Nah. If those managers and players had had the extended Euros format they'd have qualified as well. Any half reasonable side qualified, which is the ONLY reason why NI, ROI and Wales all qualified for the Euros but really had no chance of making the World Cup. If the Euros are so open again then...
Gareth Bale and an extended format for the Euros enabled them to qualify. Then Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey combined to help Wales win a few games at the Euros, they did very well there but that wasn't because of the manager. He's a bad manager and I've not forgotten his phone call to Sky Sports...
I doubt it. He must be aware that it's a miracle any club team has hired him, there's no reason to think that West Brom would have wanted him but this time last week I'd have been saying the same about Sunderland wanting him - why would they? Why would anyone?!
It's a funny one this, they started the season very well and went into the international break unbeaten. Then we thrashed them and they've really not recovered.
Pulis to Wales is a probable certainty now.
