Alternative manager list

Same old names coming up I think we need a guy who is Scottish has a decent track record in europe or in management or both my ideal partnership would be Bobby Williamson as manager Ally McCoist to coach forwards, and Darren Fletcher for midfield along with Goram as goalie coach and big davie weir to organise defence.  That way we got all positions covered as well as international manager experience in Williamson. Perfect.

She's a troll.

She got banned recently and now she's back. Weird, if a forum didn't want me I wouldn't re-register. Pathetic, much, going back to a place where she isn't wanted.

I still remember when she accused me of being a heroin addict.

That's usually the go-to insult of English people to Scots, so I'm guessing she's English.

She's another person who peed their pants whilst butting heads with me.

Andy Goram couldn’t coach his way out of a wet paper bag. McCoist isn’t up to much either. Just because you’re a good player doesn’t automatically mean you’ll be a good coach. 

Some unlikely alternatives for me would be Tommy Wright, Colin Calderwood and Alex Neil.

I wouldn't bring them in as general coaches, because they don't have the ability. But as far as specialist coaches, I would.

Who better to coach goalkeepers than one of the finest Scottish goalkeepers? And don't England have a striking coach? I think McCoist knows more about the art of finishing than what's the guys called? Allan Russell?

Goram is a disaster of a man and should be nowhere near the set up. He was an amazing keeper but as I said, that doesn’t make him a good choice for goalkeeping coach. I’d prefer Jim Leighton. 

McCoist did fine under Smith so I wouldn’t have a problem with him joining the coaching team again but we could probably do better.

Actually, I agree with Leighton. If there was a choice I'd take Leighton 100 out 100 times.

As a manger McCoist was awful but I think as a specialist striking coach he would definitely bring something... plus he's an infection character, he'd be an asset for sure. Since Smith we've always have a manager flanked by two coaches, so If it were to choose the coaches I'd take Darren Fletcher and Ally McCoist with Steve Clarke as manager.

I’d take that right now. Can’t see Fletcher joining the coaching set up until he retires from playing though. I think he’s 35 so it could very well be in s couple of weeks but he might play on for a year or 2.

He should quit Stoke asap, as he isn't really getting much of a look in.

In the future, though, I can see him being a top coach or a top manager. He has that aura about him that you can't hep but admire him and listen to him. In terms of pundits and commentators, he speaks with more eloquence and more sense than pretty much all of them combined. 

Plus he loved playing for Scotland, through wellness and illness.

Infection character? Not sure that's an asset.

I still think there's a place for Goram though. He could be in charge of what songs the boys have to sing on the team coach.

Of the non STD variety.

Nah. Someone could say that it would be hiring two coaches for the price of one, but mental illness is nothing to be laughed at it... Unless it is...

Have you seen the size of McCoist lately? I'm not sure he could get his fat arse on to a training pitch to coach anyone.

All he'd be required to do is set up shooting drills and give tips and advice.

Really, that would be an acceptable roll for a coach of any team let alone an international side? In that case would he even need to show up, could he do the role while he's simultaneously on the radio with Alan Brazil and just Skype instructions? If that's the road we go down, we should just chuck it now.

Have you ever seen a coach do their work? They don't run and do cardio and ball work with the players. Coaches instruct, they don't participate. 

We should chuck it now? I wouldn't shed a tear if the Scotland team was disbanded tomorrow.

I coach at grassroots level and I think we all know there's more to it than that. Yes, maybe they don't run about, but do you think any modern day striker is going to take advice from some fat slob who was decent 15 yrs ago. Again, the games changed since when the likes of McCoist and Walter Smith were successful and I don't think they offer anything going forward. McCoist hasn't been involved anywhere else, why should he be involved with the national team.

People might have an axe to grind with Smith and McCoist, but I don't.

Do I think players would listen to a guy who scored over 300 professional goals, including 19 for Scotland? Yes. Plus he's a likeable character, in a dressing room and out in a training field you have to have a balance between serious and fun. Look at United under Mourinho, everyone was miserable, and it showed on the park.

Not saying that all he would be is a cheerleader. One thing he knows how to do is score goals. If England can employ Alan Russell, a former Hamilton striker, I think McCoist knows a tad more about goal scoring .

Mccoist might be the worst football manager of all time
