' A Massive Mistake in My Opinion '

This to me shows Wales are going further back in the dark ages and have lost thousands of fans over the years and Coleman getting another 2 years, will certainly not help attendances or make Welsh fans believe there is a future now for Wales in the next coming years.

Opinions Please.

Chris Coleman factfile
As a player he won 32 caps for Wales and captained Fulham when they won promotion to the First Division in 1998-99.

Appointed manager by Fulham in 2003.

Later managed Real Sociedad, Coventry and Greek club Larissa before taking the Wales job in January 2012 following the death of Gary Speed.

Wales have played 14 games under Coleman, winning four and drawing two with eight defeats.

He had been linked with the vacant manager's role at Crystal Palace.
Coleman's future with Wales has been the subject of speculation following a disappointing World Cup campaign.
Wales finished fifth in Group A, winning just three of their 10 games.
The former Fulham, Real Sociedad and Coventry City boss, whose current contract expires after Saturday's friendly with Finland in Cardiff, had said he was undecided about continuing in the role.
Coleman has been linked with the managerial vacancy at his former club Palace, who parted company with Ian Holloway in October and are currently bottom of the Premier League.
He will be joined at Friday's media conference by FAW president Trevor Lloyd Hughes and chief executive Jonathan Ford.
Coleman may need to add to his management team after John Hartson's decision to step down as assistant boss last w

Think my tweet says it all! 4 wins in 15 games, what club would give that manager a new contract? Let alone not sack him!

The FAW are blind, can they not see it with arguably the worst attendances in decades since this clown took over that the interest in the national team has become next to non existant.

Surely Coleman himself should have done the right thing and resigned, we are going nowhere fast under this plum! Surely there are more decent managers out there who would love the chance to coach the likes of Bale and Ramsey.

Even though the 2016 finals have been expanded to 24 teams I have no doubt that we will fail to make it while Coleman is coaching Wales.

Silly decision, cheap and easy option by the FAW

I don't think you can just blame Coleman for attendances. Tight finances, Wales rugby doing well. Two premiership teams. High profile players pulling out of squad. Slump in interest in international football in general. We haven't qualified for a finals in decades and after three games of most qualifying we are usually out of the running, this will bring the usual apathy for attending a match. All these factors will affect the attendance. Coleman is just the cherry on the cake and the current scapegoat for all of the above.

Coleman isnt responsible for the poor attendances at welsh games, they have been sh1t for a while. They started to improve under Speed along with performances (just as fickle as club football really) well I personally respect Coleman for having the balls to come in at such a difficult time.

I dont think he was the best option for us but at the end of the day, he's the Welsh manager and he's got another 2 years.

Im not gonna stop supporting my country just because he's the manager. Fair enough if thats what any of you will do but not me.

A complete and utter joke, the laughing stock of world football. Some people are saying they want to play for him, I can assure you THEY DO NOT. Yes you will get a few who say it just to get in the team, like that little jack who plays for Liverpool, but the majority of players are pissed off. Oh well that's me out.

Oh shut the f**k up you absolute cretin

Hey mate, we are all entitled to our opinion, but "cretin"? I bet you would not say that to my face?

I say sack the FAW... How can u keep this absolute numptie in charge of our country??

Yet another major tournament we r gonna miss out on.

As much as I am against this, I still will follow my country. But if we have a poor start will they act or will they just let another campaign fizzle out with Coleman left at the helm.

Chris Coleman not every Cardiff Fan cup of tea but for me the only candidate available who we can afford to do the job that suits the squad we have; I think under his short managerial stint the squad is showing signs of improvement and if he can get all our best players fit and available we have half a chance. His philosophy is to play football on the deck and all our best players play for those types of teams; Arsenal, Liverpool, Real Madrid Swansea. A bit inconsistent I know but young squads are and need time to develop.

Clear improvement from the early mauling from Belgium and Serbia to the wins against Scotland, and Belgium, personally I thought we were unlucky away to Macedonia caught on the break, and we were much the better team against Croatia at home losing late on 2.1 although we should have been 3 up at half time. if those games had gone our way we would be in a play off place now.

people are to hasty to sack managers these days give him another campaign to see what he can do. Mark Hughes team 2004 qualifiers won 4 drew 1 lost 3. 2014 won 4 lost 4 a difference of one point yet the perception of performance is a lot different with that team after wins against Finland away Italy home, and Azerbaijan home and away, but is there much of a difference? Belgium win away with the players available to us was as good a display of any of the aforementioned games. Give him a chance and get behind your National Team.

Small margins make the difference the players are working hard for him we might make that difference if we take our rose tinted Glasses off!


Welsh and Proud

Good post. A very honest and sensible approach.

You're right about the rose-tinted specs. There are too many people against Coleman because they're are biased against anything Swansea related. Some of the comments are embarrassing - "it's not because he's a jack it's beacuse he's inept" blah blah. Absolute rubbish. He's getting more abuse because he's a Jack, regardless of any other opinion.

Wales will always struggle when we have players pulling out last minute or injured etc. The same happened to Gary Speed. Revisionism at it's finest. I was gutted when he tragically left us and Coleman was always going to get it in the neck after him.

The facts are that when Wales have players missing, you could put Sir Alex in charge and he'd not do any better than Coleman. In fact, look at the squad he had to pick from for the last two matches. 4 points he got with that squad! Incredible results.

I'm not saying he's the greatest manager or the most charismatic of people, but the one thing that's come from the past few months is that the players are vocally showing support for him. Also, Ramsey and Bale are turning up for the friendly tomorrow. That shows me all I need to know. That can only be a good thing. If we keep getting the best players on the pitch then we will do ok.

With regard to Speed getting us playing good football, he tried that for while and it clicked eventually - playing it on the floor and similar to Swansea. Coleman is trying to play the same way.

The FAW, however, needs a complete overhaul.

The FAW are blind, can they not see it with arguably the worst attendances in decades since this clown took over that the interest in the national team has become next to non existant.

Wales has never had consistently high attendances so what are you on about? Coleman is doing the best he can with a pretty average squad and he is probably the only manager who we can afford. We looked to have turned a corner recently and the players seem happy with what he is doing so let's just get behind him and see what happens in the next qualifiers.

It's all a bit short-sighted. Coleman has proved he isn't the right man for the job. His teams are too predictable. But to echo the sentiments of Steve Tucker, moaning about him will not do anyone any good and just have a negative effect on the team. All we can do is get behind the boys, regardless of who is the manager, and do our bit.

I am just waiting on his next disaster....it wont be long dont worry.

This is a disaster of a press conference

Anyone understand what the hell he is on about?

Sounds like a load of jibberish rubbish & usual excuses

Yes, he is saying that the "honour" of leading his country was a deciding factor in signing a new two-year contract.

I hope that clears it up, you Neanderthal.

But your opinion is laughable

Silly decision, cheap and easy option by the FAW

over the past 10 years i have missed very little watching Wales, but after going to watch Wales play Serbia it was my final straw under Coleman, the only way i would go back to watch Wales under him if we have Spain, apart from that Wales have lost my support for another 2 years SAD TO SAY IT TOO

What?

Hey thanks for translating it for me

Maybe you can get your employers either the FAW or Welsh media to get him to speak clearly at press conferences in future instead of talking rubbish

Do we go to games to see wales win? We would like them to play well and not embaress themselves but In the 15 years ive been to watch them I very rarely expect them to win but support them none the less wether it be colman or bobby f*cking gould so people who dont go because we are shit or the managers a cock should just stay away for good cmon you wales
