    That’s all this boils down to.
    All what? Youre the one who bumped the thread and named me personally.

    Page has done OK, but Giggs would have done better.

      Page has done OK is as good as it’s going to get isn’t it - best leave it there I reckon

        When Page qualifys for his own finals and then gets out of the group he will get more credit from me. Its not that difficult to get out of a stage where up to 75% of the group qualify. Not when you have two genuinely world class players in your starting 11. Giggs qualified out of the qualifying group without Ramsey too. Far better achievement.
        That's as may be, but didn't Wales qualify in the top 50%?

          You have to judge him mainly on his record as a league manager and he was completely indifferent as a manager at Port Vale and Northampton where he lost more games than he won at both clubs.For Wales he has been a bit better but one win one lucky draw and one defeat isn't exactly great paticularly when the win was against crap Turkey.

          Beat Denmark and there is a case for him staying on as Wales manager but I would not even consider him for Cardiff. Might be one of these types who is a better number two like Trollope.

            What I will say in his defence the jobs at Northampton and Port Vale are going to be difficult for most managers.

            A manager is only as good as the players at his disposal and that’s probably why he’s done better with the national side than he has at club level. He’s certainly benefited, like Coleman, in having 2 genuine world class players fit and ready.

            Also, he’s a caretaker manager in unique circumstances so certainly the first few games the tactics were Ryan Giggs picking the team and tactics, he said as much himself afterwards. That’s not to say Giggs should take all the credit, it was an annoyance of mine that Gary Speed was / is still taking most of the credit for Chris Coleman’s achievements.

            If we get to the QF I think Page can take credit, but if we get knocked out Saturday it will be a lucky draw and a win against the worst team in the tournament in 4 games. Nothing to get too excited about, or give too much credit for. Seeing as we are ranked in the top 16 teams in Europe then getting to the last 16 should be par for the course.

                We are so reliant on Bale and Ramsey being on the top of their game.

                Im concerned with a manager who picks Chris Gunter , selects a Luton reserve and thinks Rodon/Mepham is a superb partnership.

                Saying that ive no idea really how good Page is.

                City had stick off some for our 2nd half display v Swansea despite restricting them to 1 short on target and creating the best chance. Whereas Wales get a free pass being dominated by Italy in 3rd gear and even subbing their keeper.
                Bit or irony when MM leaves Wilson on the bench there is accusations of not playing flair , when Page leaves Brookes and Wilson out first eleven not so 🤔.

                And retrospectively Vaulks should have gone instead of Jonny Williams??

                  Erm, bit of a difference in levels and quality of team mates?!?!?. There’s players being selected for Wales ahead of Wilson who are far superior.

                  That comparison ranks as more ridiculous on this thread than TOBWs Page to Fergie / Stein

                  As for Vaulks he’s not an international player in a million years.

                        I’d have the Danish coach over him.

                          Seems clueless to make any changes to the formation to counter Denmark's threat.

                          So it's a No from me.

                            Not sure what tactical change to the formation would have made any difference today Denmark were just so much better than us. Needed Bale and Ramsey to have good games for us today and they were ordinary verging on poor.

                              More chance of him making a good Cardiff one than a Wales one
