"They [the FA] have looked at whoever and come up with Thomas Tuchel and thought there is a real live chance he could get the Man United job pretty soon. If they didn't act quick, now, they weren't going to get one of the outstanding candidates for the England job." - Alan Shearer, discussing the urgency of the FA's decision to appoint Tuchel due to potential interest from Manchester United.
"We know they [Man United] went for Tuchel in the summer and it didn't happen so maybe the FA were thinking 'crikey, we don't want to miss out to Man United' and maybe it pushed them. It does seem slightly odd the timing, because reports are he is not going to do the job until the start of the year." - Gary Lineker, reflecting on the FA's swift move to secure Tuchel's appointment.
