As a patriotic Englishman who admires the Welsh sense of Nationhood,
I was saddened to read the views of the chief executive of the Football Association
of Wales Jonathon Ford. This week he was
quoted on the BBC and on the website Football Paradise as saying the next manager
of the Welsh team would be: “Welsh most definitely, foreign possibly, but
definitely not English”.
I suspect that if the chief executive of the English FA had
said the next England team manager would be “English most definitely, foreign
possibly, but definitely not Welsh”, all hell would have broken loose around
him!

UPDATE 28th December.
According to the Independent it seems that Jonathon Ford is to face a disciplinary commission over his comment that the next Welsh manager will "definitely" not be English.
