    Now the Airdrie job is filled attention switches down the road, as the managerial merry-go-round continues. 

    Obviously the person coming in is going to be determined to a large extent by the the salary on offer.  They are also left with a very tough job, with little budget to improve the squad.

    So who are the favourites for you guys?  What do you think of the following?

    (I'm not sure they'd all be in your budget, or you'd want any of them!)....  Allan Moore (Assistant Mgr at Clyde), Stevie Aitken, Tom Courts (recently left Kelty), Tony McInally (recently left Pollok), Kevin McBride, Sandy Stewart, Jim Chapman.

     

     

    I think Stevie Aitken would be more interested in the Stirling job. From the rest of your options, I think I would opt for Jim Chapman but I would throw in another name, John Coughlin, he did a great job at East Stirlingshire starting with 6 players on £30 a week. Surely it would be better to go with someone who has been there and proved they can do it. In league 2 with the smallest budget. The objective this season must be to stay in the league by points or play off. 

  2. I did, I was part of a working group which had input to the PMP consultancy which had guaranteed UK government funding as long as all recommendations were approved. I argued long and hard to use the funds earmarked for Hampden redevelopment to build 8 football centres throughout the country. Play internationals throughout the country and play finals at the most suitable venue for the finalists. This was 2001. Now after 20 years of trying to improve the situation I have recently retired. Why would I be unaware of the SFA responsibilities? It was to them the original post was directed. I find your reaction strange and very revealing.

    Maybe you should have. Don't recall Blackburn United stepping forward to rejuvenate Scottish football or provide a world class venue (FIFA's judgement, not mine) for the national team or hosting european club finals or hosting a global sports event that attracted hundreds of millions of pounds of investment into the Scottish economy?

    As for your lick of paint comment; this is the Third Hampden, arguably the Fourth after it's rebuild. QP also built the first and second, each time moving onto bigger and better. Each time providing a stadium for the national team. In fact, the very first Scotland team was entirely fielded by QP players who also provided the navy jersey that still to this day is Scotland's home colours. In our one hundred & fifty year history no other club has ever stepped forward with a case to have the national stadium anywhere else than Hampden.

    Yes, lets live in the past, do what we have always done, because we are so successful. Why not play all internationals at Hamilton Crescent?
