Shteve McLaren pimping himself around again as a manager....(Although League 1 Oxford United have just sacked their manager. The Wally with the Brolly was a player there back in the day and that division might be his level)

Would be really funny if they went for McInnes.

Win win really. He could turn them down (which I think he would), and expose the SFA for the dicks they are. Or even better considering his sparkling European record, he could actually take the gig.

Noticed that Cesare Prandelli was sacked by his club in Dubai on Friday. Not sure whether he is likely to be a candidate for the Italy job again, but kind of assumed not. If that is the case, the SFA could obviously do worse than consider him.

Has not stayed long in any of his roles since leaving the Italy job, but had four years in charge of Italy getting them to the final of the Euros, as well as some other notable successes (and failures).

Think he was mentioned for the Scotland job before Christmas. Seems to have a decent command of English too.

Stock is high. Better manager? We'll see over time.

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.

Mate, Strachan has said ludicrous things is post match since he became a manager. Probably because in general, he's a wee dick.

No idea why Scotland would have wanted this guy anyway. His side is painful to watch.

I think Lennon would be a good appointment for the Scotland job. A track record of success in the Scottish game, which he knows inside out, not to mention being able to make teams more than the sum of their parts. Would cause too much of a ruckus, of course, but he'd be ideal.

Let's not just blame the incompetence of the SFA, most fans wanted Strachan gone. Unlike the player threads where we are dealing with unknown quantities much of the time everyone should be fairly knowledgeable on who they think can do a job for their national side. Folk wanted Gordon gone but even the fans baying for blood knew that there was no replacement of any quality or experience to come in.
Strachan had to go. Give Strachan another campaign and another "Lithuania at home" or "Georgia away" was always round the corner. The failure to play players in form whilst playing the likes of Barry Bannan means that failure was always more likely. If we can't offer a better package for an International manager than Northern Ireland then things are seriously wrong.
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.
What, and we wait for the next lower ranked team to get a crucial result against us. To watch players like Bannan and Snodgrass get a game despite not even making the bench for their clubs ? Whilst on form guys are not even in the squad ?

Strachan had to go. Just because the SFA can't organise a knees up in a brewery doesn't change the fact that Strachan should have been sacked after the 2016 EC campaign.

I disagree, you say he had to go. I say they should ask him back. Scotland have done nothing for twenty years, I think they were more on track with Gordon than at any point in that period. Levein, Bertie, the two absconders, Burley? You get back to that stuff, I think they should beg Gordon to come back and continue his ideas of making the Celtic side the nucleus of his operations, if he had been in a position to do that earlier then you have to think, based on latter form, he would have been okay.

Wonder if he likes Bella Italia like Robbie did? Saw him a couple of times in the one opposite the Dons stadium, seemed like a nice bloke.

It's not happening, regardless of whether there is any logic to it. Strachan is better than many perceived candidates, but bringing him back would be an admission they were wrong and they won't do that, and it would just further poison the relationship between the SFA and virtually everyone else.

Strachan was not popular before the last campaign even began because he could not secure third and a play off place for a 24 team Euros.

Granted, this was largely among mouth breathers in the Tartan Army that can't name any more than 20 players, egged on by the worst type of agenda-ridden Scottish hacks.

The mid-section of his time in charge basically ended Scotland's chances in two qualifying campaigns. That can't go unrecognised. A period characterised by a lack of ideas, comical defending and a lack of intensity. All the while, known failure Mark McGhee was his closest confidante, a guy so washed up that he's been binned now from virtually an entire division of football clubs UK wide.

It still seems amazing to me that the team that played Ireland at Celtic Park in November 2014 were managed by the same person as the Scotland Lithuania game less than two years later.

Where do I start ?

I would argue that Smith and Mcleish were far better Scotland managers. Yes he was better than Burley and Levein - but that says more about them than it does about Strachan. As for Berti he did at least manage a play off place. They made it so much easier to qualify for Euro 2016 and Strachan couldn't manage even to finish in the top 3.

You say making Celtic the nucleus of his operations - does that include Leigh Griffiths who was deemed not good enough for Lithuania at home or McGregor who was overlooked for the likes of Bannan and Snodgrass and who are struggling to make the first teams of their clubs ?

We were going nowhere fast under Strachan. And its revisionism to suggest otherwise.

A lot of that makes sense but let's see where they end up, as I say they have done nothing for years and at last appeared to be gaining a bit of identity amidst the squalor of rubbish from England in the squad.
