Scosha Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Just saw his interview there on the news. He's rattled. Standard arsehole replies from him as well. Hope he's punted in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously pissed off, but again he just comes across as a wee p***k. Sooner he's gone the better. Usual sarcastic stuff with the bit about thinking about his future when he's about to die. Earlier bit about it being offensive to ask about his future because he's not thinking about himself, unintentionally belies part of the whole issue. Whether he stays or not is about more than just his own personal situation and feelings because increasing numbers of people appear to think he's part of the problem. I don't expect him to say he wants to leave, but it's not good enough to default to being snide and act as if his own feelings on continuing as manager are the only valid consideration.

Allan Jacobsen Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Would a younger or older manager be better? Or does it not matter at all? Italy appointed Ventura as boss this year and he's 68. Ex-Napoli and Lazio boss Edy Reja is 71 but has a pretty decent record from memory. He got Napoli promoted from Serie C1 to Serie A in consecutive seasons (albeit that Napoli were still bringing in over 50,000 spectators a week in the third level and had some cracking players in their team) but Lazio were struggling horribly when he came in and turned them around. Will the SFA splash the cash to bring in a top coach though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoriginalhedge Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 They should be thinking about more than just a coach. ...........More an Icelandic set up from top to bottom . But that is admitting defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see us try something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 The list of criteria needed is as follows. 1. Picks the best players available regardless of club, personal grudge, one if the boys/favourites. 2. Plays the best team available 3. Can organise a defence 4. That's about it really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth recalling when we played Belgian in the qualifiers a few years ago they were are the height of their (supposed) powers, and our media was fawning over the whole question of how they did it. During one interview their PR chapped stepped-in to clarify - and this is almost a verbatim quote, AFAICR - "we have no strategic plan and no national performance centre". We have strategic plans and now a national performance centre anyway. If anything the problem is that we keep 'ripping-it-up and starting again' with youth strategies.

Officer Barbrady Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Away defeats in the arsehole of the back of beyond of the USSR, draws in the North Atlantic, and the many, many new ways we find to humiliate ourselves i can handle. But now discounting the final quarter of matches as 'the game's finished'?? Lowest point has been reached. Ever. This literally cannot get worse.

dogmc Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Got to add, all good and well punting Strachan, but one more is constantly forgotten here, Stewart Regan... This man has been a complete and utter failure, every single part of the Scottish Football game has regressed under him with the exception of the woman's game. His tenure has been unacceptable and that's forgetting his poor handling of the Rangers episode 4 1/2 years ago. Regan out, Strachan out and don't forget that other p***k Doncaster as well. Bye bye lads Couldn't agree more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
