Any ideas for the new manager?

I'd take Craig Levein if he'd go.

Billy Davies anyone?

It seems a shame he's gone to Brum (who I think will be relegated this season anyway), but he's the latest in a long line of managers who've chosen career managing a club over a country, so no point blaming Eck in that. Footballs changed, for the worse unfortunatly. Managaers prefer the constant managing of the club to the occasional work of an International Coach. Maybe the FAs need to take this into account?

I think McLeish got a lot more out of his Scotland experience than Scotland got out of McLeish. Yeah, we got a good result against France, but we were found wanting against Georgia. It is a long road back for Scotland after the Vogts fiasco and we have only just embarked on it. We should be gracing football tourneys like Euro 2008 and World Cup 2010, but McLeish bailed after only 10 months.

If we go down the Billy Davies route, it will only be the same. A couple of decent results and he will be off to some lower table English Premier team as they can offer 4 times what he gets at Scotland. Not very great ambition, I would say.

Roy Aitken is not getting it as he has gone with McLeish.

What we should do is offer it to Alex Ferguson on a part-time basis and when he finally hangs up his chewing gum at Old Trafford, he can take on the role on a full-time basis if it needs that commitment.

Totally agree RH. At least the SFA don't look like they're going to rush into anything. But I think we should go for a more mature manager. I'm sure Davies would do a good job, but it could be damaging when he leaves.

so you think that macallister is a bad move since he'll probably use it as a steppig stone too?

I like Gary McAllister. Have done since he was with Leeds. Seems like a genuine guy. He's said he doesn't want it now though.

I think becase of the nature of football that International Managment, expecially for a smaller footballing country thatn the likes of Scotland and Wales it's inevitable that the time will come if a manager is a success that they move to a huge league like the Prem. The marketing of leagues like this is too much for FAs to cope with. It's the same when players retire from international football but keep playing at club level - i.e. Carragher for England.

I don't see how McAllister could be offered the job. What real management experience does he have? If it was my club, I would say sure, take the risk, as I think he could well become a good manager one day. But with WC qualifying, we don't have the luxury of taking on an untested rookie. We need someone with experience.

We need someone with recent experience at the highest level as well, ruling Souness and Dalglish out.

Ideally I'd go for Davie Moyes, but that I'm living in dreamland...

Grahame Souness won 1 thing - the FA Cup in 1992, and even then he was barely there. It's widely beein accepted that the real person who won that for Liverpool was Ronnie Moran not Souey. Souey had a heart attack in the Quarter Final.
