I'm not sure if it's a joke but I think your spot on :')
I'm realistic enough to know no manager is going to want to build a dynasty at Swansea or stick around a while, but I imagine Giggs would turn up with a MU training tracksuit
Ryan Giggs | Interviewed for Wales job
- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

What has he done to merit a PL job? No less one where they're going to be right up against it to survive. You'd think an experienced head a la Guidolin last season would be a better route.
I think his managerial career is a disaster waiting to happen. I don't think players would respect him given his horrible personality. If the players don't take to you then you're as good as finished.

If I recall correctly, didn't Swansea's owners turn him down last time 'round, mate?
Apparently so, people say the chairman is actually a big Giggs fan and really does rate him as a potential manager. Which if that is the case I would be a lot more comfortable with him taking over (as long as Guidolin gets a fair crack).
The point wasn't that Giggs is a tip manager but that you can't complain about his lack of experience when you have in the past appointed a player with little managerial experience and what was Rodgers' experience? His failure at reading and Watford? He won't ever manage at United but he could be good enough for a side with lesser aspirations.
I don't think Giggs is a person who has struggled to make friends with footballers. They probably don't care about his extra curricular activities.
I get your point, in the past the club has used up and coming managers. The landscape has completely changed though, we are not in league 2 or 1, we're in the richest football league in the world.
Rodgers didn't have a playing career, he worked at Chelsea as a coach, was highly rated by Mourinho and had worked at 2 clubs as the man in charge. Also failure at Watford? Reading paid a million to get him! And finally, we weren't a Premiership side, we were in the championship (promotion looking unlikely at the time)
So if Rodgers is willing to drop down a league, why can't Giggs?
And how do you know Giggs will never be good enough for Manchester United, but he's good enough for Swansea now?
I don't think Guidolin in a bad manager
Polish press are reporting he wants to manage Legia Warsaw. They just fired the manager and are looking for replacement.
On the other hand...who in their right minds would hire Giggs to manage EPL side. The guy has zero experience. It took Phelan 20 years to land his first temporary job and i think he earned it. Giggs not so much.

He'll end up at Valencia....
He doesn't make it easier either by benching Gylfi or playing him on the left to favor the much more defensive approach. I'd think that you'd want Gylfi and Llorente to click asap.
Giggs on talksport yesterday saying he has had ''no contact from Swansea City.''

'Ryan Giggs would be interested in managing Swansea if the club parted company with boss Francesco Guidolin.' According to BBC Sport. Talk about knifing a manager in the back. I wish Swansea fans luck if he were to take over.
Said no one, ever.
So they are planning to replace an experienced and top quality (small club type) of manager with a rookie who cant keep it in his pants? Good luck to that
We had Mike Phelan jokes till he proved himself. Now we have Giggs. Redcafe is a weird fan community!
Monk was also unexperienced and did a great job initially, Guardiola relatively unexperienced too and then built one of the best teams ever, not saying Giggs has it in him but sometimes it turns out well. He also played under Fergie for so long, so I guess he's got different experience, he's Welsh etc... that Italian was strange appointment, why not to try something else..
on a other note I think that for example Rio could be better manager than Giggs
Guidolin's a very good coach I think. Swansea need to have a real good think before firing someone like him, odds of finding someone vastly better are slim.
I swear Giggs has said he hasn't had contact and that he's taking a break, yet all these made up stories.
The usual Giggs fanboys are already gathering to pledge their allegiance to his cause. Soon enough Gary Neville and his brother will do the same

Robson, the ultimate fanboy.
yeah i'm sure he's said he's happy working in media etc at the moment and it's disrespectful to talk about a job when there's a manager there
Yep... very respectful our Ryan
how dare you. name one time he's ever lied about anything important ever.Yep... very respectful our Ryan
ok you got me
sorry just the notion of Giggs thought process.....I'll shag my brother's wife for so many years....but talk about a job before the manager is sacked.....no sir-ee - I'm not going to cross that line
His people are certainly trying to put pressure on Swansea to pull the trigger on Guidolin.

I don't see why we wouldn't want the best for Giggs. If he goes somewhere like Swansea and succeeds that can only be a good thing.
What has Mike Phelan proved exactly ?
Hope he gets appointed. Want to see what he can do. If he does well, that would be a step in the right direction and i would be happy for him.
If he does get the Swansea job then I hope he develops some sort of personality as he comes across as very dull on TV
its football not strictly come dancing ffs
Yes but he is so boring!!!!!!!
This really.
yeah. I don't know why some people are trying to take the piss on this. We should all wishing him to land such a job and do well.
My dream scenario would be Giggs being our own Guardiola in some ways. Played for us and manage us some day and become successful. If he goes to Swansea, does a decent job he might start attracting bigger PL clubs in the league like Poch and Koeman and the journey is on.
Why would he take another Premier League job?
He's the most celebrated player at Man Utd. Most appearances, most medals.
Why get into management and all the stresses that come with it? Not one Fergie era player has been a truly successful manager. He has no chance of replicating that success either away from United or maybe eventually with United.
Taking the Swansea job would be a worse idea than Solskjaer taking the Cardiff one. And that was absolutely crazy.

Because he has ambitions of being a successful manager.
