Stoke manager Tony Pulis rules out Wales job
Current Wales national team coach John Toshack is expected to announce his resignation, after six years in charge, at a press conference later today following their 1-0 opening Euro 2012 defeat to Montenegro last week. [LNB]Pulis is a proud Welshman and would jump at the chance to lead his country - but he has another priority at the moment and that is making Stoke an established Premier League club. [LNB]"It is worth it? One day, if someone offered me the job it would be a great honour to manage my country, just as it would be for any Englishman," said the 52-year-old. [LNB]"I think if you asked Harry Redknapp now 'Would you manage England?' it would be very difficult for him to turn it down - they have to pick someone so why not Harry? [LNB]"But to work in such an intense situation as a manager of a Premier League club, where every day there are new things to do, and then to take it away from you at the age I am I'm not sure it is for me. [LNB]"I think John Toshack has done a smashing job in respect of bringing young players through. [LNB]"A lot of good young players have been integrated and they now have quite a bit of experience at international level so there will be a time when someone will slip into that job and it will be a good job. [LNB]"Whoever takes over there are some good players in Wales and if you can get a good start and a few results the confidence will come back." [LNB]
