We won't be offloading Giggs, that's for certain. If Giggs is offloaded, it will be him doing the offloading.

It would be terrible if Giggs went to United. The last 12 months will have been for nothing. I think we're in a great position to qualify for Euro 2020, and if we have to start again, that would be thrown into jeopardy! It's in jeopardy with Giggs

They want Pocchetino, but they won't get him now.
I'd suggest they'll probably work on him until the end of the season, hoping to get him in the summer (dependent on how Spurs' season goes). If the don't get him, Zidane will probably be 2nd choice seeing as his self-appointed 12 month exile from football is up come June!
I doubt Giggs would go there knowing he'll only get until the end of the season, he's already had the experience of tiding them over once, and that led to nothing. Would he leave his first permanent high-profile managerial job for a temp position? I doubt it.
...but being Giggs, I wouldn't bet my wages on him not taking it either!!

As a curveball, does anyone think that with the right assistants/coaches etc. he could do both jobs until the end of the season and we’ll benefit from him having extra experience running one of the biggest clubs in the country?

He wants it, no doubt about that. He is right now giving glaring looks in the direction of Old Trafford at the encumbent who is going to take the caretaker role that is rightfully his. Problem for Giggs is Man United are a "don't call us, we'll call you" club and Giggs phone is only busy gathering dust.

You may well be right - but think what sort of wages he'd be on, just for half a season. That alone could make the difference. Plus, if he does really well (unlikely - but he's going to back himself) then might he get the job full time? Giggs would find it very difficult to turn down United even on a caretaker basis.

He's nowhere near Utd's profile. They'd be insane to even consider it but from what I've read, favourites to take over in the interim are Solskjaer and Laurent Blanc. Giggs not even on the radar.

If Solskjaer - who has achieved very little as a Manager - is favourite, why wouldn't Giggs be on their radar / near United's profile?

As long as Giggs gives absolutely everything that he's got for us then that's all we can ask for.
He has worked hard and made some ballsy decisions so far.
The first qualifier against Slovakia is huge.

Giggs doesn't need to be clever. The double-header against Denmark was perfect for us - to show that a small country can over-achieve by sticking to a standard 4-2-3-1 lineup and implementing it very well. It's not as if we don't know this already - given that our Euro 2016 success was built on the back of a couple of formations - 4-2-3-1 and the 3-4-2-1 box.
With the emergence of Ampadu, Smith and our wide players in Brooks, Wilson and Lawrence, why wouldn't we want to play a 4-2-3-1, with Ramsey in the hole? I'm not saying there aren't other formations that would work, and there's always a need for a Plan B - but there would have to be a very good reason for going for some other starting formation that has the potential of forcing square pegs into round holes.
The massive question for me is - has Giggs learnt the lessons of the Denmark (and Albania) games? Or is he still hell-bent on a gung ho approach? We won't know until March next year, which is a long time to have to wait.

I have family from all over South Wales and none of us are Welsh fluent. Are there many Welsh language papers, radio stations etc? Is it spoken in Don’t Take Me Home, Jack To A King or The Call Centre on BBC3? No. The Welsh language section is barely used on here either. I’ve met so many people watching us in the last few years and there’s only tiny pockets speaking Welsh to each other. Yes, the language must be respected but it’s not a contest. All this boils down to is a supposed moderator using a Welsh slang term to try and mock me. Imagine working with a dozen Poles who only speak Polish in the workplace. One points at you and says something who makes the others roar with laughter. You’d get upset and rightly so. My dad died when I was young and there was nobody to take me to the match. My mum had to move us away for work and I simply never got the bug to attend. I’ve lived in England since my teenage years. I financially supported my long term partner whilst she studied for a better life (she also had her daughter to raise after the sperm donor fucked her off) and that was me. We’re no longer together. My friends who attend now are single or have grown up children / understanding wives. That’s it. I went to Serbia away alone (to much ridicule from my circle in Manchester) and was hooked. After help paying off a chunk of my mortgage when my mum sold the old family home, I’m financially solvent and able to live well now. To be constantly slagged for never getting to go as a young man is upsetting. Working class families in Wales struggle to put food on the table. We had nothing in Pembrokeshire. I find returns emotional and difficult. If I continue to get spoken down to like this then the powers that be can terminate my account on the forum. I’m done. Its not a contest - but you cleary have a problem with the Welsh Language. Seen you on Twitter having a go at the barry horns for tweeting in welsh alone. Don’t quite get your point on English speaking programs/films not having Welsh either- its like saying Radio Cymru or S4c doesn’t have any English Comparison with our national language and a foreign language is also nonsense. Admire your story and good luck on your journey but you’re views are pretty narrow minded and misconceived Welsh is spoken first language by 10 - 12% of the country with high volumes of those in North Wales. Two thirds of Welsh people don’t speak it at all. RE: Y Barry Horns. He was blatantly putting it through Google translate to try and show off. Remember that Welsh FA things are bilingual. They should be too. If you’re stalking me online then you may know I have a CYMRU tattoo on my forearm. I purposely chose it in Welsh for some authenticity. I had it done in Manchester and one in two locals knew what it meant. The average age of a Premier League spectator is 48. There’s a reason for that. I now have the money and time to attend. Doing these matches alone was daunting but I was befriended quickly and am looking forwards to seeing new friends again soon. My contribution to this thread is over. Merry Christmas.

The first qualifier against Slovakia is huge. Agree that Giggs shown that he has a huge pair in some of the decisions that he has made and that the first qualifier against Slovakia is huge. But he has worked hard (and will give absolutely everything) ?? What makes you think that he has been a tireless grafter for Wales in his first year in the job?

I'm not sure, but I think to execute his tactics and change our style of play he's had to work hard. He's tried to do things his own way, and the players have been given a lot of new information in a short(ish) space of time. I hope it all comes together now for the qualifiers.

If Solskjaer - who has achieved very little as a Manager - is favourite, why wouldn't Giggs be on their radar / near United's profile? With hindsight, you are right. I think I had overlooked his credentials with Molde! They're certainly not outstanding. He has experience on his side I guess, a fair bit more than Giggs and he's managed a PL side, even if it did end in disaster (not that it's held anyone else back in that regard). Also, apparently Molde are very clear that this is a temporary "loan" deal (he's managed the reserves before apparently). I will have to eat my words on this one. I'd never have expected them to go for someone like this... I thought Wenger, Lopetegui, Zidane would have been on speed dial to try and climb up that table. I thought they'd be insane to consider someone of a similar mould to Giggs... perhaps they are, after all 😮

It's bound to be talked about in salford by the class of 92. United seem leaderless for The top. Back to Giggs I think he knows he needs to prove himself and here is his chance. He is here for his contract and we see after that.

Great program on S4c just now celebrating 30 years of Sgorio. There was old footage of Del Piero and Ruud Gullit trying to speak Welsh, as well as a lot of our players saying 'diolch' after the Euros. At the end there was a string of players (not all of them Welsh speakers) giving their birthday wishes to the Sgorio. Every single one did it in Welsh, apart from Giggs.

I've got access to the FAW management WhatsApp group. I thought that I would post a recent conversation.
Osian: Hey guys, fancy catching some football together over the Christmas break? Giggs: Sorry m8, I'm busy then. Osian: I didn't say when? How about 3pm on Saturday? Giggs: Sure. Salford are at home. Meet you all down the clubhouse beforehand. Osian: I was thinking more about watching Welsh players. Jonathan: Ryan, we've talked about this. It is a requirement of your post to meet Welsh fans and watch Welsh footballers play. Giggs: Mr. Ford, you know that meeting Welsh football fans isn't my thing. Giggs: Anyway, I've got problems with the Bentley at the moment. Can't leave Manchester :-( Osian: Don't you also have a Range Rover as well? Strudwick: I can pick you up / drop you off from Salford if you like. Osian: We can go and watch those young lads coming through at Swansea. Giggs: Is there anything closer? I want to be home in time for Strictly. Giggs: Ramsey. I meant Ramsey. Bloody predictive text. To watch Ramsey on the telly. Tony Roberts: Davies is playing for Barnsley today. Giggs: What? Ben Davies has left Swansea? Why wasn't I briefed on this? Osian: ADAM Davies m8. We could go and watch the third choice keeper, I suppose. Giggs: OK then. Agreed. Although, can you pick me you from my hotel? I've got some 'meet and greets' with Man U fans beforehand. Stuivenburg: Soz. I can't make it :-( Currently at home in the Netherlands. We should plan to go and watch Matt Smith at FC Twente sometime. Although that would mean an overnight in Amsterdam. Giggs: An overnight in Amsterdam, that would work for me ;-) ;-) Jonathan: Expenses isn't for that type of thing Ryan.
[Osian left the conversation] [Giggs left the conversation] [Studwick left the conversation] [Stuivenberg left the conversation]
Trefor Lloyd-Hughes: If there is an all-expenses paid trip to Amsterdam, I'd be interested in going.

Who were they playing? Was it just Davies that was Welsh? Don’t mean to be nasty but Hennessey is our number 1, Ward is the next in line. If Davies gets 10 Welsh caps I’ll be shocked.
