Collins: national boss doesn't have to be a Scot
HIBS boss John Collins today insisted the SFA shouldn't shy away from naming a foreign manager as successor to Alex McLeish - provided he is fluent in English.

Re: Collins: national boss doesn't have to be a Scot
I dont agree with that the next manager should be a Scot as foriengers never seem to be right and with vital world cup qualifiers we cant afford to appoint a manager who doesn't have a clue about Scotish football.

George Graham should get the job IMO.

Re: Collins: national boss doesn't have to be a Scot
The problems with the scotland job is its not held in that high a regard now, or maybe thats the case with all or most international posts, but to have your last 2 managers leave to take over at club level when they both still had plenty of time left on their contracts and were going to be offered extensions for reviving the national squad suggests its become a stop gap for managers who are out of work, if the likes of mark mcghee billy davies or even harry potter get the job and carry on with the progress which they more than likely will with our present squad then when vacancies arise in the english prem there going to be linked with the positions, out of that bunch who thinks they'd stay with scotland if others come calling?
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 5 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Then the other side of the coin is the likes of souness who's out of work but a big name who'd likely stay with us cause no other ****s will have the useless fecker

That fat gunt Salmond could fit it in with his other two part-time jobs. He does speak a sort of English but he might have trouble getting his gob round Sunshine on Leiff if the fans started singing it again.

Re: Collins: national boss doesn't have to be a Scot
I think Harry Potter is favourite.
At least he knows the Scottish game. McGhee another possible. Was Strachan not touted last time around? If Strachan might Celtic want JC? |

Re: Collins: national boss doesn't have to be a Scot
Souness will probably end up getting the position but I would hate that. We need someone who is has not been out of work for so long and someone who can continue in the way we have been going for the last year.
McGee or Davies are OK candidates and id pluck for the latter if I had to pick right now. Definetly has to be a Scot, we done so well because of our national pride, our never give up attitude and the desire of our players to take Scotland to staggering heights. Sucess depends on keeping stability in a 'can pick its self' team and we just need someone to take over the helms and steady the ship (a bit like NR if everyone would just let them get on with it To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 5 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. ). I know it would be pretty hard but I reckon getting Davies in with Tommy Burns or even trying to lure McCoist back would be the way to go. They guys know they could walk in and lift the dressing room easily and just as easily walk back into club footbal afterwards. Everyone is thinking about themselves at the end of the day. |

Re: Collins: national boss doesn't have to be a Scot
Isn't it about time that anyone ever associated with the huns is completely ignored for the Scotland manager job (thereby conveniently removing Souness, Billy Davies, & Alex Miller as remote possibilities!)? The last two managers never batted an eyelid at jumping ship at the first opportunity. And they were both huns. So get them tae feck.

Re: Collins: national boss doesn't have to be a Scot
I agree with Collins. aye, feels weird typing that.
The most important thing is no how Scottish the candidate is, it's their track record. I'd even take an Englishman (Roy Hodgson springs to mind). Of the names bandied about so far, I'd rather eat my own liver than have Souness in charge, George Graham makes Alex Miller look like the most attacking manager in Europe and hasn't had a job in what, 5 or 6 years? Billy Davies is murder, Levein I don't think should get it, Dalglish isn't interested, Jeffries isn't tactically aware enough, Jordan is more defensive than Graham... Burley would be the best shout out of the Scots mentioned I think. The SFA need to invest time, and money, in looking at the candidates as it's a pretty good gig in International terms now that we're riding high in the rankings. If it's a foreigner, the only credentials should be a good grasp of English ( one of Berti's main failings) and a track record of achievement at International or European Club level.
