SpoonTon Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 9 minutes ago, Diamonds are Forever said: Yes, as I pointed out his time at Croatia was not particularly successful despite a really talented squad, it was more a case of what could have been, as he has admitted. Losing to Turkey in a quarter final in 2008 was a huge missed opportunity, they then didn't qualify for the 2010 World Cup and failed to get out the group in 2012 (a tough group admittedly). There isn't really much there to go on to say that 7-10 years later he is a suitable candidate for this job. What you're saying is the type of reason why I argue that we shouldn't break the bank for manager's like Bilic. But I'm also not sure if there are any candidates that stand out ahead of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'd take it, he strikes me as a very hands on coach and he wouldn't have that opportunity as an international manager. Should still ask him though. Moyes would be a decent appointment and would bring the organisation that's been missing in recent times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Some people need to have a reality check. We are turning our noses up at Slavan Billic when the SFA are currently eyeing up Malky Mackay and Scot Gemmill. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoon Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I think Clarke would be the best choice but like others I struggle to see him taking it at this stage of his career. Moyes...eh, an improvement but not one I’d be a big fan of. The best route would be to look foreign (I’d certainly take Bilic) as there just isn’t enough credible domestic candidates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 What about his CV makes him stand out and suited to the Scotland job?He has at least got experience of managing an international team and taking them to a major final. That should be a basic pre-requisite for anyone being considered for the job. It’s a good deal more experience than most of our previous managers have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guus Hiddink won the European Cup and several Dutch titles at PSV and led three different countries to the semi-finals of major competitions (including South Korea and Russia). If that's the sort of manager Bilic is then we're on to a winner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not possible, but laughable to see someone talk about him as if he's anything other than one of the very best managers the game has ever seen. Shows how little some people know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swing_kinker Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Exactly. Been banging on about my admiration for him recently. Would love to see him take the job but not gonna happen. .....I can but dream Edited April 20, 2019 by swing_kinker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken George Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) I kinda though Moyes would be the man for the job but 4 weeks ago I heard him give the biggest load of shyte soundbite regarding the availability of the Scotland job, basically what I am saying is he sounded like a nugget and not the sort players would run through walls for. had never thought of Billic other than thinking he resembles a werewolf bit some people on here are making a compelling case for him Edited April 20, 2019 by Chicken George 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 After Clarke outburst I'd presume he has talked to himself out the job Didn't levein get the job shortly after going apeshit about some trivial refereeing decision that went against Dundee Utd? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually the worst example of blatant cheating I've ever seen in my life, involving about eight horrific decisions including Mark de vries being booked for not celebrating a goal. All conducted at ibrox by an ex ibrox season ticket holder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binos Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Bilic was sacked effectively for being too nice Moyes turned the club around, got them organised defensively and kept them up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Looks like the SFA are going for the racist option - The Scottish FA will over the next few days consider placing performance director Malky Mackay in temporary charge of the Scotland team following Alex McLeish's departure as head coach last week.

Newbornbairn Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 They knew he was a racist when they hired him and they knew the fans were disgusted but they didn't give a shit then so why should they care now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ally Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Mystified ,why do we need MacKay as a temporary manager? Its almost the end of the season so a permanent appointment of someone like Clark would cause minimal disruption to their club . Having read Malkys comments that got him kicked out of Cardiff, there is no way he can be given such a high profile position even if it is temporary . It would be a National embarrassment . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
