I must admit I find the whole thing baffling. I don’t know where this idea that Robert’s is some sort of leading light in the coaching world comes from.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d take him over Bulut any day of the week, but some of the plaudits he gets on here seem well over the top to me.
Is that first question serious? I am really struggling to answer your claim he isn't well respected in the football world? There's so much evidence to the contrary.

He was a number 1 in the MLS aged 28 so not exactly a new comer to this management lark.

We've already discussed the jobs he did with wales and morroco. Hardly unknown success stories on the international stage.

Of course he is always in danger of being seen as more of a guru/mentor type figure than the main one but certainly his comments about being wales manager seem that's an image he is keen to shake off.

There's no chance he's coming to CCFC anyway but I'm surprised he hasn't been swansea manager before and probably will be in the near future. If wales can ditch page to get him in before that happens that would be great though.
