Also lets not forget he, like Strachan, suffered a loss in Georgia that ended up costing us qualification. Was that game not under mcleish?

andyD Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I wouldn't want McLeish back. Last few times I saw him he was looking very very old. He's only 57, but seems like he's going on 75. ;o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had he stayed loyal to Scotland then who knows but cannot be called a success but concede you couldn't call his tenure a failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mox Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Beilsa, Pelligrini, Martino, Rijkaard, Martin Jol, Hiddink and Villas Boas all good managers and all without a job. The majority of them may knock it back but it's worth asking the question and maybe offering them a salary that would make them think twice.An excellent foreign coach should be the priority.

OLAS Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Bielsa seems to be the number one choice judging by the posts on here. What's the big deal with him? How will he make us any better?

I'd doubt he'd come but it'd be an ambitious and bold appointment from the SFA. Without meaning to sound patronising (i'm led to believe i can come across that way sometimes... ), you should read a bit about him. A very interesting and tactically astute coach. He demands a lot of his players but what he will do is ensure that every single one of them knows their role inside out. They'll know where on the pitch they should be when we have and haven't got the ball. Most of all, he'd make watching Scotland tremendous fun.

He might well be the best football coach the world has ever seen but he's no Merlin the Magician. Watching Scotland isn't supposed to be fun.

I would be happy with Tata Martino or AVB from that list. Pellegrini is at a Chinese club, only found that out during an Andy Murray match that he was at last week. As I have already said, the assistants would have to be Scottish and also, does Tata and Marcello speak English? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
