Terry Venables was probably the last good England manager born and bred here ;the FA should of given into his demands of a contract extension.
God rest his soul.
Venables & Hoddle were my favourite England managers in terms of playing style but Southgate has had more success and we should have won that final against Italy IMO , in Germany we were pretty poor and still managed to make the final . I'll be honest barring the major tournaments I don't really watch international matches as most games seem glorified friendlies in all but name I am very disengaged from it as whenever I watch a game it's quite boring in truth ; I'm not sure Tuchell's style is that much different to Southgate's is it ?

Interesting what Tony Adams says in his book about man management between the pair; Venables managed Gazza far better than Hoddle did. Still feel looking back Hoddle was unlucky during France 1998 though and had it not been for Beckham's petulance I think like he does that England would have beaten Argentina.

Can you imagine what the Daily Mail back page would be like if instead of not singing the national anthem Tuchel decides to sing it in German?

I would rather we had an English man but who have we got ? Very little choice.
So I hope he does a good job and wins us another world cup.
To do that he will have to get the best out of a very talented squad something our previous managers haven't been able to do.

I do hope he's going to put his foot down and not just attempt to somehow cram all our talented midfielders into the team at the same time like it is the noughties.
I'd be happy to see Bellingham in a slightly advanced midfield role alongside Rice so he's not running all over the pitch like he's been controlled by an 8 year old playing FIFA. Similarly, if he's going to play Kane, get the flipping ball into the box a bit more often so he's got a chance to score some goals instead of watching the ball being pointlessly tip-tapped backwards and forwards outside the box. Either play Palmer as a winger or not at all and try and get Foden to do something now and again. Following the pathetic performance against Greece, he'll probably manage to work out that playing with a forward in the team is a good idea as well.
I'd also like him to magically discover a high level left-back for us from somewhere. Oh, and a top level goalkeeper.

That's the biggest problem in managing a national side - finding a quality qualifying player for every position. It's a lot easier managing a club side - the only limitation is money.

FFS....to all those arguments about race and ethnicity, to not like Germans because one idiot got a bee in his bonet about ruling the world should not allow you to tar all Germans as English hating lunatics... And for the record, you are arguing about xenophobia...
Xenophobia is a fear or hatred of people who are perceived as foreigners or strangers, or of anything that is perceived as strange or foreign. It can also refer to the attitudes, prejudices, and behaviors that result from this fear, such as rejection, exclusion, and vilification.
