LUX Confession…. My first reaction was “ surely there must be a suitable Englishman available”……., but reading Farage/ the Express/ Mail’s offensive reaction I have performed a complete U turn. Not proud tbh.

I think it's reasonable to want someone English to manage England, it is the national side after all. That, of course, doesn’t mean one needs to have a xenophobic reaction to someone of another nationality being appointed.
It's a sad sign of how far our nation has regressed, that something seen as completely normal and accepted pushing towards 20 years ago with the likes of Ericsson and Capello now prompts xenophobic diatribes. Why anyone would want to take England back to 70s attitudes is beyond me, but that's where we seem to be unfortunately. And heading ever on back to the stone age.

Doesn't help the "buy in" that Capello and Ericsson were overall failures though. Personally would prefer an English/British manager but there aren't any out there that are really up to the job (and haven't been for ages but then that's a real issue with leading PL clubs chasing £££££ and not investing in the time managers from these shores need to develop, there must be great talent out there somewhere, it wouldn't suddenly just stop). At the end of the day Thomas is the best England could currently get, so who cares where he comes from?

Sanguine With the news that Ollie Watkins will start ahead of Kane in a must-win Nations League game tonight, I for one can't wait for Lee Carsley and his 'experiments' to fcuk off, tbh.

Carnabyswhiskers You've been out of the country too long, Lux. Rogers is a cracking player. This group + Tuchel could be a force at the World Cup (pending qualification of course). All we have lacked in recent tournaments is a coach able to spot issues during a game and make tactical/personnel changes to influence the game. We now have one. Trouble is, he might have fallen out with everyone before we even kick off.
