Left field jonny foreigner with tactical expertise and international experience for me pls. Clarke will stay tho.

HuttonDressedAsLahm Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Why is there a long list of Scottish managers with almost zero success (never mind experience!) at international level? Realistically Moyes is the only Scottish name on that list worth considering. The rest is a who’s who of absolute dross. I’d much rather go for an experienced manager who has found success with other small nations, or clubs on a limited budgets. If it was any other job on earth, that is EXACTLY who an employer would be looking at. Narrowing the list on nationality alone would get you thrown out of a role within the recruitment process. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qos_75 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 I doubt we need to concern ourselves too much with the potential candidates that we think may be in the running. The job is Clarke’s to vacate, unless it goes horribly wrong during World Cup qualifying. Even then, you would imagine we would be able to clinch a play-off spot now we are in with the tier 1 nations of the nations league. I would be genuinely surprised if the SFA binned him. Given some of the names mentioned, it might be better to keep him too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 The SFA aren’t going to sack him for the performance in this tournament, and nor should they really. It’s for clarke to have an honest reflection on whether he still wants to do it and whether he can reinvent the side again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They now fill Hampden for competitive games. I was at Hampden for the 4-0 (going on 10-0) thrashing from Belgium in 2019 for a WC qualifier and there were 25,000 rattling about in there for a game against the top seeds in the group. Even the Finland friendly had 40,000 at it and most competitive games are selling out at the minute.

It’ll be the WC qualifiers they could struggle with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoP Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Regards attendance at the NL games I’ve already bought those tickets, can’t miss the points but am seriously considering entering then leaving the stadium Steve Clarke has shown this last 9 months/ year that he doesn’t have it to change when things don’t work. Im not expecting anything different in the autumn and it doesn’t excite me one bit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 We need someone with a proven ability to get his team punching above their weight for a sustained period, even when working with limited players and without the resources of his peers. Someone who has recent, up-to-date knowledge of modern footballing trends and hasn't been out of the loop for 10+ years. Someone the SFA can realistically afford, familiar with the culture and language. Step forward Dick Campbell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not expecting anything different in the autumn and it doesn’t excite me one bit Isn't part of being a supporter supporting the team through the bad times and the good? Through thick and thin. Is that an old concept? I'm not judging, I'm just curious as to when it turned from going along to support the team to expecting to be entertained. I suppose when you have to pay money for tickets then your expecting a return for that in the form of entertainment. Is that the logic? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuttonDressedAsLahm Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Derek McInnes is the most inward-looking parochial management candidate we could possibly conceive. Thankfully, these novelty betting lists are just a free way to separate mugs from their money. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
