Allardyce rules himself out of the Scotland gig. Probably waiting for a Chinese/Arab club to offer him funny money, the dodgy fat pumpkin:

So, that's about the only half decent name I've seen touted...ruled out. :lol:

Damaged goods to be fair Big Sam, but the options now don't look better than Strachan. Rip it up and start again with an inferior coach looming.

Coyle and Clarke taking jobs with smaller clubs up here is interesting. Don't think either would have been interested even a year ago. Obviously both careers on the slide but something else happening?

Rodgers raising the profile of the league? Or maybe they realise that there's no point taking a job in England when you could be out in a few months if results don't go your way?
Nothing else happening. No one down south offering them jobs.

Completely missed Coyle getting the Ross County job.

Typical Moyes in the quote as well.

Thought with the right approach and chat Sam maybe have looked at it but hey ho.

Feck knows now but looks like they will go Scottish. Despair at the names none really jump out at me to be frank.

Lambert at a push but he ia a mix bag as well.

Would much rather Regan would resign he has been nothing short of incompetent and results have been a disaster under him.

Then someone at helm who has a new grasp of where we want to go and appoints someone who is fresh young and knows how to setup a team.

Really don’t understand why the no1 criteria for managing the international team is that the coach must be Scottish.

Aye, but Berti Vogts but. Pure jingoism.

Who would you chose MB?

i agree with you that it should be the best man for the job. I want a progressive manager - not a jobs for the boys appointment.

The names are depressing as eff

I don't think the names left in the mix with Big Sam's removal are inspiring at all. Looks like we would have been as well sticking with Strachan. Despite illogical selections at times we were on an upward trajectory in terms of results.

If Mackay was an absolute magician as a manager I'd give him a 'second chance' but he isn't, so I'm perfectly content to lever his past indiscretions against him.

It's double standards but it's what football fans are best at. Anyone preaching otherwise is full of shampooe.

As Jules Winnfield might say, Mackay would have to be one charming motherfeckin pig to get a pass here.
That's it for me too.

We should just give it to whoever's the Dortmund B coach and give him a 7 year contract.

feck knows, but there are literally hundreds of out of work experienced managers who would surely be no worse than some of the names bandied about. We shouldn't even sniff at McLeish, Mackay, Lambert just because they were born here.

Malky McKay has taken numerous courses and has also undertaken a lot of speeches to school kids and others about racism and misogyny. He's faced up to the fact that what he wrote in 3 texts out of thousands was wrong. He's publicly spoken out about it yet some people would deny him his livelihood.
I know what he did is wrong and so does he. He's now an advocate for inclusion so he deserves a chance without all the moral crusaders having a go when it is very likely that those same people have likely overstepped the mark unwittingly as I know I have.
Yawn.

No-one is denying the reformed Malky X a livelihood. However, he shouldn't be the figurehead for the game in Scotland. I wouldn't trust him to give an appropriate message to children, never mind the whole football community.

The SFA once again have proven how utterly tone deaf they are.
I'm sure that the goalscoring Celtic striker has more influence over young impressionable children than another nonentity managing the Scotland national team ever will.

We've got one of them who was charged by the Police for racism.

There are no morals in football, if he was a good manager he'd be given the job, football is an industry that turns a blind eye to racists, drunk drivers, adulterers, woman beaters so long as they are a good footballer/manager.

He won't get the job because he's not a good manager, no other reason.
You could also add compulsive biters to that list. ;)

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Was mackay guilty of this before?
There were many texts, and they were disgusting. I think it was all once incident as such.
What's the difference between texts and private conversations? I know dozens of people who regularly tell racist jokes, or otherwise belittle people of certain ethnic origin. Some of them have really good jobs too. The only difference between them and Malky Mackay is that they have not yet, so far as I know, been stupid enough to to do so in a form of media that can be traced and copied.

In the spirit of 'competing nations' - can it not be argued that the manager should meet the same eligibility requirements as the players ?

He really is a sleekit wee man.

I cannot fathom liking him after Seville and breaking my heart :lol: back to football matters the way he sets his teams up no matter who he manages ( he plays the most unattractive football ) considering the money he spends as well :ffs: .

PSG i see he mentions.... good enough fit for them both

Why?

Doesn’t apply in any other sports that I can think of.
