Didn’t like him when he was a player, especially considering his Cardiff connections
However I’m starting to warm to him now, especially on listening to his last few interviews.
I think given time, he’ll end up being a very good manager at club level too.
 
I think he's probably wise enough now to recognise that he was a bit of a twat when he was younger. Most people grow up eventually but some take longer than others.
 
He had a number of bullying accusations against him when he was a youth coach at Cardiff, I would be the first to say that I wasn't impressed with him being handed the Wales job but all in all he has done an excellent job since. The real question for him now is if he can handle the week in week out man management and pressures of a domestic club compared to the more occasional pressures of an international team coach.

It's kind of funny how before being the international manager was seen as the harder gig and the bigger achievement
In recent years at least for most international sides its the other way around now.

Yea good post, at times he does seem right on the edge. He seems to quite obsessive so generally i think he'd prefer day to day involvement of club management. He implied he'd be at a loose end between now and March.
