Chris Coleman

[Pedro de la Rosa]

I have always said this, most managers would have done well with the team he has, lets face it, Bale, Rambo and Joe allen are all playing really well, add to that a fair number of players who are really playing the game for Wales

Could Cookie have got is wrong ? ? ?

Regardless if he had good players, he did it. We've had good players before, and failed. Coleman didn't. There's a lot of re-writing of history going on at the moment.

Yep.

Look back at previous generations that never made it - players like Rush Hughes Giggs were world class players who never got to play in a major tournament.

Strange to think that after taking Wales to a semi final some people still think Coleman doesn’t deserve any credit for it.

Indeed. At his peak, Rush was arguably the best striker in the world. We also had (again arguably) the best keeper in the world in big Nev.

Certainly Rush was different class to Vokes and HRK
Giggs was probably equal to Bale
Hughes v Rambo?
Southall v Hennessey? - no contest imho

Yorath also had Dean Saunders and Gary Speed

Yorath did better than most managers, with some great players, but still didn't manage to achieve what Coleman did. Should be knighted imho

Coleman has done a good job but is obviously now playing a waiting game before his contract ends in the summer. If he gets offered a Premiership/good Champion League Club abroad or perhaps a top Championship club he will go and quadruple his salary at least. If he doesn't get a suitable offer, he'll stay with Wales?

Coleman has failed miserably.
We were the highest ranked team in our group, and came 3rd.
The highest ranked European team not going to Russia.
Bale, Ramsey, Davis and Allen, think what the other home nation managers could achieve with those in their squad!
