Took them ages to approach Derek McInnes without any back-up plan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Wragg Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Alasdair Lamont on Reporting Scotland saying it is his 'understanding' that McInnes isn't completely out of the running just yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were to be Clarke, do you honestly believe he would allow the SFA to announce him 48 hrs before the biggest game in 20 odd years on Sunday ? Also Gemmell costs the SFA nowt, compensation for Clarke would be a considerable amount under the terms of his new improved contract agreed with Billy Bowie last summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While accepting that Sunday is a reasonably big game, that's ridiculous hyperbole. Killie have been in League Cup finals (winning one of them), a relegation decider (v Falkirk, 2010) and a relegation play-off (v Falkirk again, 2016) during that time span. Unless Hearts beat Celtic at Hampden, both Aberdeen and Killie are going to qualify for Europe anyway. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-MAN Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 You may not agree and I might not be popular amongst my fellow AFC support, but out of the 3, DM is far and away the best manager. Some fans just have a dislike of AFC or spout the “bottler” tag with no evidence to back it up. Totally underrated what he has done for us and some of our support are in for a shock when he goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarke has done two fair to reasonable jobs in England, while McInnes was a dud at Bristol City. I would be worried that McInnes would be Craig Levein mk2 as Scotland manager, i.e. a good SPL manager promoted beyond his abilities. Would take him over Gemmill, obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what you’re looking for I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Let's be absolutely clear, if the SFA appoint Scot Gemmill it will rank amongst the worst decisions they have ever made (and there's a lot of competition).They would be appointing a guy with absolutely no management experience at a senior level and with a less than sterling record as a youth team coach purely to save a few pennies. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Alan Nixon said a few days ago three were shortlisted, and two were at clubs, the clubs had been approached. BBC report today the shortlist is Clarke, McInnes, Gemmill. McInnes apparently tells board member at Aberdeen he'd turn the job down, assuming that conversation came after the SFA approached Aberdeen. Its Clarke or Gemmill. Feels like a sliding doors moment for Scottish football, and I've horrible feeling I know whats coming. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 It's going to be Gemmill, let's just be honest and give ourselves peace. Bookies slashing odds on Clarke means absolutely fcuk all as well btw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksburnDandy Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I'm hopeful it is Steve Clarke because of his jobs at Kilmarnock and WBA in solidifying average teams and instilling confidence in them. Exactly what Scotland needs at this time.So knowing the SFA, it will be Scot Gemmill. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who tries to justify a Gemmill appointment with "but look at what England did with Southgate" chat should be subject to severe legal penalties. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 According to Sportound (I know, but they're usually accurate about the national team) earlier, it will be offered to Clarke, but if he turns it down Gemmill will take it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed Steve Clarkes aware of the outcome if he rejects it. No real Scot would allow Scotland Gemmill to take charge of the National Team. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
