    That was my point above. Coleman has done an incredible job with us, no two ways about it but I do feel both us and him need a change now. A bit of a freshen up.

    He's too close and pally with the players we have, and while that worked wonders for a few years, it will hinder us going forward. Unless he decides to go and change it all up completely, with a new style and new personnel. Is that within him?

    Everyone forgets the influence of the excellent Osian Roberts in all this. He's an excellent coach who is training other top coaches, so we will hopefully always have Osian alongside whoever is Manager.

    This is absolutely the feeling I have too. With genuine respect to Coleman and his achievements.
    But, I do wonder who the hell 'we' (or rather, they) would end up replacing Coleman with.

    There really is no obvious stand out successor to Coleman that I can see.

    Pulis says he’s not interested at the moment, Hughes is unlikely to return. Giggs and Bellamy would be a big gamble as they have no managerial experience. Osian Roberts is very much a coach. The FAW have never employed a foreign manager, other than a few English ones.
    I think we are better off sticking with Coleman until one of the young Welsh candidates are ready.
