It'll be the most obvious and cheapest option available. My money is on McLeish. Absolutely zero faith. Although I didn't have in faith in their ability to terminate his contract especially if it was a sacking with a fee. Fingers crossed for a European name with some pedigree.

Caledonian Craig Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Just now, Texas Pete said: Well who do you suggest then? I can see a lot of people in here are terrified that it’s going to be Moyes or McInnes but nobody seems to be making any alternative suggestions. I wouldn’t want Moyes or Coyle, MacKay’s racist controversy will stop him being considered but I wouldn’t mind McInnes. He’s a young, forward thinking manager and wouldn’t do any worse than Strachan. I wouldn’t mind Walter Smith having another go but I doubt he’d fancy it and lots of people would moan because he left us before. People seem to want a manager who has managed at the highest level, won’t cost too much and is a big name. Not asking for too much are they? I really am at a loss for Scottish candidates that fill me with hope. McInnes perhaps is the most interesting option who has done a very good job at Aberdeen. I'd even not be adverse to giving McLeish another go. Moyes - no not for me. I'd sooner have Collins or Lambert I reckon above Moyes. I'd sooner go foreign but who is available? I can't offer names on that front but am sure there are tasty options out there across Europe who are available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without being party to all who would apply for it then it's hard to say. Edited to add; Had he still been out of a job i'd have been keen for Alex Neil as he always came across as a brilliant man manager and motivator. This is key in international management. Most jobs he's had he's improved the team too. But I can't see him taking the job now he's at Preston.

dandydunn Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Mcinnes is under contract until 2019, they won’t pay aberdeen for him. Knowing the sfa, they’ll look to keep continounty and give it to McGhee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 What I see good in Derek McInnes is that he has done a good job at Aberdeen for a few years. Also key is that he is managing in the SPL so he will know the full potential of SPL players so is more likely to play McGinn, McGregor and such-like which is key I think. Moyes does not have that knowledge of the SPL so will look to other options (perhaps) first than the SPL to pick players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's absolutely no way in a million years he'd leave them before the WC if they have qualified, it just won't happen. With his comments about not being overly keen on club management at the moment, I would think he would be interested in speaking to the SFA should he decide to leave NI if they lose their playoff.

He's peaked with NI. How can he possibly do better? 2. We have better players and have more potential. We'd be an ideal new challenge 3. He knows exactly what he's walking in to. 4. He lives in Edinburgh so will not have to move his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParisInAKilt Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 In an ideal world the net would be cast far and wide and we would encourage applications from anyone. But I have zero faith in the SFA doing this but that’s not a reason to keep Strachan in employment when he has failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
