See they’ve finally appointed a Director of Football. An internal promotion, seems a bit of an underwhelming appointment.

Robert Page will continue to deputise for Wales manager Ryan Giggs as their 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign begins with three games in March.

I'd be curious to know why you are even asking that question. Promoted from within, he was probably the car park attendant before lockdown, answering to Woody and the tight fisted yanks, come on. I believe his nickname at the swamp is patsy
