JTP 221 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 So after we get humped by 3 or 4 tonight who do we think will be in the running for the job.Strachan?Big Eck?Would Sir Walter take it again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBF2 3,540 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Strachan or Sir Walter.No one else would do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mor3los_1 3,672 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Want Strachan to have a chance, should have gotten it before Burley and Levein. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiogh 178 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I think we should do what we've been threatening to do for years but never actually done - get a youngish manager who will be able to progress the squad and build a (hate this word) philosiphy.We've squandered years worth of talent on short termism and haven't qualified for hee haw since 98. We have to accept that we are a 3rd rate nation in terms of football at the moment, and take it from there.Although after saying that, I can't think of anyone that fits the bill (certainly not Scottish anyway) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC55 109,713 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Ffs Scotland would need Dynamo to get them out of the groups they will end up in! They will slip to pot 5 and face groups like they're in now! By appointing they 2 fannies the SFA have systematically fucked Scotland from qualifying for anything for at least another ten years!

G.E.C. 18,956 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Eck, Chesney or Walter.Saying that, I don't think they'll be that much attracted with the position Scotland are in now. Mind you, Smith took over when they were 85th in the world rankings after Berti left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Walter is retired so i don't think he'd take the job even if he was offered it. Strachan would be a decent choice Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,696 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Craig Levein will not be sacked the SFA can't afford to pay him off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdunsmb 43 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I'll throw Derek McCinness's name into the hat. Maybe to soon for him at the moment but looks to be a good manager. Same goes for Dougie Freedman, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgruntled_bear 157 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 John Collins would be an interesting appointment. As mentioned it would be a fitness and technique based philosophy he would install and that fits in with what the under 19's and 21's are trying to do. So it would be a natural progression. If John Collins could bring in Gary McAllister as a part of his coaching set up. Think it could be a exactly what the National team is looking for.

disgruntled_bear 157 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 As mentioned he's a DOF at Livingstone. But he would leave that post in a second for the Scotland Job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
