Don't panic. He could only do the best with very limited resources at Wales.

I wouldn't expect a carbon copy at Ewood.

If I were Wales manager and I had Hartson up front and a naff and aging central midfield I'd use long ball too

[roversfan1]

Long ball is the worst type of football but at the moment I dont care ! If it means we win games and the confidence grows then fine as thats when we will start seeing some proper football by players not scared of loosing or the critisism that follows it.

Give Hughes a chance before knocking him. He isnt even in post and people are already commenting on the tactics he MIGHT use !!

sounds similar to ewood.

Big gangly Hartson nodding down for little nippy Earnshaw is basically playing to your strengths isn't it?

Don't see how we'd even consider playing longball given our strikeforce.

[Ossydave]

either way hes a first class pr!ck

I don't think he prances round the Golden Cross with a Strongbow beanie hat on though on a Friday night

I'm not writing him off or anyting, but the importance of getting a manager who prefers the modern style of football cant be stressed enough..

Why? Is there still some dust on it?

Has Souness took the cleaners with him to Newcastle too?

Wales FA have announced a 3:30 press conference to announce the future of the Wales National team manager. Watch it on Sky Sports News

[Dufflite]

There is a press conference at the Welsh FA at 3.30pm. Talk Sport are covering it. Looks like the rumours were right.

Talksport;

Stream it here

or if you're in the office with a tranny 1089 or 1053 AM

[T4E]

Slightly uneasy that its the FAW that are holding a press conference, and not Rovers. Granted its probably because Rovers have gone through the correct channels, but part of me cant help thinking this is going to be a denial?

Does he spit when talking? Surely sounds like it...

The guy on talksport, not you Paul..

Not guilty your honour, I havent seen SteB for days..........

[promoted2001]

I think the odds are that it may be denial. Why would they say his going to rovers and rovers not announcing anything.

But the odds are also high that they are simply announcing that blackburn have asked permission to talk to him and that wales have let them.

[Hughesy]

I think the reason Wales are holding a press conference and not Blackburn is because it is a national manager.

If Sven was set to leave for a club, im sure you would see England holding the press conference 1st.
