It does seem a bit odd for a manager to (voluntarily) quit managing his own national side to immediately take up a job managing another international team - dunno if any of the South Americans you mentioned have done it that way without sackings or interim jobs being involved. I suppose he does have strong ties to Scotland given he lives here and spent much (most?) of his playing career here. I think he'd be a good appointment anyway - he's proven he can pull together a team that gets results with limited resource and he's often quoted as having instilled a "club side" culture in the Norn Irn players....which is probably harder to achieve than it sounds and is a great way to run a national squad if you can manage it. International players always say the right things about their commitment to the cause and wanting to win for the fans....but it's often clear that they really see it as little more than a distraction from their day job. If O'Neill can get them playing for each other as much as anything else then we'll probably see results. TBF though I don't know if having so many Celtic players in the squad will hinder or help him in establishing a "club side" ethos. If half the starting eleven all come from the one club then I can see it becoming a bit "us & them" even if those players are clearly the best available for their positions. |

Guy that owns my work is friends with Michael o Neill, told me he's been offered the USA job and the Scotland job. I've mentioned on here before that it's the same guy who told me the investors were lining the streets to put money in to Sevco once the Ashley deal was ripped up. So more than a pinch of salt taken with these comments |

I get that it’s a different culture in other parts of the world but, even in the examples you’ve listed, I don’t think any of them resigned and moved directly from managing their own country to take over at a neighbouring country. If, for argument’s sake, a Scotland manager left to take the England job, I think we’d all be a bit miffed! |

The Sun has Tim Sherwood, Gus Poyet and Henning Berg all in the running for the rangers job. They also have Tommy Wright replacing Michael O'Neil. |

Would have been an interesting shortlist in 2005. Today, that reads like a who’s who of yesterday’s men. |

This relentless sprawl of names for Head Orc just gets better. The staying power of all of the latest linked failures is beginningless. Each lasts about 9 months per job, currently about the Sevco average.

Caixinha's English is much better than Sherwood's in fairness. |
