Found out eventually? In terms of qualifying results we had 7 solid years of getting good results. Fair enough the tournaments were disappointing but the qualifying results couldn't have been much better. Not saying you specifically but many on here have constantly slagged him, some have even referred to him as a prick and a cunt. Hard to understand that mentality regarding a manager who was relatively successful for us.

It still doesn't warrant the constant slagging he takes on here. Also the barring the world cup the results over the last 2 years were pretty good.

I would say entitled is a pretty fair way to describe many ppl in here. We had a manager who took us to our first world cup in 28 years and got us to 3 tournaments out of 4 after 20 odd years in the wilderness yet he was hated/disliked by many on here. Many ppl on here felt we were entitled to definitely hump Haiti despite us not winning a match since 1990. The levels of arrogance was worse than the English. Obviously the poster that's pointing it out can be annoying to many ppl but hes got a point with what hes saying. It could be a seriously rude awakening for these ppl if the next appointment is useless.

Clarke did a fairly good job no? Disappointing at the tournaments but he did at least get us to them.

Ok we finally got there or sort of lol. I find it madness you would pick the likes of Alex Neil over Moyes or benitez. Fair enough benitez hasn't done much in recent years but the guy won 2 la liga titles with Valencia and reached 2 champs league finals one of which he won with an average Liverpool side. Moyes has successfully managed in the epl for years taking an average team like Everton and getting them into the champs league and then winning a European trophy in the last few years with West ham. Both managers are several levels above Alex Neil. Be interesting to hear what other average nobodies you would pick over benitez and Moyes. Would you pick some manager of a Scottish league 1 side if he told you he thought our squad was brilliant and would go all out attack with it. Theres levels to football and turning down world class managers because they gave an honest assessment that Alex Neil would probably agree with is silly to say the least. You've made a strange assessment that Moyes is just a Clarke clone. Moyes has been a far more successful manager than Clarke and would perhaps install a bit confidence in the players and would have them playing better in a tournament. Yeh thats fair enough, I understand that if we can afford benitez and Moyes then you would prefer other options but I find it strange that ppl in here would turn down guys like Moyes or benitez in favour of the absolute dross thats being touted. We have ppl turning their nose up at Martinez as well. If we could land any of those three then surely we would have to take that opportunity.

Just trying to break you free from the delusional mindset that you have. That way you won't be so angry and abusive when the results don't go our way. You want Scotland to be super successful I get that but unless the players are there then thats not happening and lashing out at the manager constantly isn't the answer.

I don't think ppl are grasping your radical thinking lol. I agree though. All you need to do is host it in countries with enough stadiums and infrastructure so that more games can be played daily.

You haven't actually answered the question I asked though. Would you take benitez over the dross thats being suggested in here?

I haven't shifted any goalposts. It's a simple question that hes too stubborn to answer. It's not difficult. Maybe you want to answer it. Would you take benitez or Moyes as Scotland manager if offered them? Trying to worm out the question by claiming he would go for guardiola or klopp is just a way of him not answering it because he knows it's crazy to turn down two top class managers in favour of the dross thats being suggested in here.

Personally I would prefer more games for us to play. It's always annoying that we only play 3 games and then it's home time. The fun of a major tournament always ends to soon for us. Obviously they will never have bigger groups than 4 for obvious reasons but personally I would like it as a fan.

The top two seeds would be spread out across more groups so you would imagine that would create weaker groups but there is no 3rd place lotto so my guess is that it would be pretty much the same chance of trying to get out the groups for the likes of Scotland.

Might do him some good to stay the full season. Far too often young players move too soon and then struggle. Hes doing well there and his confidence will be sky high.

It's a bit ridiculous to be expanding it to 64 but you could say the about 48 team expansion so I am not sure it matters that much. Does it say how many extra places uefa get? I would guess that they will hand most of the extra places to the other Confederations but there must be few extra for Europe. We might actually get to another world cup if this happens.

Thats not what I asked you though. I never gave you the option klopp or guardiola.

Depends if you call the championship a decent level. Whatever way you look at it we dont have strikers scoring freely at the top level. Trying to suggest Stewart does kind of proves my point. I feel your trying to trip me up by over analysing what I said. I know we have strikers scoring goals at lower levels. I already pointed out shankland. Also how many goals has Ross Stewart scored over the last two seasons. I will give you a hint it's not that many.
