Yup. There is no doubt Scottish football needs overhauled completely but turkeys don't vote for Xmas. Who is going to do what is required? The thing I have about Strachan leaving is that I don't think any successor the SFA appoint will be any better. |

Ask Brendan what he would do. Ask Brendan how he's achieved what he has at Celtic, with what Ronny had. Ask Brendan what we need to do to improve. Then do whatever he tells them. Easy. |

![]() Dominik DiamondVerified account @DominikDiamond Oct 9 The only problem this Scotland team has with genetics is that Strachan's Dad shagged Strachan's Mum and produced a huffy arrogant wee pumpkin. |

Be brown envelope central. So no change at all for the SFA. |

Actually think allardyce would do a good job and he's apparently looking for an international gig. Candidates like, Alex Neil, Lambert and Collins will feel they are to young for it and wouldn't be interested. Agree that things will never change till the bowlers and blazers are rooted out and we get a proper football association |

So how have the Republic and Northern Ireland overcome what must basically be the same genetics as Scotland? WGS is talking mince, as usual. |

Thats not a bad idea actually, you should be fast-tracked to the SFA board. |

Disagree. The majority of the starting 11 will most likely come from a Celtic team coached by Rodgers into playing with the ball on the deck and using possession to win games. Sam has never set a football team up to do that so we'd end up with a situation where 6/7 technically inclined footballers (along with the likes of Robertson, Burke, Christie etc) would be forced to smash it up the park to follow their manager's will. A team should never be set up to accommodate the weakest link; it should be set up to exploit the best players available. |

Allardyce would be a terrible appointment. Scotland - as Strachan has pointed out in his own unique way - don't have big enough players for Allardyce's brand of hoofball. |

Sam Allardyce. Tell you what, before Strachan goes and we need to decide who to replace him with, let's concentrate on replacing Regan first eh? From any objective viewpoint, across any KPI, the man has been a complete failure. A deeply divisive, polarising figure who thought Craig Levein had the look of an international manager. Quite apart from anything else, he should have been bulleted for that. |

I think Shinnie is a player with a bit about him who could possibly thrive if given the opportunity at a higher level. McLean is awful and Walker is far too inconsistent at the moment. Definitely think Shinnie should have been given more of a chance at least. Scotland missed a trick with the likes of the friendly against Canada etc would have been a good opportunity to pick a squad of home based players and have a look at a few of these guys. GS has, rightly, been criticised for his seeming preference for English based players but the truth is there aren’t too many great options waiting to step up from the SPL. As a big a problem is that he seems to pick the wrong players time and again. Sticking with Hutton and Hanley for far too long, persevering with the hopeless Phillips while the impressive Ryan Fraser hasn’t really been given a run out. Sticking with Barry Bannan, a player who plays like he’s read a book about playing in midfield but never actually watched any football. I can understand the attempts to bring continuity to an international set up and foster a “club side” mentality but it long ago went beyond that into pig ignorant stubborness. And above all that the genetics pish should see the end of his reign. Effectively saying the job is impossible whatever he does. That’s a clear sign it’s time to give someone one a chance. Allardyce would be fine imo |

I think they'll get shot of WGS and offer it to Moyes. After his latest stint at Sunderland, I think that might actually be a backwards step. |

Agree with all here. I also think Shinnie is a decent player. |

The problem goes far deeper than Strachan. The SFA should be cleared out from the top and started again by people who are a) competent b) not corrupt and c) who actually give a shampoo about Scottish football. |
