"Football Association of Wales president Steve Williams has moved quickly to remove doubts over Page's future.
Williams said: "The FAW can confirm Rob Page is their manager for the forthcoming campaign in accordance with his contract.
"Rob is the manager. His contract runs to the end of the World Cup and that is how we continue to work." "

Giving him the Bulut would have been harsh in my view.Quote:

For the best me thinks if that report is true
He appears to have the players playing for him and plays the right way too a bit like Bulut in many ways but sadly for us we haven't got the quality that Page has at his disposal
Yeah I guess Coleman was hardly a great manager was he? I guess many might say he didn’t need to be with the squad he had and a star like bale…
Plays the right way? We hit long balls to Kieffer all night, its no wonder he was knackered by the hour mark fighting for 50-50 balls against two big Poles all night.Quote:

A mistake giving Page a contract beyond the Euros as there is no market for his services other than Wales so they could have waited until the end of the Euro qualifying campaign before making a decision.
an insight how page utilises Keiffer in certain games . here an example exactly what he did last night and tactics generally . Hi Knows the game inside out a coaching masterclass video here to explain .Quote:

Oh God we've lost millions by no qualifying, we can't afford a pay off and a quality Manager would want a lot more money anyway.
The fact youve had to go back 3 years to find a "coaching masterclass" from Rob Page says it all. :hehe::hehe:Quote:

Was madness giving him that contract.
I suppose the pool of Welsh managers who we could afford after paying him off isn't too deep.
Nor should he go , decent lad, doing a decent job. Wales did extremely well to get where the did without the big old stars of the past.
Yesterday will be a massive leaning curve for those Welsh youngsters, if they don't kick on to better things after that result, perhaps they were not likely to progress any further as individuals and a team.
Irrelevant whether he's a decent lad, and you set a very low bar if you think he's doing a decent job. Time and time again Page's selection and tactics have been found wanting. When he does stumble across a plan that works (Finland) he promptly abandons it (Poland).Quote:

That was my take on it. The FAW backed themselves into a corner with that contract. If he does well they can't get rid and if he does badly they can't afford to get rid.Quote:

That or they're completely skint because Mooney has run the FAW into the ground.
What would happen if we had a talented manager ?
That's what I'd be asking myself.
The last euros were dire. The World Cup was a complete embarrassment. This qualifying campaign was ultimately a failure. He ****ed it against Armenia.
I don't see what he is trying to build exactly. I don't see any direction or coherence.
His philosophy is to nick a goal and hope we can hold on. Or at least that's what it feels like.
How has mooney run the faw into the ground ?Quote:
