Cookie - Should He Stay? (106 views)

End of a campaign that ended in huge disappointment. Coleman is now out of contract. The question is does he want to stay or with his profile still high after his recent exploits with Wales sold he leave and chance his arm with a potential club elsewhere?

What do you think? And if he does go, who should the FAW be looking to realistically bring in?

Personally, I hope he stays, but I do think he will leave. Its a shame, but he's earned the right to make his own decision.

I think the FAW will end up looking at bringing in someone like Giggs or Bellamy, which isnt great as they have no experience. I'd prefer it if they went for someone like Carl Robinson, who has done a fantastic job in charge of Vancouver Whitecaps, has experience, and would no doubt be interested in the position.

Carl Robinson is doing a good job with Vancouver this season but struggled last year. Looks a young progressive manager my concerns are will he have the respect of the players? and does he have the personality to influence the side? But if Cookie does go he must be in the running.

it depends first of all if Coleman stays. plenty of arguements both ways. no Premier League job available now. i personally would love him to stay, most importantly the players feel that way too regardless of not qualifiying

Following on from the news this afternoon of the managerial vacancy at Leicester City then you would think Chris Coleman will be a manager they will be interested in.

Am established Premier League team now, with some decent players in their ranks. Worrying for Wales. Timing is everything.

but would he want to go to a club that has just sacked a manager a few months after getting the job?

Always felt Shakespeare was a stop-gap appointment after the turmoil of the Ranieri reign. Not sure that would put a manager off... Mind you hope it puts Cookie off!
