If there’s enough internet noise before the announcement they may think again
We owe it to our country to add as much fuel to this fire as we can
Maybe stunning victories in China will convince Glazers to fire Mopey Mourinho and hire Gleeful Giggs.
Why do you think he would stop doing that if he had got the job? After all, it's hardly as if the team he'd be managing was playing Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday is it. I would hope that he would have still wanted to be involved in the other age groups if he had become manager.
Sadly for all us Welsh football fans it does look Giggs has got the job:

Fergie says he does thus making your point redundant

So Giggs will try to get Wales into the next World Cup and Euros.
But who will manage us for all those friendlies in between tournaments?
This point is gonna be batted back and fiorth like a tennis ball, because of your failure to understand the point I’m making.
I’m not doubting Giggs ability as a player and all the trophies he has won. He did it surrounded by top class players though, with little “winning mentality” when it came to his country.
He was shit scared of Fergie, and didn’t have the balls to stand upto him.
Anyone can have winning mentality at a top club, in there comfort zone.
Bellamy on the other hand was a footballing nomad, who showed his desire to win everywhere he played, Be it Liverpool, Celtic, Man City or Norwich.
Ok, he has no where near as many trophies as Giggs, but he is his own man, backs down to nobody, and loved playing for his country, and gave 100% for clubs and country.
Big name, ex Manu star under Fergie.
Could be a great appointment, or could be on a par with Ole for us.
If we had made the WC it would have made it more lucrative (stating the obvious I know) but Coleman wouldn't have left.
Now we have a vacancy I'd like us to get the beat possible person in for the job, I suspect a lot of people could be put off by the sort of wage we can offer (just a hunch)
I'd take Bellamy over Giggs any day. I'd also prefer Robinson out of the lot and keep OR in his position..wouldnt grumble if we appointed OR either as he's obviously talented.
A manager's relationship with players is different to a coach's relationship.
Giggs worries me because he didn't really seem like he was enjoying playing for Wales - although he often came out and stated that, even if he could play for England, he would have chosen Wales, I have a suspicion that it is as token a statement as kissing a badge. Giggs also worries me because he has been isolated from the ugly parts of football all his life. One club, one country (with his club dictating conditions in which he could play).
Even if he gets the Wales job, he has never set foot outside of those two organisation, MUFC and Wales apart from his early years in Man City.
Unlike Bale, it always felt that Wales should be privileged to have Giggs playing for them and giving them his valuable time. He never came across as being part of a group (ok, maybe the same could be said at Man U - but he did seem to be part of the Beckham/Scholes/Neville pact). I'm not convinced he has taken even a passing interest in the Welsh U21s and U18s - again I could be wrong and I would hope the FAW appointing him means that I am wrong.
This appears nothing more than a step onto the managerial roundabout for me. The one thing I would add, though, is that Giggs needs it to be a success.
Not blessed with managerial options and obviously not everyone's choice, but Coleman wasn't my fave for the job and he did alright.
Was CC a master tactician? I think not but the players listened and reacted to him as he was a good player at the highest level, which is important.
Giggs's playing credentials and trophies need no bigging up and he is used to winning.
He has experience under great managers, probably one of the best ever and has also managed, albeit for a short period.
Personally I think that's why they've gone with Giggs over Bellamy.
I don't buy into this he lacks passion as he never turned up for friendlies nonsence. If he gets the job, he will try his best to succeed, as most people in a new job would.
If/when Giggs is unveiled, let's get behind him.
One thing that has occurred to me. Perhaps Bellamy wanted to appoint his own team - and that team would be minus Osian Roberts. Perhaps Giggs is happy to keep Osian Roberts? All speculation of course.
It's my opinion that this happened. It's not stated as fact. The players will make up their own minds too won't they.
I don't think the past will have anything to do with how he approaches a managerial role though, he's not going to take the job knowing the risks if he isn't going to go about it in a professional way, is He?
