If Colman walked past you In the street?

What would you say to him? I would ask him if he really thought he was the man to take us to 2016, or does he just say that because he knows that's what he has to say as our manager? I would also tell him that I think his appointment as our manager was a backwards step and the greatest disrespect to the work that the late and great Garry speed had done for us.

Alright mate, good luck for the forthcoming Wales matches and hopefully we can qualify for the Euros

That would be very nice and I'm sure he had that the first time around and it worked wonders!!!

Nothing, probably. Welsh managers don't like me. I walked past Bobby Gould in Cardiff Market years ago and said hello to him; he brushed past without a second glance...

yeah, just like the previous managers in the last 60 years then.

Never understood people who say that. Whoever followed Speed would have been a backwards step, after what he was beginning to do for us..

If it was a "backwards step" then enlighten me, with the small wage the FAW are prepared to offer, who would you have chosen? Remember, Coleman was appointed in January of 2012.

Speeds record wasn't even that good. He was awful at club level and won a couple of dead rubbers and friendlies toward the end of his reign.

This is an unfair game. If we try to do the same as the big nations we are shagged.

We are a small country without a history of qualifying.
We need to gamble on mavericks , relatively unknowns with a radical plan.

Ex players with no coaching experience is one gamble or we go with a old experienced unfashionable manager who doesn't fancy day to day club stuff anymore.

This will be Colemans last top job, he just hasn't got it.

Oi son, u got a chewy I can hav?

You jack b*stard.

did you actually watch wales under speed? how can you call that a backwards step?! you must of had shit in you're eyes..

Hiya Cookie

Wouldn't say anything to him, just think, what a chancer.

Same question to you then.


Name another manager who would come for 5k a week with top level experience and a style to suit the midfield strength we have.

Agreed was the cheap option.
Faw should have looked further and for sponsorship like Ireland did for O'Neil and Hughes.

Not the cheap option. The only option.

The FAW have a wage structure and they stick to it, its always been the same. He is the best candidate under our circumstances by a country mile, so i cant fathom why people dont get behind him. If he leaves, who is keft that fits that criteria? Bobby Gould?

Before long the days of Coleman would be longed for.

The likes of O'neil woukd never come. Its one of the worst jobs in football. Low wages, tiny pool of players and an unrealistic level of expectation from the "support".

That's why the IFA brought in sponsors to contribute to the wage, it's all over the news, great sponsorship means can pay bigget wages.
The Welsh job isn't unwanted just poorly paid.

Who would sponsor us to the levels needed to get a decent manager in? Nobody with any sense.

Ireland have a rich tradition of qualifying for tournaments and are a much bigger footballing nation.

Shouldn't be to hard with the words most expensive player on the books and the premierships current top performer both of which are young.

If they advertised it I bet we would be surprised by the candidates.

Would a Bellamy, Giggs, Gary Neville , want a big leg up on the management ladder ?

It worked for Hughes ?

The Iceland coach wanted it but we didnt want to interview

Which is part of my theory, a gamble on rookie or an unfashionable experienced guy who doesn't want day to day.

£200k a year is still one hell of a wedge for normals and the chance to coach the most expensive footballer

I wouldnt be so against Coleman if he didnt come across so stupid, his interviews are shocking, biggest problem is he thinks he is clever.
Stupidest interview ever was the one about putting Gareth Bales on the bench to try and trick the other team, i forget who it was now but we should have been beating them anyway without ye edge of having a player on the bench who couldnt play

So you dont like him because of his interviews?

His decision regarding bale was spot on. Nobody knew he couldn't play until after the game.

Bales position on the bench wasnt stopping anyone else of note getting a spot on the bench and his mere presence there made Bosnia (i think) adjust their game plan accordingly. They couldnt go make attacking subs as Coleman could unleash bale off the bench and exploit them. Its the fear factor.

What is more useful for the game Bale being on the bench potentially affecting the oppositions plans or a kid from Northampton Town who wouldnt get a game anyway.

No brainer.

I'd say "Chris lets me tie you up then f**k your mrs in front of you"

I'm a live and let live kinda guy so I try not to bother celebrities and such.

Hi mr permatanman, is that Charlie? she loves it she do's,. last time I looked she ain't blonde.... *chews gum furiously*

No I dont like him because I dont think he is a very good manager (nothing new for wales), his interviews embarrass the whole country thought.

It was stopping someone getting on the bench, who knows who it could have been and what impact they would have had.

Effecting the opposition, we were playing bloody Macedonia we should be beating them with or without Bale and certainly shouldn't need the edge of having an injured player on the bench. Its that type of small minded actions that show he is not up to an international job. We should have been taking the game to Macedonia not hoping they would change formation because we have Bale on the bench.

Lars Lagerback did it with Sweden and he has now done it with Iceland. Let's face it, Iceland are at best, no better than Wales, they don't have a Ramsey or Bale, they are just better organised with a much better manager. The extra we would have forked out for Lagerback would have been easily recouped if we qualified, which I'm sure we would have if he had taken charge of us. The FAW needs to get their heads out of the sand and show some AMBITION! I would rather us fork out a bit extra and actually TRY to qualify and if it doesn't pay off, we would have had a better campaign than normal, be higher seeded and have an easier draw for the next group!
