I'm starting to think it will be Clarke though and mildly excited about that, he just seems the perfect fit great coach positive guy smart knowledgeable his teams try to play football but are pragmatic young for a manager and hungry. I think he could be a brilliant appointment that the SFA kind of stumbled upon by accident. Look at the impact he has made at killie, fantastic. Would have no problem with him finishing the season with them either. Of the Scottish candidates Clarke would be by far the best and most positive appointment. Clarke or Prandelli would be my choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, they obviously don't care enough to prevent his appointment to his current role, so I don't see why they wouldn't appoint him as the manager I hope I'm wrong but I think he's worth a punt at 8/1.

To be fair, didn't Belgium do exactly this for over a decade? They put more or less everything on the back burner in terms of immediate qualification and invested heavily in youth development in their country. Think they got to one or two tournaments in that time but they were certainly no great shakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 One of the worst aspects is the complete lack of imagination in the names mentioned. It seems like there is a list of 3 or 4 who are always mentioned when this job comes up. I have no doubt this seam of unoriginality runs right through the sad, gray members of the SFA, as their record of governance proves. That they even considered Walter Smith, let alone pretty much offered him it, was absurd and such a shit move. Michael O'Neil was a rare move away from their usual list of candidates, but they messed that up with a crap offer. Perhaps they never wanted him and he would be too radical. The SFA might consider that the Vogts appointment burnt them, but it was a move at the time that most welcomed (me included) and I don't think they can be criticised for trying something different. However they seem to be afraid to ever try appointing a foreign manager again, simply due to one that never paid off. If only they'd take that approach with Scottish managers and never appoint one again. In short, the SFA are dull, incompetent shite who utterly lack the imagination to appoint a good manager for the nation team, never mind run the game.

Gordopolis Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 What are they actually doing right now? It's not as if the list of candidates are busy or on the other side of the world. I bet they're trying to work out how to use email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forameus Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I think it all stems from being absolutely terrified of taking a risk. Now that's a fair enough worry to have, and we have been burnt in the past, but when the options we have using that strategy are so painfully uninspiring, sometimes you just need to do something, anything, even if that does mean we take a risk. I'm not going to say we have nothing to lose, because we absolutely do, but unless they go completely mental in terms of risk, it's hard to see any good, affordable option taking us right down. Particularly when the "safe" option has the same chance of doing just that. We're not ever going to be told, but it would be nice to know what the plan is. If they came out and said that after being burned before, they're going away and taking the time to make the right approach so they're not rejected, that's poor, but fair enough. Right now it just seems like they're sitting with their thumbs up their collective arses doing f**k all. That is going to massively backfire when they eventually hire some absolute jobber.

They're biased against whoever Celtic tell them to be. Noticed lawwell threatening the SFA yesterday, telling them implicitly appoint someone who will bow down to us or else. You're establishment bullies, and I first noticed your pish when you were acting all persecuted about a referee correctly giving a penalty in a game Celtic won at tannadice the week before an old firm game to create an atmosphere of intimidation that lead to a referee retiring and the rest going on strike.

Why, in 2012 when prize money was reorganized after rangers died, did second lose twice as much money as first in the spl? Why were Celtic allowed to postpone league games to play in money spinning friendlies? And why were lawwells mates appointed head of the SFA and SPL.

Celtic are the establishment in Scotland and bullies and lawwell is a snake. I thought all prize money was cut because of the TV deal being cancelled? It all went to a club vote anyway did it not? Celtic were allowed to postpone games as we already had commitments/contracts in place. I believe next season because there were no commitments this will no longer be allowed.
