Yeah I missed that one. You're correct!
Thanks for a great answer, cheers.
Giggs appointed new Wales manager
- Thread starter PoTMS
- Start date
just to add to the other answers, part of it will be population size also. I think Wales have about 3mill to England’s 50, so there’s a lot of players who will have Welsh heritage and who have a shot with Wales while not making the English standard
How's his tactical approach like ? Is he ready to take over a PL side ? I know these things aren't straightforward but still what do you see from him ?
So it's their fault he's such a bore then?
Coleman had something great going and made good progressive choices, i was gutted when he left, especially for such a poor job choice in Sunderland.
Giggs initially didnt inspire me as a Welshman, but i was willing to give it a chance. Giggs obviously has great football knowledge, has achieved everything and worked under the best manager and played with the best players. Wales has done well with former players turned managers so it was an appointment that made sense (Hughes/Speed/Coleman).
What Giggs has done is build on Coleman's foundation. He's kept the "together stronger" mentality and blooded more youth throughout the team. Wales's biggest strength is that willingness to put 110% in and play with full bodied commitment regardless. Even Bale, the superstar from Real Madrid buys into this. It embodies the message "playing for the shirt".
Giggs seems to have a knack for getting the best out of players, making players rise to the occasion and out in performances each and every game. While we are blessed with real quality through areas of the squad, Ramsey, Bale, James, Ampadu, Brooks he's made real international players out of Moore, Roboerts, Lockyer, Rodon, J.Williams.
So far - no complaints from me. Giggs has got the boys playing well and winning games. Can't wait for the Euro's!

Good appointment for Wales, think he will do a good job.
I have watched just couple of games of Wales since Giggs taken over, that too not full 90 min and it includes yesterday's. Also hardly watched them before he took over so I am not in position to comment on impact he has had. But, I have read people saying he has got them playing well, team plays with different attacking patterns but I didn't see much of it yesterday. Now I know the squad quality is also a factor but didn't see anything which gave feeling that coaching/tactics has elevated this team and that the manager Giggs with better player will be doing lot better.
Since all this is based on very small sample size for me, can someone point me to one of those good in-depth analytical articles on tactics or even youtube videos of his team? I love the guy and really want him to make a name as manager and want to see in detail the positive impact he has brought.

I don’t think anyone can be held responsible for just how boring Owen is.
Been in the job two and a half years already.
Just what I was thinkingBeen in the job two and a half years already.
Won't get the credit but he laid the foundations for this qualification.
Of course he has
Did it for Giggsy right at the end of the season.
I see people still have some attachment to a bloke who beats up women.
He's still technically the manager, isn't he? Bit weird
Where are you seeing that? The guy is still the Wales manager whether you like it or not.
What happens if he's found not guilty? Does he just walk back into the job, despite the fact that Page has led them for the past two years and guided them through qualification?
Nah I think he's utter scum, anyone hero worshipping him in 2022 is a questionable human.
I think you’re mixing Ryan Giggs and Gary Speed up here.
Any clue when the trial is? I read somewhere ages back it was supposed to be in January but obviously didn't happen with the backlog of cases.
Missing out on two opportunities to manage them in major tournament will certainly sting whatever the outcome of this is.

Not his biggest fan, far from it
Not surprising considering Page has been in charge this entire cycle
I guess, if he is not guilty in the trial coming up, it would be a little unfair for him to take Wales to the WC, since their qualification is all down to Page.
Don't give it to Giggseh
Should have stepped down long back.
Done an exceptional job getting them to the World Cup but it definitely feels like the right time considering he’s a piece of shit human that did next to nothing in terms of managing them to World Cup qualification.
Which is it?
Give it Pageh till end o't World Cup
Sack Giggs, sell Wales
Guess he’s resigning before he gets sacked.
