He might want to get back into tournament qualifiers etc. Never know unless you ask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Yes. Rule seems to be they cant play for their club for five days after an International window. This International window runs until the 27th. I might be wrong but I think that means, if invoked, the likes of Robertson, Tierney and Fraser, wouldn't be able to play for their clubs until after the 1st March. Tierney would miss the Old Firm match, Robertson would miss their match by Tottenham, and Fraser would miss a match away to Leicester. I'd be all for doing that, btw.Unless I’ve missed something, Fraser and Robertson at least should be available for San Marino. Not sure on Tierney’s availability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Beat me to it, China are chucking money at their plan to improve. We could tempt this guy from Eastbourne, maybe.I've just checked his managerial record on Wikipedia..........It's piss poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killiefan Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Kriss Boyd should step in as manager, let’s face it he predicted players like Shinnie weren’t good enough for a Scotland squad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Presumably he means Scot Gemmill, which would be a disgustingly awful shout. I'd rather Stuart Gemmill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-2 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Jason Kerr got a lot of praise for his performances in Toulon. Gemmill leaves him for next squads as he's too old and replaces him with an even older player. The guys a c**t. He'll go far in the SFA set up.

Jeremiah Cole Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 There's no way that Preston have a lower budget than yo-yo League One dross like Rotherham. Fake news. Why would Steve Clarke want to join an absolute shambles of an international setup now, when he's currently well-placed to secure a decent job when he decides to return to his family south of the border? Other than the benefit of being able to travel down there practically year round there's nothing to be gained from his point of view. Scotland will be rummaging around the disregarded skip of football management for their next pick, there is neither the budget nor the credible pitch to attract a manager currently in the game at a decent level. He’d be able to live south of the border as Scotland manager. The job pays a lot of money for effectively working part time. Might well appeal to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah Cole Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 True, but publicly calling someone an alcoholic without evidence (even with evidence) is in extremely poor taste.Indeed.I reckon that alcoholics everywhere will be appalled at being associated with McLeish. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new manager can easily blame the result the other night should we fail to qualify from the group, and should they do a decent job and win all games against the teams ranked below us and give a good showing against Russia and Belgium, then they'd be able to go in to the playoffs with confidence and the fans right behind them. Win the playoffs and they'll be an absolute hero. Easy sell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win the playoffs and they'll be an absolute hero. Easy sell. Potentially Group games in 2020 at Hampden and the chance ( with the increased participation ) of being the first Scotland manager to qualify for the knockout stages. This Scotland squad will never compete regularly with Brazil, France, Spain, England, Argentina etc, as they've a far higher level of player. Similarly we won't ever compare with San Marino, Gibraltar etc because our player level is far higher. Pick the right manager and Scotland could make the world's top 15/20. GK - Bain Transfer value £4 million RB Tierney £27 million CB McKenna £12 million CB Bates £6 million LB Robertson £40 million DM McTominay £15 million DM MacGregor £15 million LW Fraser £20 million RW Forrest £14 million CM Armstrong £ 12 million CF Burke/ Griffiths / Fletcher £10 million The current crop are actually quite decent. Not the best side I've seen but perhaps, collectively the best since the 1990s. The problem is: Alex McLeish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Aye, pretty much. McLeish is only taking us in one direction. Stats don't make good reading for him; https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47674134 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
