"We have always favoured Welsh people because arguably the passion is there," said FAW chief executive Jonathan Ford.
"Somebody said this earlier, Welsh most definitely, foreign possibly, but definitely not English."
While I understand the tribal nature of the football fan, and the wisdom of not giving Welsh fans an Englishmen - to come out and say it thus is to tread a path towards a certain word and concept that should not form part of an executive's public utterance. |  |

Tin pot team from a tin pot country. Doubt any real Englishman would want to take it on anyway. Balls. End of.*

I guess their answer to that would be that, according to the slippery rules on nationality that exist across virtually all sports now, you're non-state until you state your state (or something similar). | |

No doubt. Why it can’t be place of birth or nationality of either parent and leave it at that I don’t know. Even more slippery for Jordan mcRhodes | | | |

I am surprised that he can get away with saying that under current employment law. | |

David Johnson the First's moustache qualified him for Mexico, I believe. | |

The FAW are a bunch of pillocks, so no surprise they're acting to type |  |

As Swansea said, the FAW are collectively called 'morons', rather similar to your own FA and FIFA as a whole (wonder if it is a football thing??)
What they are doing is feeding to the ignorant, rather like the shock treatment that we are hearing from the political right and left right now and not too dissimilar to Spruce's comment on this thread. Baseless ignorance works like that and many of us despair as we appear to always take two steps forward before a massive stride backwards...
Rather like Sports Direct earlier this year banning the use of the Welsh language in one of its stores in Wales...the historical 'dislike' of the English from over the border though is based in part by acts of incredible cruelty throughout history which have thankfully petered out recently (only to be reignited by the ignorant few).
That said, it was only in the early part of this century that monies taken from the grieving families of Aberfan by an English Labour (and then Tory) peer Lord Roben were finally returned...trying to get people of Wales to forget these kinds of things is incredibly difficult and ingrained within many families.
However, as Welshman I would happily see a decent English manager take the reigns as opposed to a mediocre Welshman - I know the majority of Welsh fans feel the same. |  |

They had better stop picking English players for their team then! |  |
