They're proactively reaching out left right and centre, be assured. Which is easily and not to be confused with hopelessly scrambling & bumping into each other like clowns. While lying & covering their own asses.Quote:

I'd say he didn't even realise he was spouting such waffle. It's endemic within a certain type of manager these days.
It is, but these lads are supposed to get a football manager to come work for them at some stage. Football, not corporate laddering. Do the managers hear this & back off ? I dunno, my spoofer radar goes nuclear soon as I hear it anyway.Quote:

Will be 73 in October; Trap was 74 when he left the Ireland job.

By it appealling to him I'd say he's looking at a set up like Trap. Let me show up when there's a game but in-between I'm chilling at home in Italy.Quote:

Interesting to see Wales becoming part of a very small club tonight - teams that failed to score in a game against Gibraltar. Wasn't that long ago they were being put up on a pedestal as a team we should aspire to in terms of how they bring in young players etc. But their post Bale and Ramsay generation is coming to nothing under Rob Page, who is looking a very poor manager now with Bale gone and Ramsay way past his best.
A good example as to why an inexperienced manager who is little more than a yes man for the association is something we really need to avoid with this appointment.
That's maybe a little bit harsh, no?
Took four points off Croatia in Euro qualifying, then hammered a vaguely decent Finland 4-1 in the Euro playoffs and lost to Poland on penalties then in a fairly tight game. 9 games unbeaten and yeah, drawing against Gibraltar is a bad result (I don't know does a touch of June-itis come in?) but the other results were all ones in that run were reasonable results.
Stephen Kenny wouldn't be looking too good compared to that ? !Quote:
