Giggs named Wales manager

I wonder if Shagger Giggs is taking lessons and, failing to come up with a sentence in Welsh, is being tutored to emulate a Welsh accent. I doubt if he will take a leaf out of Zab's book. Does anyone know if Giggsy eats lava bread? And all the time I thought the Welsh FA didn't want an Englishman!

I haven’t got a Welsh accent either.

There’s going to be a split amongst the fans over this. The North v South stuff or club rivalry like Cardiff v Swansea rears its ugly head from time to time; but it’ll be worse. I recall how bad it got here under Hughes.

And another thought has just struck me. Can Giggsy say LlanfairPG (full version) without recourse to a crib sheet?

I think any Welsh Manager should be given a wee test - Welsh place names, for example, and he has to tell yer where they are. Minimum score of 8 or 9 out of ten or they don't get the job!

I know it in English!

In fairness, Gary Speed and Chris Coleman didn’t have universal backing. Speed had limited experience at Sheffield United with Coleman’s career on a downward spiral at the time.

It’s only being discussed on here as Giggs is ex-United. Had he been an Everton legend then I guarantee that this thread would be minimal at best.

In fairness those 2 were not total twats.;)

Coleman went on the piss in Spain and blamed the late appearance at a press conference on a faulty washing machine. I think his first marriage ended acrimoniously too.

I didn’t want him anywhere near the job at the time.

Learnt it as a kid when I went there and it fascinated me and it just stuck with me.

I was taught the Welsh one by a room mate from Llanelli when I was in college and that has stuck with me. I once had a cold caller who turned out to be a Welsh Dipper fan and he did say that my rendition was the finest he'd heard from an English man! I reckon it's one bit of Welshness where I can out-Welsh Giggsy!

Oh I don't know. He's only played ten more friendlies than you!
 
He's not a vastly experienced manager is he? Makes you wonder if this manager gig in football is as specialised as they want to make out it is.
