www.bbc.com/sport/football/42234166Isn’t it discriminatory to say they won’t employ an Englishman? Imagine if I put a job out there saying all are welcome to apply except anybody from Wales? Also how is it that Swansea & Cardiff are allowed to play in the ENGLISH Premier League?

No of course it's not it's no more discriminatory than all women short lists And we all know that is acceptable |

Plenty of Associations (admittedly less and less as time goes by) fiercely hold on to the principle that the manager of the National side should be from that country. I don't think there's a lot to see here.

"We won't employ am Englishman" is discrimination, I won't "shag a sheep" is a personal preference.

Can you imagine the uproar if the English FA were in search of a new manager and said “ We are prepared to take any nationality coach, except for a Welshman” ?
We are becoming an international joke because of our recently aquired ability to NOT TO STAND UP FOR OURSELVES.

It's obvious that it's blatantly racist, the BBC aren't allowing users to post comments on the story. That's always a dead giveaway.

Preservation of Welsh culture and associated laws probably has some form of government approval. Welsh Assembly/Plaid Cymru/Twin Town/Siadwell sort of bollocks.

Wales . A one man team who’s one man is possibly reaching his sell by date.
The arrogance is underwhelming.

However there is quite a bit of history involved here. Football associations have always been power grabbers, Scotland, N Ireland and Wales jealously hold onto their clubs in fear of loosing their controls to England or even a British FA. The English FA is no different but in recent years has lost some influence to the powerful Premier Lge Clubs such as Wrexham, Newport County as well as the obvious Cardiff and Swansea have for many years resisted the power struggle and quite rightly stayed in the upper echelons of the football Lge. These clubs are not responsible for the bigatory of their home nations FA . |

I hear you but the premier League is the FA premier League so have the power. 3 out of 4 of those clubs have English managers, maybe the clubs and managers need to put pressure onto the Welsh FA then, a bit of guidance. Hopefully Pulis will get it |

All a bit farcical to me. So in order to not discriminate, anybody offering a job has to tacitly invite applications from people who have no chance of getting it? What's the point of that?

If that's a serious policy statement then that's not on.

Has any English manager expressed an interest? It's not that attractive of an option - replacing a guy who took the side about as far as is humanely possible. It's a bit like me saying my shagging preferences are "Porky most definitely, ugly possibly, but definitely not Jennifer Anniston."

They can't have any serious ambitions beyond some job in hand defending and route 1 stuff going forward Leaker is the oustanding candidate BUT it would mean earning lots less than he would get at a club job. It's also harder to sue a national association when you leave. |
