Post by: Andy Smith on October 13, 2017, 07:47:46 am
Having just seen the betting for the Scotland managers job I noticed 1 name that wasnt in the frame.

Paul Dickov

Oh how far could they tumble with him in charge😱😱

Probably not much further than they are now, which is where they have always been.
Definite second rate football nation.

At least one of the games for the next Euros will be played in Scotland with it being played all over Europe, just a pity they won't be there - again!

When Big Sam looks to be the best candidate, you know you've got a problem.

Good at organising less gifted players. He would have done a better job with England that Southgate I’m sure.

Not a fan of his personality but there's no doubting his effectiveness. Look at Palace this season, or Bolton/Blackburn/Newcastle after he left them.

In fairness, I'd rather have kept Roy over Sam Allardyce or Southgate.

Oh they did.

Despite his personality and style I can't believe people doubt Allardyce ability.

Yes. I'm not saying RH shouldn't have been replaced but I am saying that I don't rate either of the two subsequent England managers to be any better than him.

Either way, the issues with the national team run much deeper than the senior team's management.
