Speed in no hurry to apply for Wales post

Wales, entering a period that their captain Gary Speed yesterday described as „massive for the future of Welsh football“, are in danger of having tomorrow night’s vital World Cup qualifier against Poland best place buy canada goose jacket toronto overshadowed by speculation over who will succeed Mark Hughes as their manager.

John Toshack, the bookmakers’ favourite and believed to be the preferred choice of the Football Association of Wales board, continues to alienate members of the Wales coaching and playing staff in his role as a television pundit. Robbie Savage has questioned the credentials of a manager who has not been employed in British football „for about 20 years“.

If Wales were not to win against Poland, which would all but end their hopes of finishing second in the group, then some players will probably retire regardless. An appointment of Toshack could enlarge the numbers willing to walk away. Given the small number of best canada goose jacket style players Wales have, even a limited walk-out would have significant repercussions.

The FAW has made no further black canada goose parka statement on the subject, but it is understood that up to seven serious candidates have applied.

„The Welsh FA will have to make a decision and it will come round soon but as a footballer you can not think about those things. After Wednesday’s game I will talk about the manager situation. It needs somebody to come in and carry on the work that we have been doing. They will have their own ideas and things but with Wales a lot of it is about team spirit and togetherness. Without that you are fighting a losing battle.“
