The best part about Thomas Tuchel becoming England manager is how much the English boomer pundits hate it, and imagining all the outrageous stuff they’re going to say once he loses an important game.

At a charity event the other night, quintessential football boomer Harry Redknapp was asked whether England were right to appoint a German as their manager, and he gave a pretty hilarious/controversial response to the question:

“I don’t know. I’ll be honest with you, I think he’s a German spy. I’m telling you. Seriously, he’s been sent over to f*** us up. He has. I’m telling ya, he’s like Lord Haw Haw in the war – ‘We have your best soldiers captured’ and all that.”

Obviously he was just having a laugh, but some are saying Harry Redknapp then took the joke too far by putting on a German accent, saying “Ja”, and throwing up a Nazi salute:

Hmm, maybe he was just sending his heart out to him?

Fortunately, the audience laughed at Redknapp’s joke and the cheeky Nazi salute, otherwise things could have got a bit awkward for him.

What’s even funnier though is that according to OptaJoe, Harry Redknapp never named a single German player in any of his 641 Premier League starting XI’s as a manager. Which is a nice stat for anyone out there who wants to have a cry over this, and call him a racist and whatnot.
