Scary Bear Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Wait, what? Since it's been more than 24 hours I think it's safe to say we can all tell it was a load of shite.The 24 hours thing sounds like wishful thinking on Scoop Jackson’s part, but I’m assuming someone at the SFA tipped him off that it was a possibility. No? Did he just totally make that up? If so, that’s pretty poor.The second bit that I pointed out sounds more like the m.o. of the SFA. f**k about for a while talking about what to do, then in all likelihood fail to get a majority for sacking/replacing him. Then the furore will all have blown over and they can just continue meandering aimlessly along until the next crisis, then repeat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 3 hours ago, DA Baracus said: 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. You mean you'd like them to come out and say they don't have any plans to discuss the managers future? https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/17533949.sfa-no-plans-to-meet-today-to-discuss-mcleishs-future/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only straight answer they can give us is "McLeish will continue" or "McLeish has been sacked". If they're in the middle of making that decision then they can't really give a straight answer, hence an ambiguous "no plans" statement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I think that would be a poor move but given the stories going about they should be clear on what's happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I think that would be a poor move but given the stories going about they should be clear on what's happening. I think that would be absolutely bonkers. Lets say we come out tomorrow and say exactly that - fans start to get excited and call for the SFA to follow through on sacking. We get to the end of the SFA discussions and they've decided to keep him. Fans go mental, cry incompetence at the SFA, demand board is removed. All the while McLeish has been sitting there watching fans celebrate his sacking that never came, and now he's got to try and do a job for guys who he knows spent weeks considering putting him on the dole. It would be a massive clusterfuck. 2 minutes ago, Scary Bear said: They could say that Record article is rubbish and Jackson is a clown. But what if it's not all rubbish? Should they confirm that yes Alex McLeish went through a "deeply troubling episode" and we're now considering sacking him? That would be mental and completely disrespectful to their employee and his family. I get that people want McLeish out, I do too, but we don't need to know anything right now. Reading between the lines I'd say the SFA are considering sacking him, lets just see what happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was just a No voter I wouldn't be bothered. But he wasn't. He was involved in media for the No campaign and urged folk in Aberdeen to vote for his pal Willie Young in a by election. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 If he was a decent manager and did that then I honestly couldn't give a f**k. So I don't give a f**k because he's been shite either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actively campaigned to not make his nationality Scottish and walked out on Scotland. If you think that's acceptable for a Scotland manager then I find it cringey as f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 That whole vote No thing was rather bizarre but I find it bizarre overall. We're a funny bunch. I'm half hoping we get pumped by Cyprus, know I won't when it comes around. But I cannot stand these c***s in the SFA at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ally Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Let's get back to the point , Eck has been a total failure this time round and has to get the heave before it's too late. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm reminded of what Jennie said to Alan Partridge: "How did you get this job? Did you win a competition?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
