Thread: Chris Coleman

  1. #1

    Chris Coleman

    Did well as the Wales manager but who wouldn't have with Bale,Ramsey and Allen in the side.

    What was he thinking about taking the Sunderland job, there will be no hiding in this job ?

    Re: Chris Coleman

    He's thinking it's a safe zone for his image.

    Relegate - well, poor side he did his best but damage was done.
    Stay up - looks like he's a good manager.

    it's all about the money, there was zero chance of him getting a Prem job so went with the highest paying one that actually wanted him.

    Yeah I agree with that. Problem is he has form as a poor club manager, probably his last managers job.

    He will make a good commentator on sky.

    Re: Chris Coleman

    So 1 world class player, and two decent premier league players and any manager could have got Wales to a major finals, and a semi final in said finals?

    How come no other Wales manager could achieve it then? The players Terry Yorath had were far better than the ones Coleman had at his disposal.

    He created an unbelievable team spirit that is difficult to achieve at international level.

    Best of luck to him, he clearly doesn’t get the credit he deserves, not that I suppose he gives two ****s what a Jock thinks of the job he did for the Welsh national side. Add bitter, small minded Cardiff City fans who can’t look past his Swansea links to the list of people he probably doesn’t give two ****s about as well.

    He took over in extremely difficult circumstances and always carried himself with dignity, even when a dead man was getting more credit for HIS achievements.

    We've never had a stronger team than this, with the (former) most expensive player in the World, and the best British midfielder in our squad,also 24/32 teams qualify these days, we would have pissed qualification if that had been the case in the past.

    Took bollocks to make changes to the play style. Players and manager create a great spirit too.. it's lazy tojust think "he's got bale and ramsey" quite ignorant too..

    Team with Southall, Ratcliffe, Rush, Hughes, Saunders. Better squad but not as “together”

    He's done punditry work on Sky in the past.

    All I can say is that he'd fit in well on Match of the Day.

    That Yorath team used to get changed on the bus for training on dog shit park.Some top players, felt like poor relations. Fostered a decent team spirit but come up short alas.

    Not really "better". Maybe a larger group of real, talented individuals. A top goalie, a world class defender, three top notch strikers and no midfield. How many games did Rush, Hughes and Saunders start together?

    The way Sunderland go through managers he could well be available for Wales to play in China if they continue to be as rubbish under his watch.

    1 world class player. 1 top class premier league player. 2 / 3 decent premier league players. The rest are / we’re premier league squad men or championship. No recognised striker.

    Great job by Coleman.

    Re: Chris Coleman

    We were a good midfielder away. I agree. Playing sparky at 10 weren't the answer as game as he was. A better link man n we would have been some team. There wasn't else much for it in fairness. You got to go with what you got. Wales didnt have a team like Romania in the group this time though. They were different class.back then and would dish out a football lesson to this current crop. Also finishing second just meant you felt even more gutted, no second chance play off.

    No midfield? The midfield against Scotland in 85 included Robbie James, Peter Nicholas and Mickey Thomas. No midfield my arse.

    Those players are hardly of the calibre of Ramsey, Allen and Bale.

    I wouldn't argue with that. He deserves his payday. Just hope his reputation doesn't go completely down the pan in just a few months.

    We had Ian Rush in that side who is the calibre of Bale, Hughes was every bit as good as Ramsey, probably better, and top British players same as Ramsey and if we are talking solely midfielders then James, Thomas, David Phillips and Nicholas were every bit as good as the likes of Allen, Dave Edwards, Joe Ledley and Andy King. David Phillips played more top division games than King, Ledley and Dave Edwards put together ffs.

    You’d swear Rambo and Allen were Xavi and Iniesta they way some go on.

    Allen got a move to a big club and failed.

    A jock who watched more Wales games than most Welsh people,followed Wales long before "together stronger" in the real dark days,admittedly many as a guest .

    Bale has won game after game for Wales, you disagree ? Shows you dont know what you are watching.

    The Sunderland job is humongous, I doubt Chris Coleman has the ability to arrest their slide. Its an opinion.

    There hasnt been a Welsh player in the last 30 years who is the calibre of Bale. Not many with the ability of Ramsey either.

    The rose tinted specs as far as Ramsey is concerned on here is astonishing. Never seen him dominate a game against the likes of Chelsea, City, Man U, Liverpool.

    Steven Gerrard used to dominate big games in worse Liverpool sides than the Arsenal teams Ramsey had played in.
