DAFC. Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 We won’t go down the foreign route so there’s not even any point in suggesting anyone. Jack Ross said in an interview Scotland would be his ultimate goal but unsure if he’s at a right time in his career for the job. Still think Steve Clarke is the stand-out Scottish candidate. It’s going to be Moyes, isn’t it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but he built the best momentum we had for at least a decade Aye, when it was far too late to actually achieve anything, he had his chance. If McLeish goes, you simply have to look at a list of British ex Rangers and Celtic managers who aren't in a job at that point. My bet would be Neil Lennon in the Summer once Celtic punt him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpoonTon Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The sacking of Strachan happened a year too late. We sacked him after a perfectly good year. That made no sense. What also made no sense was sacking him without a proper and thorough plan in place to replace him. Sacking him only to replace him McLeish several months later was lunacy. The most striking, if unsurprising, issue here is the idiocy of those at the SFA making these decisions. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB_Bino Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 How McLeish has lasted this long is beyond me, however, Sunday must be his last game, it’s been an absolute diabolical appointment and today’s result has already reduced the amount of tickets we’ll sell for the remaining Home matches and those tickets aren’t even on general sale yet.Who should the next Manager be.....Stevie Clarke for me, but he shouldn’t be Manager, he should be the figure head behind changes in Scottish Football, the SFA should be begging him to take it.It’s too soon for Jack Ross and Alex Neill but fingers crossed their day will come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more than likely Clark will be more likely to stay at Kilmarnock than take the poisoned chalice that is the Scotland job. He hardly wants to damage his reputation after all! McLeish's appointment was a last resort. Typical of the SFA blazers old pals act. Yogi Hughes for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been the ideal scenario. That's what I'm saying. Keeping him on for another year and expecting even more than an unbelievably good year - that shows a lack of proper planning. And we may as well have kept Strachan on if we didn't have any decent succession plans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Get the best youth coaches in the world and put them in charge of the U16s. Demolish hampdump sell the ground and invest it in the best training facilities in Europe. Get hundreds of coaches trained up from every half decent youth side. Ten years time we will have a good side. Blood any promising youngsters early. Like 17,18. Play the same system from youth to full setup. Its what England Germany France Iceland and many others have done. We can change managers every three or four years forever but until we get decent players through it will be fruitless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Strachan was given not one, but two of the easiest groups we'll get at our level of seeding. He failed on both occasions. Don't regurgitate this bullshit because you're disappointed. Strachan was a failure and it was 100% the right decision to remove him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud131 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Not that I think McLeish will be sacked before the end of the qualifying games regardless of results, but I'd love to see Alex Neil come in. Done well with Norwich and is doing well with PNE with average players on a presumably small budget for the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree with last sentence, given our situation we shouldn't be discounting anyone because it may or may not be too soon for them. Alex Neil is very highly regarded and has done a tremendous job at Preston with precious little budget. I have my doubts he'd want the job, but do agree we could do with someone in a figurehead role overseeing some pretty major changes in the game - unfortunately, the SFA probably believe we've got that right now - his name is Malky Mackay - and with that the baw is burst! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The entire SFA need cleared out. All coaches in the national setup should be punted. Project Brave should be ripped up and never spoken of again. The 'Largs Handbook' should be shredded and never spoken of again. That's just the start of what needs to happen. It won't of course. Nothing will happen and this will continue for years to come. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we may as well have kept Strachan on if we didn't have any decent succession plans. Football doesn't work like that. Without the lingering doubts that a Lithuania or Georgia would happen again? Those results have happened since those countries existed, and always will. Those level of teams are not easy to beat away from home for any nation (certainly not for us). We've literally always struggled. I also still don't get the thought process where you think it was right to replace a manager, even though hindsight proved that he had a great year after that. Results proved that keeping him at that stage was the right decision. At some point people we need to realise that changing managers repeatedly does not necessarily improve results. We will, presumably, stumble upon the right manager at the right time, that fits the players we have. But at least we both agree that this shitshow was doomed from the beginning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
