Wouldn't want Michael O'Neill at CP but as an International manager he has done far far better than Strachan |

I suspect he has half an eye on the Celtic job, should it become available in a few years. Meantime, he can improve Killie and his managerial reputation too. As for Scotland, McKay and McLeish would serve up more of the same. I'm not a big fan but McIness would be a better bet than both of them. |

Of course he should have stayed, you see what's happening now, right? It's not even a debate for me, and Michael O'Neill has miles to go before he achieves anything in the game versus Strachan. |

Yeah, undoubtedly. Don't think he's a better manager though. |

The core is there, Gordon was too dependant on guys who were simply not good enough for too long but he was changing things up and his record latterly was good. He was brave enough to go back to home based players. Initially, as with all Scotland management, he was dazzled by those plying their trade down south. I think by the end he was gradually moving away from that which would have represented a major forward step in the culture of the job. He was going in the right direction, now it's roll the dice time with no stand out options available. Edited by Pussyfoot, 22 Jan 2018, 03:37 PM.

Yep. Agree. Might be something for a bold young appointment. I really don't care too much but a Mackay, McLeish thing would signify another lapse in judgement |

The SFA’s priority for 5+ years has been to whitewash the circumstances of the first Rangers club’s demise and it’s attempts to prop it up, and to promote the welfare of the new club at any cost. It and Regan have done well in those regards. |

Strachan was a decent manager 10 years ago. Since he left CP he has done nothing of merit & sounded like a MWI uncle at a wedding after party in someones kitchen in a few of his post/pre match interviews. Height thing & Lithuania (home game at start of last campaign) not a 3 point must ...to name 2 chronic comments. Yesterdays man is WGS. MO stock is clearly high just now & justifiably so. Club role is his focus for new job it seems. |

Like you I'm not really bothered, it does highlight the inadequacies of the SFA quite nicely, though if one bastard leaves in Regan, another bastard walks right in. That aside, the sacking and subsequent appointment process has been a shambles, it was always destined to be so and those that did want Strachan gone, well what else did they expect?

Obscure one, possibly for pub quizzers... when was the last time the SFA did anything right? |

Will he get a good job like Man of Today Chris Coleman, who held a better job at club level a decade or so ago himself? Club management is where O'Neill now has to prove himself, his accomplishments with Wales didn't do much for Chris. |

I’m not too bothered about O’Neill turning us down, I just hope that the SFA don’t panic into appointing the likes of McKay and McLeish |

No need to apologise, it's hilarious. Not an amazingly original thought, but the whole organisation needs gutting, from top to toe. Have they asked Ferguson? Would they? Would he entertain it? |

My point is Strachan has regressed badly to the point people now laugh at his pish patter & comical press conferences. He has opened himself up to ridicule and results on the pitch have resulted in failure (bottom line). O'Neill at the moment is thought more highly of generally speaking I would suggest is fair to say. |
