Clyde1998 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 It really depends on the budget available to the SFA as to what standard of manager we could attract. Somebody mentioned Marcelo Bielsa, who wouldn't be a bad shout, if he would be interested, given his success with Leeds (injuries seemed to cost him heavily there) and significantly improving Argentina and Chile previously.

Daz1982 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Next manager can’t have a negative outlook or inferiority complex, so think that rules out most, if not all Scottish candidates. The likes of Souness openly talks about us not having good enough players, so he’d be down playing our chances the minute he walked through the door, McInnes would also be very negative in his approach. I’m tired of the pish, downtrodden Scottish mentality to everything, and the air of inevitability that our next failure is just around the corner. We simply rolled over yesterday and went down without a fight against a poor Ireland team, it really isn’t good enough. We are crying out for a manager who can set the team up in a non-submissive manner and inject some positivity, belief and enthusiasm into the players. A Jurgen Klopp type mentality is required. Slaven Bilic would do a good job in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is on the wind up. No fan with a true interest in the country would want Souness anywhere near the job. He wouldn’t want it anyway. He is only interested in giving his opinion on others, he could not cope when faced with his own inevitable failure . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has proven he puts other interests over that of Scotland ie union over Scotland and voting Tory who are a minority part in Scotland since the 1950s. I doubt Newcastle fans would call him a winner either. Any club he has been at where money was an issue he flopped. He is proven two-faced fucker as well. Heard him after England game gushing about what a player Gilmour was then post-Ukraine he has the nerve to slate him and say he shouldn't be in the side.

Bobby Russell's Lovechild Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Going back to Wales, how have they managed to virtually get back to back success with managers from their own nation.

I don't think it's necessary for an international boss to have been a hugely successful club manager but they do need to be a good tactical coach. Gareth Southgate's achievements at club level are meagre but with England he's shown he knows how to win, how to manage a game and also when to change things.

scotlad Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Some good suggestions so far. I'd thought of Erik Hamren, former Sweden and Iceland boss who's currently available. Rafa Benitez, perhaps, if he fancied a stab at international management, but he's probably outside the SFA's price bracket. The only Scot I'd consider is Davie Moyes but he's not leaving West Ham any time soon. Realistically then, it'd likely be Derek McInnes, Malky Mackay or Jack Ross, in which case we'd be better off sticking with Clarke and just hoping this is bad patch! 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, but they've had really good managers, one after the other since, and including, Speed. They have all had a hand in the success of them reaching three major finals In a very short period.
