obviously a joke about McLaren’s time in Holland when he gained a Dutch accent I am wondering if he may do similar whilst in his current Job? Now that would be hilarious. But in all seriousness not many on this site are too fussed on who the England Manager is it is of little importance.

Jokes that you have to explain are the best ones.

I might try and read the posts properly next time. At least my face now matches my shirt :)

@TB2, very true.

Shhhteeeve McLaren is a man of world, don't you know.

The fake Duth accent my Maclaren was the stuff of legends, guys. It will never get old. As for the Tuchel appointment I mean, what's left to say about it? The FA really gave the detractors a rod for their own backs, IMO.

I honestly couldn’t care less who the England manager is. I simply can’t bring myself to support players that I despise 99.9% of the time so I don’t watch England play that much.
How could I support England when every time Kane scores I’m gutted? ?.

Beckers, that is true and I agree as well cos footie has moved on now. It is now a global sport where it really doesn't matter where the coach comes from. If he can do the job then, hire him.
As for Tuchel himself, I don't rate him and he is a very toxic figure in any dressing room he takes over. Wouldn't want him anywhere near LFC. Just my take, mate.
