Lennon would be a great appointment but unless there is a complete reform of how the SFA is run he'd waste his entire time with admin battles- never mind building a team. |

I hope NL tells the SFA to gtf. They did nothing when he was abused and attacked. They tried to lie and cover up corruption with officials that directly impacted NL. |

I,d love him to take it, but he needs to go public on the conditions. I.e. cleanse the place from top to bottom, which does of course mean he won’t get the job, but most of the Scottish footballing public would have his back on it. Why exactly is that Turd Regan still in a job. Surely the member clubs can see what we can all see ? |

Most of the Scottish footballing public would take the excact opposite view of whatever Neil Lennon said. I hope he’s offered it, just for the carnage it would create. |

Gary Caldwell is bookies second favorite for the post Lets give it to Jeanette Krankie. For all the difference it would make, she might be cheaper at least. |

Neil Lennon would be great for Scotland, but the SFA wouldn't offer it to him if he said he would do it for free. Not in this lifetime. Out of all the Scottish candidates, Clarke is the obvious choice. You'd like to think the SFA might cast the net a bit wider and approach a manager with a bit of international pedigree, but we know they won't. |

I don't get the Steve Clarke bandwagon, he had 1 good season with West Brom in the Premiership 5 years ago, got sacked halfway through the following season & got punted after a year with Reading. He's started well at Kilmarnock but he's been there what 3 months? I think alot of people want him to get the gig because he was Mourinho assistant more than a decade ago & therefore must be a good manager. Edited by Butters, 28 Jan 2018, 04:48 PM.

Not necessarily manager related but I think this issue with the proposed Scotland tour of Latin America at the end of the season could develop into a stooshie. Interested to see that the players' union have now begun making noises and quite rightly so. These games have absolutely no meaning and the whole idea strikes me as a junket for SFA board members - an excuse to get a foreign trip in. The fact that it is being proposed when there isn't even a national team manager in place tells you all you need to know. Absolutely no thought as to the benefits for the players nor any consideration given to their wellbeing. The Scottish season is far too long as it is and many of these guys will be back in competitive action in mid-July. I hope most of the players tell them to stick it. I'd hope the new manager would as well but I don't think they would be in such a strong position. Action en masse by the players might have the desired effect though. |

Talk about uninspiring. Just shows that they really didn't have a Plan B if O'Neill knocked it back. |

Make a public hash of getting your number one target and then end up with the u21 coach... You can’t say that Sevco aren’t trendsetters. |

Under-21s have won 2 of their last 10 games. If the manager gets a promotion on the back of that then the SFA really have given up. |

That's a very negative slant you've put on it there. What's your alternative to Clarke for the Scotland job? |

"Groundswell" means that is what 2 or 3 people think, in absence of any other plan. |

I think they have promoted players up from a lower age group to try and get them more experience and build longer term which explains some of the poorer results. |

There is less of a persuasive argument for him to get it than there was for Levein 8 years ago. I don't know who I would pick if I was in charge there is no Scottish / British candidates who are standouts, Clarke would probably be high on that list but I would look to go foreign but go absolutely nowhere near Mancini. |

Levein made sense at the time after the job he did at Dundee Utd. He’s proving again at Hearts now what a good SPL manager he is. Levein’s biggest problem at Scotland was his personality, which isn’t suited to being essentially a figurehead in the role as national manager. He couldn’t accept even the most justified of criticisms and had a huge chip on his shoulder after the stick he got for that game in Prague when he played with no strikers. I didn’t know what to make of Clarke as his coaching and managerial career down south is mixed. He’s been an absolute breath of fresh air though at Kilmarnock and you can see he’s an impressive guy. |

Levein was no more than average with Dundee United. Made it to a League cup final (and took the huns to pens I think?) but nothing sensational. Failed in England with Leicester. |
