The time is also now for Chris Coleman’s Wales national side, who are enjoying a journey heading in a different direction to the Exiles.

While County’s Football League dream is currently turning into a nightmare because of bad planning and a mismanagement of funds, Wales’ perennial major tournament nightmare is becoming a dream.

And don’t think it has all happened by accident, because it hasn’t and the FAW deserve a great deal of praise for the position Wales find themselves in, atop of Euro 2016 qualifying Group B.

Of course there have been mitigating circumstances on the field, with Wales led by the sublime talents of Gareth Bale, the most expensive player in the world and one of the global games truly exciting attacking players, a match winner that will be remembered from generation to generation.

Similarly, it is unquestionably true that Wales have also benefitted from the expansion of the Euros, from 16 to 24 teams and the way that has eased the qualification process.

It would be naive thinking to state that Wales are top of their group and therefore the change in format hasn’t been important, because it absolutely has.

The Welsh players have played with a freedom, with a sense of bravery and bravado that is a direct consequence of knowing that this time around, the fear of failure didn’t need to be a primary consideration.

Most of all, this Welsh camp, however, is a successful one because it is a happy one, which is how and why the FAW have merited genuine credit.

They couldn’t have had to rebuild from a worse or more unimaginably distressing situation than the loss of ex-manager Gary Speed and when a tremendous amount of Welsh supporters had turned against Coleman, the FAW held firm in their belief he was the right man.

He’s paid them back in spades, the players seemingly adore Coleman and he’s proved himself to be protective of them first and foremost and in possession of the knowledge and understanding of how to set them up as effectively as possible.

Bale has been more than just their attacking catalyst, he’s been inspirational throughout the campaign, but the most eye-catching feature of the Welsh side has been the defence.

Ashley Williams seems destined to remain one of modern football’s most underrated commodities – he’s head and shoulders above Gary Cahill, who won a Premier League title last season – and goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey has also been outstanding throughout.

This week against Cyprus and Israel, Wales have the chance to make history and within the next four fixtures, I have few doubts they’ll seal a passage to France for next summer.

It’s going to be a national triumph and the FAW – so often figures of fun – deserve credit for creating an environment for Coleman and his players to shine in.
