PanamaSaint Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 This is a shocking disgrace by the SFA that we have not signed a quality manager. We have been belittled in the media and deservedly so. The Scotland national team are trying hard to improve and the SFA sit in silence.

A governing body without any credibility despite the self congratulatory glowing 'Mission Statements' they place on their website... incredible. to add: Don't forget this is an organisation which just recently refused to take part in a review on their governance of the game despite a large number of Scottish fans and... the SPFL, making known that one is required to restore some confidence in the stewardship of the game. Of course, as usual, the clubs have nothing to say either. Edited January 17, 2018 by Indicator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they are following the old maxim - " it is better to sit silent and be thought fools than to speak up and remove any possible doubt".

jhq Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Couldn't care less to be honest. The national team means very little to me given the amount of Saints (and other "Smaller" clubs) players who have been overlooked over the years because they don't player for one of the bigot brothers. Main, Wright, O'Neill, Anderson, May and Mackay should all have been capped while playing for Saints. Muzz should have had more than 2 minutes. Clark is probably the next who will be ignored for this reason. Whoever is manager will no doubt toe the party line again and we will continue to fail to qualify for major tournaments and play mind-numbing football. My only interest in the appointment is the if it's Michael O'Neill then we will probably lose Tommy to NI.

south inch Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Interesting that the SFA have taken longer than Sevco to find out that their preferred candidate does not want their managers job. Now what? Well there is always Alex McLeish who has taken to singing Scotland the Brave lately instead of the Sash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Bit surprised Klinsmann never gets a mention in any of the speculation. I think he'd be worth talking to. I can't imagine recruiting for the Scotland manager's job is an especially easy task. I just can't see why any good, experienced manager would want it. The SFA would maybe end up being better off taking an educated punt on a more up-and-coming coach - but who that would be I have no idea. I think McInnes would do a great job but can't see why he'd be remotely interested. I'd also be surprised if Tommy Wright is anywhere near being on the radar for it.

PanamaSaint Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Tom English has a good article in the BBC online Football page. He questions if Michael O´Neill has made the correct decision. The main point being comparing both squads moving forward and the potential.

Cagey Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 SFA have ****ed up as usual. I think O'Neill said they hadn't even spoken to him until just before christmas & looked like they only did it after after he was asked if they had been in touch.

Indicator Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Dear me. Walked out when previously Scotland manager. EBT recipient whilst with Rangers1872, a real Rangers man. A man desperate for the job... any job. Nobody of quality is interested in managing the Scottish international team. All we need now is a RRM heading the SFA and it'll be back to square one.

MySpazz Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Had it been O'Neill the TW would be NI boss, and we be quids in, Bullet Proof Broon would be upbeat, new manager would be sought and wallet opened to sign players.................SO basically if we get relegated I blame the SFA for the Scotland manager debacle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Quite entertaining really to see how clueless and out of touch with modern football the SFA are. There's a whole planet of coaches to consider and, after their first target turns them down, they can't see beyond Walter Smith and Alex McLeish. Absolutely zero concept of the existence of a world outside Glasgow. Cagey and fazman1977 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 ...still, I guess Scotland fans should be grateful that this at least means they've been spared the embarrassment of supporting a team managed by Malky Mackay.
