A very poor side that depended entirely on 1 man, who now seems to be on the wane.

Agree with you about Coventry. He did alright at Craven Cottage before that though. They were a solid Premier League team at the time with some very good players.
They will get through to the next Euros, its a myth they dont have a good side.
Not getting to the play offs at least for the WC was an utter failure
Rubbish.
Davies, Williams, Ramsey, Allen etc all solid PL players
They have Championship standard players as well, but so do Iceland/Denmark/Sweden

Don't forget Vokes. We'll see if Williams form improves if and when Everton bring in a new manager. His form this season has been woeful by his standards.
Coleman did well to make his achievement seem much better than it actually was.

Semi-final of a major tournament, having topped their group and destroyed one of the more fancied teams en route.

The highest ranked Welshman - assuming they want one of their countrymen in charge - is probably Tony Pulis.
Whether he'd want that gig or not is another matter.

You can reliably assume that the opposite of whatever BG says is closest to the truth

Doubt it, Wales failed to qualify for the WC and Luton are in great position to challenge for the league 2 title

Is Pullis ahead of Mark Hughes. I think he probbaly is but Hughes perhaps is the more glamour appointment. If we thrash Stoke on Monday could be be a quick sacking at the Britannia and then Hughes is avalible.

He's had the gig before. A wise re-appointment? Not sure.

This was a bad choice of job for him. Luton played a high pressing possession game, Stoke have been built for years as the opposite of that, doomed to fail. He will get another League 1 job soon enough with the chance to rebuild his reputation, hopefully he will learn his lesson with regards to leaving a good thing too early.

Can't believe he thought taking this job was a good idea. He's on a hiding to nothing, will get the chop soon enough, unfortunately. Atleast he can take a massive pay cheque to set him up for life ultimately.

Should of stayed at Luton but I do wonder if he has been found out. He may be just another of your favourites who fall by the way side......bit like Dean Wilkins. By the way was Graham Potter on your radar to take over when CH was sacked? I had barely heard of him but I'm glad Tony Bloom and his gang knew more than us. Better than the usual boring appointments, he's a bit Leftfield and unconventional.

I don't think you can say that, Nathan is obviously very ambitious, there was no guarantee Luton were going to win promotion to the Championship when the offer from Stoke came along, Stoke are a bigger club, with more moneyto spend and recent Premier League experience. I don't think anyone could blame him for making that choice.
Having said that, this will be a make or break season for him, his honeymoon period there is very much over, he put his stamp on what he wanted to achieve by bringing in several new faces, and he now has to deliver..

Jonesy will still be okay even if he does get moved on, as for Deano he was a great coach just not pc enough allegedly, great to see you back our ex-players still.
Of course, it wasn't my job to scout for a Potter through the football leagues to find the next Albion manager.
But what I will say he fits exactly the role I wanted from an Albion manager, you could say I was ahead of Tony on this one.
But TB did have more at stake than me and I have no doubt when lining up Ashworth he was looking for a new manager to work with him and with the appalling second half of the season I always thought he would go.
TB has the foresight that's why he builds what he builds.
You were always happy with what Hughton was doing, we just think different.
