I have no idea what Ryan Gigg's philosophy is, can anybody fill me with this?
Giggs appointed new Wales manager
- Thread starter PoTMS
- Start date
Amazing that here is where I found out about this news. There's a lot going on in the footballing world at the moment.
Hope he does well.
Hope he does well.
Hope at least his philosophy is to play attractive football instead of parking the bus.
I didn't notice this with all the Sanchez stuff, interested to see how Giggs does as Coleman has set the bar high and he'll need to hope Bale gets revitalized.
Delighted for him hope it works out well.
With the imminent Sanchez news , this thing just went below the radar. Go learn your trade there giggsy.
Maybe im a bit thick but context?Take a bow Sire
Early candidate for post of the year
Shamelessly stolen from @Globule in the other thread.
Deep inside you know that all this love you are getting is not because of your work. 
During his playing days Giggs had a tendency to miss friendlies but he would always turn up for an official game. Allegedly that didn't go down too well with Welsh supporters.
Well, I guess I might watch Wales now!
Good luck to him.
Wish him all the success in the job.
Giggs one day leading us to glory is too romantic an idea to dismiss.

Thank you, in that case pretty creative joke
Maximum effort away from home.
Good luck to him. Would rather have seen him manage and club level on a weekly basis but will be interesting nevertheless to see how he handles management at a high level.
Should gave waited for the Celtic post to be vacant. Or a stable prem team. Leicester, Watford, or hammers. Someone like that. Too much expectation since he is a wales legend and he has to follow an overachieving manager in Coleman. And wales let's face it are pants. Only way is down.
Not sure why there is lots of negativity. Pleased for him, good job for him I think.. less stressful than a daily job and it's high status which is what he wanted. Hope he does well.
Hope he does well. But it is a very difficult job especially as your first one. Being an International Coach needs a different approach. Hope his right hand men are solid enough atleast.
I was hoping to see him have a crack at managing a club instead of a national team.
I was focused on the Sanchez thread I didnt see this. Absolute crock of shi*e..... Fuming..
Excellent!
It suits Giggs down the ground as didn't Wales abandon playing friendlies to jazz up their rankings?

Hughes's first job in management was Wales, so not surprised to see this.
Expectations are low, so if he can get them playing competently, then it should stand him in good stead for his future management career.

Dont agree your statement at all. Expectations have never been higher for Wales. Sick of people treating us like some kind of trainee scheme. Giggs can f*ck right off
Errr
Dont know what is so funny. We have a cracking group of young players. Football is more popular right now in Wales than it has been in many years coming off the back of our performance in the last Euro's. Finally there is a chance to build on something and we give it to a guy who pretends he gives a damn about Wales now when it suits him.Errr
The man's a fecking Wales legend, ffs!
Now its my turn to laugh.
Not many welsh fans agree!
He's really not. It always came across like he thought that playing for Wales was beneath him.
If we had to go the route of ex player with no experience I'd have given it to Bellamy purely cos he always cared about playing for us.
That said I'll support Giggs and hope he does well with us, doesn't change my opinion that he shouldn't have been given the job though.
Need to make a distinction I think. People from Wales probably dont agree. Man Utd fans seem to think he is. Doesnt give a f*ck about Wales
They clearly missed the opportunity of a Giggs/Bellamy/Hartson dream team
Who said the manager must be Welsh? I dont feel that way.
As a welsh fan who has barely missed a home game for the last almost 20 years just wanted to add my thoughts.
First of all I think he’s probably the best option for us at the moment and I know the majority of other welsh fans won’t agree. (Only 17% on the welsh forum wanted him).
After a disappointing last campaign and with a number of talented youngsters coming through I don’t think expectation for qualifying has ever been higher in my time watching them.
It’s boiled down to three managers with no experience of managing Giggs, Bellamy or Osian Roberts. Osian is so valuable to welsh football, if it wasn’t for the fact we have finally started getting the fans back and the expectation I would have given it to him. However I think we need a big name at this moment to keep the momentum going and for me that’s Giggs.
In terms of how Giggs will fair is difficult to say however we don’t know that about the other candidates as they have no experience either.
Giggs has to keep Osian as assistant though.

I agree didn’t need to be welsh. Although I think the faw thought they needed to be,because as much as we have some good players National pride and graft was the reason we qualified previously.
I think there is enough pride and fight around now though that that doesn’t need to come from the manager anymore and we could have considered someone foreign( outside of uk)
