If, by some chance it became possible to get him back it would just be admitting that failure is acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe the fact that he's coached at the highest level as right hand man to one of the world's best managers, but aye, maybe its the Kilmarnock thing.

And Michael O’Neil failed at first also. Strachan is our Alex Ferguson, our Michael O’Neil. But by hoofing him the way we did we may not be able to get him back. I would hope that someone at the SFA is making some sort of enquiries into reinstating Strachan and apologising to him and to us. Well, I can dream at least!

Aye theres no dispute regards him coaching at the highest level but the clamour for him seems to be in the main since he took over a Killie which is a bit strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're too busy mentioning the likes of Smith, Ferguson and even Strachan to notice there's other guys out there who are capable of doing the job. In Clarke's case he's just now getting any recognition due to the Killie job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not his fault his dad moved south for work. And he visits Scotland a lot I've read, its where all his family are. That said, defo Steve Clarke for me (and he has won 2 Premier Lgs and multiple cups in his managerial career btw) No he hasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 2 failed campaigns aren't enough for you. Nah, you're right, get him back so that he can continue to make the same mistakes he made for 4 yrs and have us continue to be generally average. I've heard qualifying for tournaments is overrated anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Jeez there seriously are some fruitloops around on here. A Allardyce is NOT Scottish B Strachan is not going to return. C Dickov for Scotland manager is like nominating Rolf Harris for award of 'Dad of the Year'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren’t a million miles away from reaching the playoffs under Strachan. Unlucky not to have won against England, and we were the only team to score in Slovenia. It was the Lithuania home game and Slovakia away that ruined it. Lithuania away we looked a real top international side. It was a great Scotland performance and I’d hate to not see that for a few years because our manager wasn’t capable. We know what’s possible under Strachan and I for one would be willing to gift him one more go at this. I can’t see a better candidate than him at the moment.

DoonTheSlope Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Walter Smith did say in his book that he had unfinished business with Scotland. This was however before he developed that chip on his shoulder and spat the dummy with the way the SFA harshly treated his beloved Rainjurs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossman4 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 The Times newspaper saying that the SFA board are looking at Clarke. As for Smith, very much hope that’s just a nonsense story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mox Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 If we were to even approach Walter Smith it would only serve to highlight how our top brass revel in our insularity. To have that dinosaurs name linked with the job at this stage is beyond embarassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumnio Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Walter Smith, seriously? The SFA should be looking to the future, not taking us back a decade. He hasn’t worked in 7 years, he walked out on Scotland mid campaign and what’s worse is, he was past it when he did that. Walter Smith, Gordon Strachan, Alex McLeish, these names being linked or suggested just go to prove that some people shouldn’t be allowed out. Fuck it, I want Jock Stein in charge, dig him up and walk him around in a bad comedy style, and he will still gave more about him than McLeish.

daviebee Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 It's an absolute fkin embarrassment having Smith even mentioned. I thought it was bad enough that there was support for McLeish but Walterosaurus??? Fck me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee-toon-red Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 The Smith nonsense seems to have grown arms and legs since Craig Brown mentioned it on Sportsound yesterday. Hopefully it's just the ramblings of an out-of-touch former coach and not something that's actually being taken seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
