It's an appalling choice. Is there any other serious reasoning behind this appointment other than he once managed an old firm team? Will be fascinating to see the crowd at his first game – and what sort of squad bothers to pitch up for the friendlies. A lot of people don’t want him as he walked out of a job the last time, bit seriously who else could we bring in that was better than him and not in a job just now? Nobody else wanted it and he was the best candidate that was available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 So the 'strong list of candidates' after O'Neill declined the offer turned-out to be the second ex-manager approached after the first also declined the offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if that has to be the criterion for choosing a Scotland boss I'd have gone back on my hands and knees to Gordon Strachan. I had little time for Strachan and his myopic obsession with second-tier English football, but he's streets ahead of a slavering wreck like McLeish.

Has nothing to do with being ex-Rangers. Has everything to do with the fact he has been a total disaster of a manager for the past 5 or 6 years and looks terminally ill.

The SFA don't have a CEO and bringing in a fairly safe pair of hands who has done the job before gives them breathing space. Offering him it for any longer than that would be crazy. 2.5yr deal, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree strachan done my head in with his selections at times, but the thought of a steaming mcliesh writing names on a fag packet doon the boozer fills me with dread.

Maybe that is where we have been going wrong. Doing it professionally (kind of) has not seen us qualify for 20 years. Underwhelming choice for me. Would have rather gone for Steve Clark than McLeish. A new pair of hands. McLeish walked away and in no other job would your employers take you back. SFA are an utter shambles. After 20 years of being a member of the Supporters club.
