I think a new direction with a younger manager and team might be the right path to take now, everything and everyone has a shelf life,a new vision, tactic , built around the youth, with someone like Bellamy would perhaps future proof Wales.
Allen being forced off is why we lost to Ireland, they didn't touch the ball when he was on the field
I think he will be offered a new deal no question. I not so sure he will want to sign it though. He will still be gutted just like the rest of us. This next camp might help with that. He obviously has a good bond with his players. Me personally I don't mind one bit if he stays.
When you look how many times we had the big 3 on the pitch at one time its hard. That is what makes us be able to shift up through the gears. Hopefully a way of playing without them can be put into place once and for all that doesn't include John Williams playing at 10 and Ramsey at 4.
I tuned into the Debate on Sky Sports last night, Bellamy was a guest pundit. They had a debate about Coleman amongst other topics. In typical no nonsense style Bellers believes the major issue lies between Coleman and the FAW on promises made on the back of our Euro 2016 windfall. Coleman wanted funds invested to build a purpose built training complex with gym facilities etc. Apparently this hasn't been forthcoming or at least not to the extent that Coleman/players desired due to cost and our manager has become frustrated with his bosses as he saw this as an opportunity to put an infrastructure in place that would have helped take us to the next level. Both parties are still however in talks and it could be that a compromise will be reached. I get the impression though that Coleman is very likely to call it a day and the FAW will turn to someone else who is not so forward thinking in an effort to cut costs.
I don't think he's 'clearly holding out for more money' at all. He was stating the bleeding obvious that Wales cannot afford to pay their manager at the same level as many clubs (or other international sides).
Everything I have seen and heard from and about Coleman in recent days implies there is a negotiation going on about improved training facilities and backroom staff contracts. If the FAW offer enough in those areas he may well agree to stay. If not he will go. I do not see any evidence that the FAW don't want Coleman to continue.
None of us know what is going on behind the scenes, and the FAW may be due some criticism, but overall they have got most things right since Jonathan Ford was appointed Chief Executive - from Gary Speed's appointment onwards.
Yes it is obvious.
But he wasn't even prompted to say it. He went out of his way to imply he could look elsewhere.
Ok then, well leave if you want to.
I can't remember who it was but there was an ex welsh professional on talksport with adrian durham...he is a friend of coleman and even he said he found the wording baffling.
I hope he doesn't leave and he signs a new three year deal. But if we are to move on then with the upcoming expanded Euros, this is the best chance for a new manager to come in. Not starting with another world cup campaign.
I like Coleman but this may be the right time for both to move on. Coleman is only 47 and his stock is still high so he can get 1/2 decent Premier League jobs
We also don't have a competitive game until September 2018 and that's the Nations League, our next qualifier is March 2019 and this gives the FAW enough time to find a good successor and allow him to bed in
Fake news
My understanding was that it isn't so much about his money but about promises to build for the furutre which haven't been met - - yet. What he said was if he got assurances on those things he was happy to stay.
If he goes I'm not convinced there is an obvious replacement to move us forward, not a welsh one anyway!!!!
I would have done just that mate so you know as much as me, that might not be a good thing mind. We need to nail down a consistent way of coping with what seems to be a consistent problem. Seemed a knee jerk reaction against Ireland. Any way on we go the next chapter.
Coleman will still be Wales manager unless he gets a better offer before he signs a new contract. If he goes Ryan Giggs will replace him!
