Saturday Night Spies
Just seen this alert on Sky. Hope it isn’t true.
The bottom of the Championship is an interesting plan in his quest for the CL.“I have always stressed I would love to experience working in the Champions League,” said Coleman. “I am not going to get that from a club in the Premier League. It is just not going to happen, not now. To do that, I would probably have to travel.”
“There are very few managers that are in a position to say where they want to work. Jobs in the industry are few and far between,” he added.
Giggs has got a role doing something in Vietnam. No idea how much work that'd involve from him though so maybe he can still do club/international management.Gutted, but not surprised. He's taken us further than we ever thought possible and the future is looking pretty bright with talents like Woodburn and Ampadu coming through.
Who next? Giggsy, perchance?
No, I can't see it ending well. What he did with Wales though was build a platform with some very, shall we say, functional players to allow his best players to perform. I know Sunderland don't have a Bale or Ramsey, but he has shown he can organise a team and make them solid as hell. To do that on the international stage is impressive given the short spells spent with the players. Working with a team day in day out, he might be able to make a go of it.He's done a great job as Wales manager, I wouldn't mind him staying to be honest.
I don't think this will end well at Sunderland though, I'm still not convinced he's a great manager, despite the few good years with Wales.
I hope we don't go for giggs, even though you may have been joking, I just really hope we don't.Gutted, but not surprised. He's taken us further than we ever thought possible and the future is looking pretty bright with talents like Woodburn and Ampadu coming through.
Who next? Giggsy, perchance?
Yeah, I agree with all that about Wales, awesome stuff by him.No, I can't see it ending well. What he did with Wales though was build a platform with some very, shall we say, functional players to allow his best players to perform.

That said, Sunderland is one hell of a poisoned chalice.
Giggsy wouldn't pitch up for friendlies...I hope we don't go for giggs, even though you may have been joking, I just really hope we don't.
We've had a great time under cookie but I think something fresh could work well with the youngsters coming through, like you said.
it is a daunting thought who we are going to go for though.
Not convinced Coleman will do well at Sunderland, seems a strange decision.
That's the rub isn't it; can he do it without a huge wave of national pride behind him? I've never been bowled over by his club management but perhaps he's learned some useful lessons from his time with Wales.He’s not a very good manager. He was propped up by some excellent players for Wales, and that team showed that a little belief can go a long way.
There is none of that at Sunderland.
Crazy eh.How does Moyes end up at West Ham and Coleman at Sunderland?
Nothing makes sense
Coleman massively over achieved and now he's come crashing back down to earth with a loud bump.Really worried where Wales go from here. I expected him to move on but to Sunderland of all places?!
Money it seems. Can’t blame him too much since the Welsh FA aren’t minted but I think he should have waited for a better offer from a better run club.Odd choise, He's done so well with the Welsh. Why Sunderland?..
I can understand if he wants a change, I'm on the same page as you, Why Sunderland!? Fecking Moyes got West Ham!Money it seems. Can’t blame him too much since the Welsh FA aren’t minted but I think he should have waited for a better offer from a better run club.
