    He's going to have to manage the Welsh squad and get the best out of them. If Bale and Ramsey think he's the man for the job, I'm inclined to defer to them.
    If he'd lost every game would it have been irrelevant? I'll not claim to be the greatest expert on MLS, watch games when they are on Sky though. Plenty of their fans want him out and have questioned tactical inflexibility.

    So, if Wales under Robinson have a disastrous Euro qualifying, should he not be fired because the players want him kept on? No team or nation can have the tail wagging the dog.

    So you place your trust in the FAW?

    Not really, with silly "won't be English" comments.

    You can't have players dictating who should or shouldn't be manager. Never. What's their motivation - do they rate him as a manager ( how can they when they've never played under him ), do they think he's a mate, do they think they'll always have a guaranteed place in the side under him...

    I should imagine as professionals, they've seen something they like. I would hope so anyway.

    Don't get me wrong, I hope if he gets the job he does a good job. I just fear the "former Welsh international gets manager role" tactic isn't a long term success plan.
