According to BBC Radio Wales this morning, Mr Giggs actually sent someone to monitor the Welsh contingent at Swansea City on Saturday. What an insightful coach he is, certainly keeps his finger on the pulse of Welsh football. Maybe he's reading this thread š I would have thought someone from the FAW certainly reads or even posts on this forum.

Cause he's under contract with them for 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. Maybe it was his day off! Does your manager in work never have a day off? There's more to being an international manager than watching your player's like a hawk.

Such a pity that his days off always fall when a Welsh footballers are playing, Welsh fans are in their club houses and Welsh kids are in school.

To be fair though the work heād have to do on his āday offā wouldnāt be stacking shelves for 8 hours or plastering a wall at 8am itās watching a game of football. If Man United were in the champions league final Iād understand, but heās going to watch their huge game against Brighton as theyāre desperately trying to get into 5th position. If he didnāt show his face for Wales players I doubt anyone would care, I was never concerned where Coleman was, the issue is heās more concerned about Man United despite the fact we pay him. If heās got time for football make it one relevant to Wales or important Man United matches, not act like a Man United season ticket holder neglecting your cushy but highly paid job.

If any manger needs to win his first qualifying game is Giggs. As much as o think the critizm is harsh he does not help himself. I assume there is a lot of work being done which we don't see.

Did we have a daily update on Colemanās whereabouts when he was manager? Yes. Usually in the bar waiting for the washing machine repair guy to call (##Sarcasm Alert##) Some of the criticisms of Giggs are harsh but he invites this nonsense with some of the stuff he comes out with. He doesn't help himself with the comments such as not watching Bale because he doesn't have Eleven Sports (still can't believe this wasn't a spoof report). I'm sure he doesn't care what ordinary fans think which is an attribute you need as a top player but he won't get much patience from fans if qualifying begins badly. Coleman got awful stick early on (justifiably in my view) for some of the performances but he always went out of his way to work with fans, schools and promote the country in his media appearances. He deserves an awful lot of credit for that and pretty much redefined what it means to be national team manager. Giggs' lukewarm and noncommittal approach is very much a step backwards. Giggs would do well to keep in mind the Welsh maxim 'Gwnewch y pethau bychain' - Do the little things. Doing the things we expect of him as manager - and importantly being seen to do them - will earn him goodwill and respect. The radical step of actually watching Welsh players in action may even help him in his coaching and selection decisions. Who knows?

Guys, not being funny but very few of our players play for the same club, so going to watch one game where a player might not even play is pretty pointless.

Has anyone asked the FAW whether Giggs is contracted as Wales' full time manager? It almost seems like he's part time, sharing it with other roles at Salford City and Man Utd. If he is part-time - make that clear. If so, a backward step, but at least we know what has been agreed.

If he didn't a) miss friendlies for us and b) shag an in law, then no one would care what he does in between matches. Let it go.

Does he get paid by Man United? It seems heās got a job he doesnāt care about 99% of the time and some accept that because heās āpart timeā, yet he supports Man United and will go to the end of the earth for them even though they donāt want him as manager. His priorities are completely messed up.

His priorities are completely messed up. Ā£500k for a part-time job, great work if you can get it. It's possible he doesn't like spending too much time in Cardiff after his antics, his Welsh family were not happy with him getting the Wales job. There are plenty of other places in Wales he could visit and show his face though.

I don't think Giggs could be any shitter as an ambassador for our country. The only time we hear about him is a week before a Wales game and then he buggers off with the Mancs for the rest of the time. I never wanted him in the first place as manager, he has always treated our national team as an afterthought and if he doesn't beat Slovakia in the first game, I want the arsehole out.
Everything I saw coming, has become true and he seems totally out of his depth. Let's not forget that we lost to Albania because of how inept he is. A win against a terrible China and two wins against a weakened Ireland means fuck all when his tactics keep getting found out by more experienced coaches. He needs to fuck off asap.

It's too early to say he should fuck off. He will have at least half the campaign, but the FAW should probably be thinking about a Plan B to bring someone in midway through if he continues to fuck up against semi-decent opposition. I'm expecting Croatia and Slovakia to get the better of us under Giggs' stewardship unfortunately
