Anyway, I reckon the SFA should go after Steve Clarke, that will result in Saints leaping into 6th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland could do worse than Wright. People are shouting about Clarke but Wright has had better spells in charge of Saints and he’s done it consistently for years on an absolute pittance.

Saints have performed very well under Tommy based on all factors, winning the Cup at club level surely equates to something like qualifying for a major tournament at international level.

If it was just winning the cup it could be put down to one wee run. But Wright has proved year after year after year he can have consistency over seasons. Not just half a dozen games in a cup. Unfortunately Scotland suffers from a major cringe where we have the “He’s pish as he’s at a diddy club” attitude. The same eejits who shout for guys like Souness or Dalglish. Judging them on their playing career instead of looking at who can coach nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McInnes would have been worth a shout but like O'Neill I think he wanted to stay where he felt comfy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 This is a real chance to get a complete clear out and overhaul of the SFA and the relationship they have with the clubs because lets not forget the SFA are put there by the clubs and are complicit in the deteriation of our game If we cant get real change now we never will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think Steve Clark has more experience of different clubs , tactics and formations , while Wright is a one club man so his experience is a bit limited. Certainly don't want Malky Mackay, wasn't impressed with some of his selections and the performance against a terrible Dutch side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright was an International player too and played at the top level in England. I’d say he’s earned his stripes with regards to tactics, formations. Saints are actually the 4th club he has managed also. He’s no flash in the pan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty66 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 1 hour ago, JECK said: Never wanted him.My gut feeling is he's had 2 very good groups in a row, set is team up well in those obviously but he would never have qualified that NI team from our euro 2016 group or gotten top 2 in our last campaign. Step up in class between both groups and know one would be talking about him now. Exactly this. Could never understand the clamour for O'Neill.
