Toshack must resign says Savage

Toshack must resign says Savage



Robbie Savage has renewed his attack on John Toshack by branding the national set-up an "utter shambles" and calling on the Wales manager to quit.

Blackburn midfielder Savage has not played for Wales since being left out of Toshack's first squad two years ago.

The 32-year-old, who has 39 caps, retired from international football after being excluded.

"It really is time Toshack called it a day. He has failed and along the way forced players to retire," Savage said.

"If he was honest with himself, he'd look in the mirror and say, 'I've failed' and walk away. It would be the honest and truthful thing to do."

Savage launched his attack on the morning before Wales play a crucial Euro 2008 qualifier against the Czech Republic in Cardiff.

The match will be the last in a Wales shirt for captain Ryan Giggs, who retires from international football after that match to concentrate on club duties for Manchester United.

"Ryan Giggs is about to play his last game against the Czech Republic and he couldn't be calling it a day at a better time. Our game is an utter shambles," Savage said.

"I watched the friendly against New Zealand last week, when we drew 2-2. Blimey, Blackburn beat the Kiwis last summer 5-0.

"That was a disaster, with no redeeming feature. Yet he (Toshack) tried to find some. It was seriously humiliating."

Savage says he would not return to play for Wales even if Toshack was to leave.

"International football is behind me now," Savage added.
