208saint Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 i heard Gary mcalister in the frame, still not forgiven after the penalty miss I knew that would come out at some point (whether or not you are fishing, some people do think this way). I thought it was really crass at the time when he was getting pelters as a player I think it is even more ridiculous that it is still going on now. Now if you had said don't appoint him because he's a sh*t manager with no record to speak of at club level, different story altogether Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy turner Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 i would love to see david moyes is scotland manger but i know he wouldnt take it. so how about john hughes. thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenko82 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Wouldn't be disappointed with Paul Sturrock perhaps. Or maybe Scotland should go down the road Ireland have with a half decent foreign coach (although we have been here before). Not a massive choice of managers willing to take on this mess though...

Dr Christmas Jones Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 john collins as a good outside bet.......Would give jc the thumbs up.Would be a great Scotland manager.Likes his team to play from the back,on the ground with skill.Rules out half the team that played in Cardiff and alot of the ones that dropped out:razz:.

Ronaldo Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Scotland today are a pish football nation for the reasons I've stated before (over infatuation of the OF because they are big, kids not taking up the game for the last 25 years as they did in the 60's/70's, lack of true economic circulation of finance, poor organisation, a weak generation of youngsters who run about a lot and work hard but don't express themselves, uncompetitive etc.) No manager can make Scotland great today. The only solution is to pack our defence like Lithuania or Latvia and limit thrashings from Wales (9-0 on aggregate). Some mug will take it on though.

williamwonka Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Would you take Kris Boyd back ig you were taking Walter back?Bearing(gRRRR) in mind you want the best team you can get and would be silly not to include a man of his stature!

Amen.............you cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear...(or whatever the saying is). The Scottish game looks like is going to be in this state for a long time to come. Many of us may never see a decent Scotland team again....unfortunately.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
templeofsaints Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 BBC news mentions Billy Stark !!!!! WTF Doing well with the U-21s so a decent bet maybe. I'd like Levein to get a chance. But as a Saints fan don't want to see it happen cos you can be pretty sure that if he leaves Tannadump, Del and the Doc will be favourites to move there.

ryangordon86 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I think Stark would suffer more than Burley with commanding player respect. Levein is building a good team at tannadice, I can't see him wanting to take what is effectively a part time job at this stage of his career. I guess if he succeeded it would guarantee him the move to England that he wants. As much as my number one choice is Roy Hodgson, my money's on Walter Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nips Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I don't think Levein will be offered the job, as the SFA hate him! Why are folk so high on John Collins? He didn't exactly set the heather on fire at Hibs did he? And so what if he likes his teams to play attractive football - so does Burley and look how that turned out. Wouldn't be surprised and wouldn't object to see Stark being offered a coaching role with the first team. Everybody used to comment on how good a coach he was, as opposed to being a manager, so that could be a good option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryangordon86 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Sven, allow him to continue with Notts County too. Lets face it, it's a relatively short journey from there to most Championship grounds! Regarding John Hughes, nae chance. He's just signed with his boyhood heroes and doing pretty well too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sainteeee Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Maybe Souness??? If nothing else he would command respect from the bunch of pre-madona's we have at the moment. The Barry Ferguson incident would never have happened had Souness been in charge. Pity the SFA are sh1t scared of him and would never appoint him in a million years.

blueheaven Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Maybe Souness??? If nothing else he would command respect from the bunch of pre-madona's we have at the moment. The Barry Ferguson incident would never have happened had Souness been in charge. Pity the SFA are sh1t scared of him and would never appoint him in a million years. Souness has stated that he doesn't want it under any circumstances, otherwise I imagine he'd be favourite. I take it the people who are saying they wouldn't mind Stark have forgotten how awful it was when he was at Saints? And how on earth has Jim Jefferies managed to get his name included on there? I don't really think any of the others being tipped are good enough either - why is Craig Levein the favourite? Is doing a decent job at Dundee Utd really considered a good enough qualification? He was pretty poor when he had a crack at things down south, he's got no international experience and very little European experience. I think he'd be massively out of his depth. Burley's got a far better record than Levein, yet people are claiming Burley shouldn't have got the job while at the same time saying Levein should. I'd slightly prefer Walter Smith to Levein, as at least he's done international management before and has also managed a lot of games abroad with Rangers (though often poorly, it has to be said) - but, as much as he appears to be inexplicably worshipped by Scotland fans, the fact is that he wasn't good enough to qualify for any finals when he was manager either, so what makes anyone think he'd be able to do a better job with weaker players? For me, he's had his chance and Scotland need someone better. I don't think any current SPL manager should get it, as none of them fit the bill. The SFA should stop being so inward in their thinking and take a look further afield. There are some cracking coaches out there, yet for some reason Scotland seem to be bound to restricting the search to their own doorstep. By far the best thing about all this is that it's happened at a time when there's no chance of Gordon Strachan getting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepless Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 pre-madonas?? is that like post-madonas, but earlier? Souness is on record as saying he isn't interested. Which probably means he is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which probably means he is...Sure Souness said he didnt want it at this time........Let someone esle pick up the shit then he might do it. Interesting that he wanted it when we were 14th in the world, dont think we need someone like that anyway! I like the sound of a Brown/McAllister Combo.
