Savage Henry Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Alec McLeish might be "a very nice bloke" ,but he is no longer a half decent football manager . For 10 grand a week he has managed to make some pretty good players look like they wouldn't get a game in the local pub league team . If they keep him on to the summer we can write off the playoffs , it has been a downward spiral since his arrival .How do you know how much he gets paid?

Chicken George Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Imagine being a regular in McLeish's local. I can just imagine him sitting on a high stool at a bar, coat on back of stool, bespectacled, doing that thing were he taps the corner of his glasses while he peruses the form guide for the 3.10 at Kempton. He'd actually be alright I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 There's no way he can come through all this and still keep the jo- oh, wait, it's the SFA and he most definitely will. Nothing to see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of that, Jackson wrote a spurious story claiming he was being sacked that day, and cited a deeply troubling episode in a nippy wee aside insinuating it was a contributory factor.

He said he would be relieved of his duties over the next 24 hours which appears to be a load of shite but who can tell. We haven’t heard from the SFA or McLeish since then. You had to trawl through the rest of his article to get to this bit, which sounds a bit more like the SFA: ‘Maxwell has yet to call an emergency board meeting but it’s understood the rest of the directors are aware of his concerns over McLeish. It is expected they will be asked to officially rubber-stamp the decision to part company with the manager as early as next week.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 The next scoop will probably be about someone with wealth off the radar who wants to back Scottish Football. Hopefully he keeps his health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried walking it back with a follow up article the other day, which only served to say "if it doesn't happen immediately it's the board's fault it's going to happen some day I was right all along". As you say though, the lack of factual accuracy in that Scoop Jackson exclusive was not even the worst thing about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a sound bloke and would be welcomed back to Hampden. Levein and McLeish are rather obviously complete bellends. What has McLeish ever said or done to be described as a bellend?

Big Ally Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Dont know anything about Ian Maxwell but he seems as indecisive as the rest of the bungling Blazers on the SFA board . Big Eck has been a total failure and has lost the backing of 99% of the TA yet he still has the support of Alan McRae ? Eck must go now to give someone else a chance to sort out the mess before we hit the playoffs . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 The SFA should have addressed this, either by releasing a statement saying it was a load of shite and that they back McLeish, or by firing him. The silence is not good for them, McLeish or the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume that now the SFA are doing the ‘shall we sack him, aye or naw’ thing. Most of them probably can’t be bothered with the hassle of sacking him and recruiting a real manager given their lack of success in getting their man last time around with the boy from Northern Ireland.If I was betting on it, they’ll wait until the next round of games, maybe check how many fans turn up for the Cyprus game in June. Even then, I can’t see them getting a replacement unless he is officially ill. Even then, it might be a caretaker post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
