Stoke boss Tony Pulis has admitted he would happily take over as Wales manager - but only for one game. The Welshman would be willing to send out the national side against Costa Rica on Wednesday, February 29 in a memorial game for Gary Speed. However, while the Wales job is something he might consider later in his career, Pulis confirmed his immediate future lies at the Britannia Stadium. He told the Stoke Sentinel: "Anything that would help in any shape or form in respect of Gary Speed, I would gladly do." He added: "I would have to speak to [Stoke chairman] Peter [Coates] first, of course, and if he didn't think it was right then fine. "But if he was okay and they asked me for just a one-off game, then I'd do it out of respect for Gary. "My main job remains at Stoke, but as I've said before, your national job is something you might look at in the future."
Fair play and its obviously being offered for the right reasons. I would imagine the only way TP would move from Stoke would be for the Wales job and maybe if they dont appoint someone before the Summer who knows. For me (as much as I respect what he has done for Stoke) would be quite happy for him to take the Wales job, although I'm not sure the Wesh fans in general would think the same, especially as some of their club football play is a fantastic and of a totally different style to the mind set of out Tone.
Tone won't go yet. He will use this one game to mark up his CV for when he is ready to take it for real. I actually thnk he would do well for Wales.
I'm not sure how successful Tony would be at international level, where he wouldn't have the players week-in, week-out to build up their fitness, and a seige mentality. I think he'd need to have a very particular group of players to succeed
