Flick gets the flick

[Fauxstralian]

German manager Hansi FLICK sacked following a 4-1 home friendly defeat by Japan. First German boss to be sacked since the role was created in 1926. Has won 12 of 25 since he took over from Joachim Low in August 2021 and lost 4 of the last 5. Germany host the Euros next June and are probably at the lowest ebb in their history

Japan win the WW2 Runners Up derby Shouldn't that be called the 3rd/4th place playoff ?

He'd make a great manager for a Subbuteo team

Iron Duke 11:08 , I didn’t think much of Allo Allo at the time but love watching the repeats now . Just simple comedy ..you could almost imagine it being acted out on stage in your village hall .

Mad Dog what he do.wiz the Fallen Madonna Wiz ,Ze Big Boobies though?

Since they are hosting the Euro's they will really want to get the new guy right. It won't be Klopp though.

I opened this thinking it was going to be an RIP thread for the actor who played Herr Flick in allo allo! But Richard Gibson is alive and well…….

I thought Flick would a be fairly common German surname - I was wrong. 2158th most common. Three possible origins - Middle High German for lively related to flicken to repair, kind of tailor or cobbler who specialises in repair work ugly, someone whose face looks like it's been patched up I'm guessing the Flicks themelves prefer the first explanation

"No, I said Flick, ze gestapo"

[Iron Duke]

I couldn’t stand ‘Allo ‘Allo.

[Darlo Debs]

The guy is called Herr Flick. Comedy Gold.

[stubbo]

Having someone in charge of Ze Germans who was actually Herr Flick just felt so right...hopefully Von Klinkerhoffen takes over.

Seem particularly to be struggling to find strikers. Days of Gerd Muller & Klinsmann long gone when they are relying on the dismal Werner and the OAP Thomas Muller.

Japan win the WW2 Runners Up derby Could have got a few more, the kraut defence was like watching Luton
