"He feels he's taken them as far as he can"

 

What?

 

He's taken them nowhere at all.

[nobby_solano]

shame wor gary just took the sheffield united job, bet he'd have been interested in this one.

'course he could still take the job to give sheffield united to whinge about....again

[Kaizero]

tbf nowhere is as far as they can go.

What legitimate managerial options do Wales have now?  I can't think of a single Welsh manager who could/would take the job.

[Ishmael]

It seems I'm not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to Welsh managers:

 

Chris Coleman, who is out of work, Dean Saunders, the Wrexham manager who is also Toshack's assistant, and Brian Flynn, who has done an impressive job in his role as the Wales Under-21 coach.

tbf nowhere is as far as they can go.

Not true really - they've got some decent enough players to do better.  not saying they should be qualifying for a major tournament, but they should be closer than they have been.

I have never liked Toshack, especially after he walked after a 3-0 defeat during his first appointment as manager. There is no Welsh manager that sticks out as a good candidate. I don't think Coleman is International material. Speed would have been an obvious choice but has now taken the job at Sheff Utd.

 

I think it would have to be a foreign manager, I think there is more this Welsh team can offer to be honest, I don't think the team is ready to qualify for a major competition but can do better than they are doing. Its just a pity we didn't get through that playoff V Russia. After going out to Russia and drawing 0-0 we were in pole position but Mark Hughes bottled the home leg with his negative tactics.

 

I think we are ready for a change, but who is another matter.

 

[SEMTEX]

Bellamy?

[JH]

It'll be Giggsy.

He's taken them nowhere at all.

 

...which is as far as he can

[Guest GAMMELL]

Chris Coleman

[madras]

of course they need to pick a welshman, as welsh as fabio is english or giovanni is irish.

[Rob W]

toshack is a serial loser TBH

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Should have got rid of him years ago, surely.

[Guest gggg]

They'll have more chance if some of the 18 players he made retire come back.

[ponsaelius]

Wales would have a half-decent side if they could get everybody available I think.

 

[Village Idiot]

Nah, some good players but some abysmal depth. Do they even have a keeper that's first choice at a decent level?

[Doctor Zaius]

Chris Coleman, nailed on I reckon.

----------------Hennessey----------------

Gunter----Collins----Gabbidon-----Bale

Davies----Collison----Ledley-----Giggs

----------------Ramsey--------------------

---------------------Bellamy---------------

 

Bench: Myhill, D.Collins, Williams, Ricketts, Koumas, Vaughan, Earnshaw

 

 

Actually, that really is a bit s****

 

Plus to get close to that you'd have to persuade half of them to come out of retirement.

 

However it's a better XI than the current Scotland team and I reckon could push Switzerland for 2nd place in the current group.

 

EDIT: you'd also have to magically heal Ramsey

 

 

[Village Idiot]

Who's retired from that list? Giggs, Koumas, Gabbidon, Davies...?

[ponsaelius]

Who's retired from that list? Giggs, Koumas, Gabbidon, Davies...?

 

They're the 4 I know of.

[Fried Chicken]

toshack is a serial loser TBH

 

Sh!te Manager & Egotistical

[Dokko]

Gary Speed should have held on a bit longer.

 

TBH though i think they'll go foreign (unless its been stated they will look for Welsh)
