Yeah, that's a very bad idea. I'd happily have him involved though with a view to the future. Every well run organisation should succession plan, i'd be happy with him being ours.

We’d be better with Gemmil but that doesn’t fill many of us with hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazmidd Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 See having someone like Southgate or Gemmill in charge or even Fletcher for that matter is all very well if you have a squad as talented as England's. Whereas we need someone that can motivate our players to give them more than their talents can give. I don't see Gemmill or Fletcher being that man although they may prove me wrong and it may work. I would rather hedge my bets on someone though who is proven to be a great motivator and communicator and great at organising a team into an effective system. Someone with experience but who works well with younger players and is still in touch with the modern game. My pick would be Alex Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the next candidate for me would maybe be Steve Clarke although I have reservations about his overall record and between him and Moyes there probably isn't a great deal of difference. Moyes may get greater instant respect from the players just for the fact he is a house hold name down south. Both though seem like they would not be the type of characters to stand for the fiasco of the recent call offs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Third Lanark Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I'd take Moyes IF he had Fletch as his assistant. He's bound to head back down south if successful so we need a successor groomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan Chris Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 In the short term this would be an attractive job I reckon. Everyone knows the euros group is a bit of a free hit now so incoming manager will get between 6-8 competitive games to assess things. Then they get potentially two play offs to become first Scottish manager in over 20 years to take team to major tournament and thus becoming national hero in the process (seeing as probably a fair few now think Scotland will never qualify for anything again). If that happens suddenly the stock is higher in wider media and you can get a better club job.....no wonder Moyes is suddenly pipping up about being interested. Personally I'd prefer a younger candidate with a fresh vision but they tend to be thin on the ground these days north of the border. Before McLeish got the job I said Steve Clark was a very viable candidate given the managers he's worked under and the job he was doing at Killie and that has continued. Only issue is if things go wrong people would have his number due to him calling out the Rangers fans on abuse...🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way Moyes actually had a better win percentage at Man Utd than Brendan Rodgers did at Liverpool. Rodgers went to Celtic afterwards and is now lauded. Moyes made two bad career moves. Then his last club West Ham he kept them up when they were in trouble. West Ham are a big club and it says a lot for him that he was their go to guy to get them out of trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have an absolutely honking qualifying campaign confidence will be rock bottom going into that play off and we could be watching another horrendous performance against a team that we could be well with in our abilities to beat!

He inherited the best team in England at Man Utd. His successor inherited the 7th best. Kinda daft not to put the context to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
