Killie1970 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 McLeish me thinks. Think he's desperate enough to get back into management that he would accept it no bother. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I personally believe Neil Lennon would be the best fit for us... unfortunately it will never ever happen as it will alienate 50% of our supporters. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangodog Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I see Gary Caldwell wants the SFA to interview him for the job. Ask David Fernandez if he should get it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd do better under Lennon than any of the other names mentioned including Michael O'Neil! Gets results in high pressure big games, by getting most out the players available, just like Scotland need to. So you can forget anyone on the shortlist (like Caldwell) who's not done Rangers/Celtic in Europe or the EPL. Lennon's managed in Champions league at a much higher level than the other guys quoted. Couple of good results and he might even win the haters over! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bute-killiefan Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 It bewilders me that McLeish in not only being mentioned, but that people actually want him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest why? I wouldn't be against him from a managerial perspective, however he did walk out on us before, so I wouldn't give him the chance again. If Lennon or Caldwell get it my SSC membership will lapse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he hasn't had a job since 2016, and even then he was there 5 minutes. He has been a failure at most of the clubs he has managed since he walked out on Scotland last time. I truly believe that he is only being mentioned because he is Scottish. I think we should look for a non-Scottish coach. Bielsa is my preference Can I ask why Lennon getting it would mean you'd let your membership lapse? I understand Caldwell, I put him in the same braket as McLeish, only being mentioned due to where he popped out his maw.

Pelesboots Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Fair enough, and I understand your reasons. I like McLeish and still think he would do a good job but as I said previously, he walked out on Scotland before so this time it is a no from me. As for Lennon, I don't like his manner and the way he behaves. I believe you should have certain standards of behaviour to be a manager at that level and Lennon simply doesn't meet them IMO. Remember the way he behaved after we beat them in the League Cup final. I would be embarrassed to have him represent Scotland. I think we have a problem here as there is now no obvious candidate so maybe your guy is an option, although again I would doubt we have the money to get him, or someone similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangodog Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Lennon won't get it. Some muppets have already had a go at Leeann Dempster for SFA chief executive because she once had a season ticket for Sevco. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaker71 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) How about Davie McKinnon as chief executive at the SFA. yes he was at iPox but was great at us and scumdee in the chief exec role. also as an example player he would understand the game. as for manager we need to go outside the twisted sisters and Scotland and get someone with a record of getting the beat out of what they have. I reckon the current Cardiff manager would be a real left field choice! Edited February 3, 2018 by Beaker71 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killie1970 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 When you look at Wales appointing the likes of Gary Speed and Chris Coleman and Northern Ireland with O'Neill and the success that these guys have had at International level without the success as a Club manager, it makes you wonder if Scotland should be as bold and appoint a guy with similar credentials. We look as if we're running out of options anyway, so why not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyH80 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Its obvious McLeish' appointment isn't the most inspiring of choices. I believe it comes down to him being the best candidate who actually wanted the job. There are far better people out there to manage this country, but given how the SFA are working at the moment, no one in their right mind would touch the job. Stinks of desperation from both McLeish and the SFA. The only silver lining, hes got a decent record as Scotland manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can keep that up the criticism of the appointment will be short lived. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel4 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 I think it's a decent appointment. He's a safe pair of hands to take us through the Nations League and the Euro 2020 qualifiers. He's maybe not the most exciting manager, but he's a far better appointment than some of the names mentioned (Scot Gemmill, Thugwell, Yogi) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LH31 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 I think he was riding on the crest of a wave that Walter Smith created and he kept with the momentum. not inspired but thankful it wasn't Clarke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
