Millwall are the biggest cunts in English football. As much as the Manc and chav fans are bad they have nothing on those Knuckle dragging blerts.

Raymond Verheijen's comments shock Iwan Roberts

Raymond Verheijen's comments on leading Wales after Gary Speed are "selfish", according to ex-striker Iwan Roberts.

Assistant manager Verheijen has said on Twitter on Sunday he hopes the leadership of the national side will be decided on Monday by the Football Association of Wales.

Roberts says he has been left shocked by the Dutchman's comments that come two weeks after Speed's death.

"What he put on there really left a bad taste in my mouth," said Roberts.

"Some of the things he's posted on Twitter have absolutely shocked me. [It's] very, very selfish."

Verheijen told BBC Sport on Monday: "I did not say I wanted the job", but would not comment further.

The Dutchman, who previously worked with the Netherlands, Russia and South Korea, joined Speed's backroom team in February.

Despite a difficult start to Speed's reign as manager, he won four of his last five matches in charge of Wales.

The national side begin their 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign at home to Belgium next September.

And Verheijen believes Speed's backroom team should be given the opportunity to continue with his work by the Football Association of Wales.

"Hopefully the board will respect Gary's wish so [fellow assistant] Osian Roberts and I can lead the team to Brazil," Verheijen said on Twitter.

"There is no need for a new manager with new ideas. Our success was based on Gary's clear structure. Everybody knows what to do for mission Brazil 2014."

But Roberts, who played alongside Speed for Wales, is unhappy with the timing of Verheijen's comments.

"It's just over two weeks since we lost Gary and just over 48 hours since Gary was finally put to rest," the former Norwich and Leicester player told BBC Wales.

"The timing's shocking and I don't think he should be putting his CV if you like on Twitter.

"He's touting himself for the Welsh job. He's put it out there in the public for everyone to see. That's the thing that sits really awkward and uncomfortable with me.

"He's upset and angered me in the past with some of the things he's posted but nothing [compares with this].

"Gary's wish? I find that quite astonishing when Gary's family are still grieving.

"I don't think anybody will have a problem with them [FAW] discussing the future. Life goes on, as sad as it sounds," added Roberts.

"They will discuss how Wales now go forward after such a tragic event."

That guy is one classless prick. Kenny has had a go at him before aswell.

[Shaggy]

Yep, he's a ****ing fruitcake.

[ChesterDave]

Don't actually see anything wrong with what he has said to be honest.

Its a sensative subject but I think people are overreacting because emotions are still raw.

I think the 'gary's wish' comment is a bit low tbh, and also, he should be saying all this to the welsh fa, and not on ****in twitter! imo. The blokes only just been buried.

Yes! People are reacting because emotions are raw, they are raw because it's only a couple of weeks since Speeds wife found him hanging in their home!, that's why he should have kept his counsel for a while longer. imo.

Just did'nt need saying in public so soon.

[dom9]

The comments are presumptuous. What is his past form?

[BigMarv]

Great as it is, posting anything on Twitter, especially relating to a sensitive matter always comes across as tactless.

[lfcred]

Who is the guy anyway!? sounds too desperate to get the job!

[Kenneth]

Who cares?

Gary Speed died from hanging but his death may have been an accident, a coroner has ruled.

Recording a narrative verdict, Cheshire coroner Nicholas Rheinberg said there was no evidence to suggest the Wales football manager intended to take his own life.

To sum up: no evidence of disturbed mind, no evidence of external stress, no note. Why a man with so much to live for died remains mystery
