IT WOULD be some understatement to suggest Thomas Tuchel divides opinion.
Not least because the footballing establishment have appointed someone as England manager who rails against the establishment.
And on the face of it, the FA have gone from the sublime to the ridiculous when it comes to the man now tasked with tackling the 'Impossible Job! Most of Gareth Southgate's reign was measured, serene and successful. There was calm instead of chaos and he said the things people wanted to hear.
But now, with one huge leap of blind faith, the FA have put their trust in someone who could start a row in an empty room.
Forget the fact he's German, which is an irrelevant and archaic argument.
What Mark Bullingham should be more concerned with is the fact that Tuchel's success at club level has come at a high price.
