"But if they offer me the work is something that I would take seriously".

Toshack, whose second tenure Wales began when he succeeded Mark Hughes in November 2004, won 21 and lost 24 of its 53 games since then.

But Hartson, who played for the likes of Celtic, West Ham and Arsenal during his career, questioned the possible departure time of Toshack, saying that he should have gone at the end of the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign failed.

Time of output of Toshack ' brave '

"Right now, nobody knows if Tosh is going to go or not, but for Ryan it can be all right if he has someone really experienced for traps," 92-cap Southall told BBC Sport.

"Whoever I probably look closer at the moment is Kenny Jackett. Kenny did a fantastic job in Gillingham.

"He made brilliant for bringing younger players, he has them promoted with this and it has international experience. because it is not a name like others, he tends to be forgotten.

"The other one is down the road at Cardiff City in Dave Jones. There are a lot of mileage on Dave Jones and I think he would do a great job for Wales.

And nobody is given [Stoke Manager] Tony Pulis mention. you don't know the temptation of international administration could be something that he feels could be a good time to start. "
