H Wragg Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Amazed Clarke has gone for this. Best choice out of all the candidates. Watch us make a late run and miss out on goal difference in true Scottish style.We'll scoosh the play offs then. [emoji41] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) McLeish to Clarke is almost the fucking Oxford definition of 'polar opposite'. Honest to god, I don't think, in Scottish manager terms, you could get two different people for the role. Edit - Yep, annoying Rangers fans makes it even better. Hopefully he avoids picking any of their Scottish players for squads. Indeed, the only Scottish player at Rangers who should be in the squad plays for Canada.

D.A.F.C Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Instead of massive failure we will now get organised failure. Probably the best we can get but the issue is much more than just the manager. -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the European teams that qualified for the World Cup he wouldn’t get a game for any of them barring maybe Iceland at a push Yes he would.

forameus Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Easily the best decision out of the SFA-mandated shortlist, so in that sense, a decent decision for once. However, we've been here before. Strachan was almost universally praised when he came in, and that turned out pretty beige in the end. I had my reservations about him, but ended up probably more positive than most on him by the end. Hopefully that doesn't end up being the case here. The next two games should tell us a lot about him, but the games that really matter are probably 10 months away now. Good luck, you've got quite a job on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let’s take Iceland out as I did and was “full of shit”. The other teams which qualified for the last tournament were: France, Spain, Germany, England, Portugal, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Croatia, Serbia, Switzerland and Poland. Which of these teams is McKenna getting in to? I’m an aberdeen fan to clarify.

Look at 2016, there's about seven he'd walk.straight into.

TrebleTwenty Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 53 minutes ago, ScottishZizou said: Brilliant appointment. If he can’t do it then possibly we have to look at wider reasons as to why we are so inept instead of continuously blaming one manager to the next and accept there is possibly a greater reason. I think of late there’s been a combination of bad managers and just not the players there. There’s only going to be so much Clarke can do when you have to start guys like McKenna and Bates in internationals. So what is your solution? Who do we play in the centre of defence? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very sceptical he would have walked in to 7 of those teams. Just because you don’t know the players who play for these countries doesn’t mean they aren’t players playing at a level higher than 4th in the Scottish Premiership 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the best CB in Scotland. Look at the teams in 2016, he's easily good enough. Aston villa are going to be an EPL team this time next week he's already turned them.down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From an Ayr perspective we had both Michael Rose and Scott McKenna on loan from Aberdeen and all joking aside Rose looked the far superior player. McKenna has obviously improved a great deal since he left us, however if Rose has a similar rate of improvement at Coventry next season then I can see him get a big move and could also feature for the national team, given what McKenna's done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll need to progress a lot but let's hope so. Dom Hyam is also doing quite well at Coventry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you don't have a solution, it is probably best you don't slag off what we currently have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
