And I hope so Chris

For me if Wales can get a high quality manager, Nationality should not be important regarding the manager, we need to qualify for the next Euros :thumbright:

Of course it's perfect if you can get a high quality Welsh manager, but where are they?

It's pathetic as many if our team are half English anyway :thumbright:

whats been said is a Welshman definitely...a foreigner possibly..an Englishman definitely not..
considering half our national team are English and most people either support English clubs or Welsh clubs playing in England with English players and managers it sounds pretty pathetic tbh.

Giggs joke aside (although he would never be my choice) I actually agree :thumbright:

FAW appear to have said Welshman preferably, overseas (or Scottish or Irish) possible, Englishman a non-starter and that does seem a little odd :?

Surely the best man (or woman) for the job regardless of where they come from? :ayatollah:

Hope it's not Giggs never a true Welshman and never wore the shirt with pride turned up when he felt like it.

but has won more Welsh caps than ALL but 2 previous Wales managers..

Thank goodness there will be no English manager for the Welsh nation! We are Wales NOT England. Wales are way better than England and that is true.

But pulling away from that debate, Wales should appoint someone like Tony Pulis with Craig Bellamy as his sideman. I think this would be great, as Tony Pulis is without a club at the moment and would surely relish the opportunity to take charge of Wales?

What an idiot of a chief executive. Truly embarrassing, this is why people outside Wales think we all live in caves. If the best candidate is English then sign him up. Thank goodness this chief exec wasn’t around as “our country” went to war against the nazi,s. This fool would have said we can’t listen to Churchill cause he’s English, embarrassment and pathetic towards our nearest neighbours :oops:

If they're not careful the FAW could be done for discrimination if they exclude applicant on the grounds of nationality.
Not very clever.

Give the job to Michael Owen then (couldn't resist that either!).

Adrian Durham and talk sport were all over this, saying we are happy to take their players, why not their Managers.

Comments like our captain Ashly Williams, if a bit older wouldn't be eligible then...........

Not very clever.



Correct not very clever and not the way to make friends, isolating themselves.

As an Englishman himself, I very much doubt that Jonathan Ford is being discriminatory. More likely his comments have been twisted. People on here getting their knickers in a twist over nothing.
