Wales appoint Emmerson!
After John Toshack left as Wales boss straight after this years world cup final, the Welsh FA have been quick to appoint unknown manager Ollie Emmerson as manager. Emmerson has had spells with non league Nuneaton and AFC Telford before taking this job. It is reported that the Welsh FA are paying him £600,000 pounds a year, a tenth of what fierce rivals England pay current manager Fabio Capello. Fans have shown a mixed responce to this appointment with some thinking that the Welsh FA have gone bonkers, whilst others are concluding that anyone could do a better job than his predecssor John Toshack.
A press conference with Emmerson will be held at 4 O'clock today.

"Bonkers" I very much doubt that Sky Sports would say that.

Emmerson press conference.
Here at sky sports we have Ollie Emmerson's first press conference as Wales manager.

Sky Sports: Ollie, how does it feel to be Wales manager?
Emmerson: I feel very happy to be in charge of Wales and am proud.

Eatmygoal.com: How do you think you can do in the European championship qualifiers?
Emmerson: Well, I think we have a good enough squad to qualify and it will be interesting to see how we come out in next week's draw.

The Sun: What do you think of the current wales youth set up?
Emmerson: I think we have a very good youth set up and lots of talented young players are coming through such as Aaron Ramsey and Sam Vokes.

FourFourTwo: What is your message for the fans?
Emmerson: Give me time and I will work with the players and I will bring you the results you deserve.

Emmerson: Thank you and my new coaching set up will be confirmed tommorow.

Emmerson names staff line up.
Today new Wales manager Ollie Emmerson has named his staff line up.

Assistant manager: Brian Flynn
Coach: Ryan Giggs
Striking coach's: John Hartson, Ian Rush
Goalkeeping coach: Neville Southall
Physio: Peter Brunker

With this list he has confirmed that Ian Rush will mentor the younger strikers while John Hartson will coach the more experienced strikers.
Also Ryan Giggs will join up with the team and come away from Manchester United.
Sir Alex Ferguson has also commented on the appointment and said that he thinks it will be good experience for Giggs.

 
Haa this is like bullying. The presentation could be better yes but lets not be negative nancys
 
stop being dicks and criticising every post he makes

if you dont like dont click !
 
Christ's sake, he is on a handheld, so presentation is difficult. Stop derailing his story with pointless posts.
 
Just leave the guy alone and let him get on with it.

Good luck pal.

While we're correcting people's posts, let's have a look at yours. It is spelt 'blatantly' rather than 'blatently'. 'Quotation' rather than 'qoutation'. 'I'm', not 'im'. Also, why are you using quotation marks around it anyway?

So have a look at what you write before criticising his story.

When I saw this on the recent thread list, I thought Wales had signed Emerson as their new manager in real life! :O
