sidofthesouth Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Don't think he has an illness more just tanning the bevvy, maybe was in a bit of depression being out of work. I commend the SFA for giving him a 2.5 year contract to get sober. Any evidence on the "tanning the bevy" comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to be mental to turn down an English Premiership job. I suspect the main reason is that he is an ex Rangers man, which nowadays apparently you just can't be. It has f**k all to do with Rangers - it's the fact that he's done f**k all as a manager since walking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulloch Gorum Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I don't think he seems pished in that TV thing, seems more like he's not prepared for it, doesn't really have anything to say on the subject and is winging it. Poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsr Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I would genuinely rather have dug up a dead manager from the 19th century and put him in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippy2015 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I have to agree strachan done my head in with his selections at times, but the thought of a steaming mcliesh writing names on a fag packet doon the boozer fills me with dread.

HoBNob Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I'd love to be proved wrong but I think that's the worst appointment we could have made if you're simply balancing up how good they are as a manager, since being relegated with Birmingham in 2011(who spent an absolute shit ton that year?) he's been a failure everywhere, his last good season was 8 years ago, we've appointed a manager who's not been a success in nearly a decade, has failed in the 4 jobs since, and who walked out on Scotland last time he was in charge (and was a failure last time anyway). What is the point? I would genuinely have rather had McKay, for all that he seems an absolutely despicable person he's got a better management record. O'Neil is similarly a bit of a c**t and people would have had no dramas with him. I would have absolutely loved Clarke or Ross, Clarke with Ross as his assistant would've been ideal.

gmfc Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 We would be better with fukin Henry McLeish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippy2015 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 So then, realistically, who did you want to take the job who had better credentials than Alex McLeish and was available just now? Laurent Blanc peter bosz Thomas tuchal slaven billic frank de boer Marco silva Paul clement sinisa mihajlovic franseco guidolin roberto di matteo michel preudhomme Alexander nouri juande Ramos Christian goircoff bernd schuster urs fischer felix magath Stuart McCall mark Hughes luis Enrique Marcos gisdol gianfranco zola Ivan juric Pepe mel all available.Steve Clark was the best option. No disrespect to Kilmarnock it would be a sad day if we couldn’t convince a manager to leave Kilmarnock to be manager of the national team we simply didn’t ask the question.

GordonS Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Those saying he had a good record before - he was manager for a grand total of ten games, one of which was a bad defeat to a rubbish Georgian team, one an injury-time win over them and one a late win over Lithuania; he followed almost exactly the template worked out by Walter Smith; and he had much, much better players at his disposal. He walked out on Scotland mid-contract, got relegated with Birmingham, took them back up and had a short successful spell, got them relegated again and immediately walked out to join their biggest rival. He was shite at Aston Villa and was sacked after a season. He was shite at Notts Forest and was sacked after 7 games. He missed the Championship play-offs with Genk and left after a season. He managed 10 games with Zamalek in Egypt. And let's not forget that he had the advantage of being the manager of Rangers at a time they could overpay wages because they were dodging tax. If you can't think of a better candidate for Scotland manager, you're following the wrong sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
