sjc Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Different sport and different Country, but here in Japan they have a schools baseball tournament where each prefecture (region) champion goes the the National baseball stadium in Osaka to play in the Finals. It's live on National tv with better coverage than the SPFL. Stadium is sold out usually too for every game. Regarding Scotland : we don't have enough qualified coaches plus the coaching that is available isn't good enough. Not necessarily their fault as having done my coaching badges back in 2006 I was shocked at how easy it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking ex-players to lead it however, is a terrible, terrible idea. Indeed. This would only result in the ex-pros sitting in a room and saying: "More football instead of English or History or Maths or Music or Art at schools", and "make tickets cheaper". Neither of which would have the slightest effect on skill levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Never mind coaching.....imagine roasters like charlie nicholas or kris boyd in charge of commercial negotiations, infrastructure projects etc Nicholas would be a breath of fresh air. His first edict would stipulate that all players are required to wear leather suits, slip on shoes and no socks to official events.And Boyd would swiftly clinch a multi million pound sponsorship deal with Monster Munch.What are we waiting for?

kenny131 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 All these posts slating ex scottish pros yet when the idea of a foreigner is floated to try something different this place goes into meltdown.....what the actual feck do you want. 1 thing for sure ex pro or foreigner with different ideas would be way better running our game than the morons who are just now. For me the money the sfa have been getting each year is not being spent on grassroots it's paying there huge pay packs with nothing coming back at all, if there was an inspection of the books of where all the money has been spent this last 10 years I, m sure it would be a reporters dream.

Does it? I'd say a foreign coach is largely supported on here, despite the SFA shitting themselves about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
