  1. People laughed when Gareth got the job, so here is my shout if Tuchel fails. Phil Parkinson. The bloke isn't winning leagues on the bounce because of money, he is a master tactician. He is the next British manager to make a name for himself. And he would have been top of my list.

  4. The present crop of English players are tremendous individually. THEY, the players, deserve the best chance to win the next World Cup. The nationality of the manager is irrelevant, and the players deserve the best manager. Simple as.

  8. They say we were cose with southgate but he scraped through games in an easy draw to lose to a an old Italy side and then had another easy draw to the final where a bellingham last min overhead kick saved us from embarrasment, realistically we are under par every perfomance in a tournament with Southgate its never fun to watch

  20. How about on the flipside if Tuchel wins the World Cup with England, it brings more attention and development into grassroots English football from an international standpoint?

  23. Tuco is a top guy and needs a bit of respect on his name but maybe we need Nev to be head coach and Jamie as the assistant and give the southgoat a knighthood.

  26. These guys are just traumatized by Capello. Also, current group of players think very differently to these lot and are actually more comfortable and respondent to foreign managers.

  28. Pulisic is playing more minutes for Milan this year than he’s played since he was at Dortmund, so not having him play on a terrible Mexican pitch makes sense. The other four are carrying injuries.

  30. the England job shouldn't be a learning experience or trial period for English managers, it should be the pinnacle job after years of proving themselves, the job should never be given to managers that haven't achieved anything, especially this England team that is primed to win.

  31. These ex-footballer mainstream pundits are totally out of touch with the England fanbase. The lionesses had a Dutch coach when they won the Euros. I would argue that Tuchel is a far better competition coach than Pep and we are lucky to have him. Mainstream pundits are not transferring well to purely youtube channels – stick to TV guys and leave the YT channels to real fans. We are sick of the sight of you.

  32. Talking wibble lads. Pure and simple, they’ve selected the best man (available) for the job, which is to win in ‘26.
    You all repeatedly say, the hardest step is to WIN. English Managers don’t win!
    In time I’m sure one will. Until then. Best man for the job, all day every day.

  33. What's with the name?
    English people calling it soccer?
    Bloody hell trying to reach out the Americans and calling it the wrong name 👍🏼🫣
