Scotland - Burley sacked

[The Camel]

LOLOL @ Craig Gordon being the best British Goalkeeper.

He couldn't get in the Sunderland team for ages.

Darren Fletcher is the only genuine world class player you've got and that's only because he fits into the Utd system perfectly.

not as much as i loved steve mclaren as an england manager

as hated as mclaren was his record as an international manager is quite possibly better than any scotland manager in history other than mcleish

nonsense

Even that is debatable. He is very good at what he does but didn't get a regular place until Hargreaves was injured and even then it took even Utd fans ages to warm to him.

Ossie Ardiles now quoted as wanting the job.

Could be entertaining if he adopts the 1-2-7 formation he had at Spurs!

Craig Gordon is nowhere near Jaaskelainen, Given, Reina, Friedel or Van Der Sar, but then none of those are British, he is the best British goalie, and by a long way at present when England can only boast James, Foster or Green as their possible #1s.

You mean an England manager who couldn't even get his top seeded team to the finals? What an absurd suggestion. Better in my lifetime - Ormond, McLeod, Stein/Ferguson, Roxburgh, Brown, Smith, McLeish, in fact that is all of them for the last 30 years except Vogts & burley.

[Josedinho]

Certainly not by a long way. He's about Green's level. Nothing spectacular but not too worried they aren't world class. Worried me when he came to the Prem and said he struggled to adjust because they kick the ball harder and faster in England. If you offered to swap nationalities of Green and Gordon i wouldn't accept.

you seriously think ferguson has a better record as scotland manager than mclaren at england? I'm not talking about how good they are, simply their records and mclaren won, I would imagine, a bigger % of games than any of those you've named

doesn't change the fact that he's a cock though

having checked the stats every single manager you mention there has a worse record as an international manager than mclaren

Going back to OP.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!

And not before time, shame on the SFA for giving him another chance but well played in growing some balls and fixing their mistake.

There are two stand out candidates for me but I doubt either will be take the job even if offered it.

moyes and who?

Neither Moyes or Sir Alex are serious contenders where as Walter Smith or George Graham could be. Doubtful whether Smith will be at  Rangers beyond January but equally doubtfull the SFA would want him back after leaving to go to Rangers. George Graham appears to be retired from football management altogether and may be too controversial a character for the SFA. Two best realistic candidates by a mile IMO.

there ar 3 realistic choices IMO mcalister,leviein and calderwood

and outsider might be darren ferguson

Levien is far to good to take the scotland job, if he did he would ruin his career and never be rated as highly as he does at present.

The scotland job is only good enough for someone at Jim Jeffries level, anyone better than him will only fuck up their careers.

Im preying to god above that they sign Mowbray tho......please take him away from us!

yeah cause celtic are really going tso get someone better than mowbray while they are still in the spl

Anyone has to be better than Mowbray so yes they will


Did you know John Barnes had a better record as celtic manager that Tony Mowbray does. I found this out today and was nearly in tear's! it speaks for itself FFS

Early doors though, not really surprising John Barnes had a good start as Celtic manager then it all fell to pieces.  I think the players need to take most of the blame so far this season. WE WILL win the league this season and if he get the backing from the board the deadwood can GTF and mowbrays can build the squad he wants.

smith has to be the best option for Scotland, either that or a foreigner.  Couldn't bring myself to support a Scotland team led by souness!!!!!

FYP, to reflect my opinion!

dave as you said in a previous post that you couldnt support anything scottish why do you use the moniker scottish?
why not use something you do support like celtic dave or even just dave

seems odd that a guy who is so anti scottish uses it in his name

i never said i COULDN'T support anything Scottish, i said i don't support anything Scottish, cos basically it doesn't interest me. You are correct tho, i did say i COULDN'T support the football team, thats down to Rangers reasons (cant possible cheer for a rangers player...ever, and cant see why other celtic fans could, that goes for rangers fans with celtic players too!!)

as for my moniker, when i first joined Blonde i was just 'Dave' but things started getting confusing when people were getting mixed up with me and original owner of blonde Dave Colclough, therefore i changed my name to Scottish Dave to save confusion.

I love being scottish, i just have no interest in any scottish teams in any sports really, doesn't mean i don't like where i live.

isnt your wife / girlfriend a rangers supporter?

Her dad is a Rangers fan, (he doesn't go to any games tho, cos he is a black scab bastard!)

I don't support him either.

I think you missed the part where I mentioned McLaren managed the perenially top seeded England, he should be able to gain a better  win record in his sleep, but he failed to qualify for his only shot at finals, whereas every Scotland manager mentioned didn;t, I would say they had far better records than McLaren.
