When Strachan goes after Sunday

Who is getting the job?

Not many out there. Does Tommy Wright's face fit?

Malky McKay

[Hiber-nation]

Stubbsy would be nice

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Need to be big and ambitious. We're Scotland FFS hardly a tin pot nation and if we want to reach another major tournament really need to get the right man in cause the players we have (in certain positions) aint bad. Certainly no worse than a ROI or NI.

I'd try for Jurgen Klinsmann or Claudio Ranieri personally

[221000]

Michael O'Neil would be a good appointment but (a) would he take the job? and (b) can the SFA afford him? I reckon the answer to both Qs is no.

[Diclonius]

It doesn't matter. Nothing will change.

[bingo70]

Think Lars Laggerback has retired but if he could be persuaded he'd be a good appointment.

Could actually take some inspiration from the rugby team who seemed to have had some success appointing a relatively unknown foreigner.

Stuart Baxter 😁😁

Vern Cotter was a massive coup for Scottish Rugby certainly not a relative unknown. Before Scotland he was coach of one of the biggest club sides in Europe and had won rugby the equivalent of the Champions League with them.

Sadly there is no chance of a similar figure taking over the Scottish football team.

[Carheenlea]

Didn't think I would ever get to this stage with our national team, but I honestly couldn't care who gets the job next, and won't give it a minutes thought. Will still watch campaign games down the pub, but honestly not bothered who the next manager will be.

[Smartie]

The current manager really does my head in, but until Scotland discover a couple of centre-halves it really doesn't matter who the Scotland manager is, as we will get nowhere with the glaring deficiencies we currently have in our side.

Could Cathro do it part-time?

[greenpaper55]

Only when the fear factor is taken out of Scottish football by having a bigger league will our own players flourish. Take a look at most teams and they are stuffed with journeymen from every corner of the globe to the detriment of our young players who dare not be played. But hey Doncaster and his crew know what they are doing don't they ? In fact he wanted a ten team league not so long ago so what chance have we got with people like him in charge !

Maybe he wouldn't like two part time jobs

Lagerback has just been appointed norway manager.

I dont understand why he is getting such an easy time of it from the press. They were shockingly bad. With Mulgrew and Berra as his new CH partnership we are going to lose a shed load of goals against anybody decent.

On the manager question the only SFA person i'd look at would be Scott Gemmel. But we must get away from these ancient relics that are taking us deeper and deeper down the ratings.

[sleeping giant]

McLeish will be touting himself no doubt.

Because he's Scottish is the answer to your question.

Scott Gemmill is a funny one, came across very well in interviews around the time he was linked with hibs but I'm surprised nobody has taken a chance on him.

Players are simply not good enough. No manager could qualify for a world cup with that team.

Disagree. You have players playing regularly in the English Premiership/Championship not to mention one in the Bundeslegia aswel. Players also like Griffiths who has been given Champions League exposure with Celtic and scored too.

I don't buy into the not enough quality at all. It's a total keek argument. Now, the correct players/formation/motivation, THAT is what needs badly addressed.

[J-C]

Not in the slightest bit interested TBH, it'll be a job for the boys so expect Malky or god forbid Mark McGhee.

We need someone who will pick players on form, playing regularly and give youth a chance, something WGS has failed to do.

[Bristolhibby]

It's total negligence the state of the game today.

To field a team with a winger at Right Back and centre halves who are clearly terrible is criminal.

This is a systemic issue, unfortunately this has to be recognised and addressed at the top of the game.

Bigger leagues would have a massive effect. Clubs have to shoulder this responsibility also. We do need to give up some home OF games to bring this about. It would weaken the OF and at the same time allow teams to play young Scottish talent.

I refuse to believe the likes of Wales and Ireland are naturally better than us.

[Pretty Boy]

Strachan won't be sacked if Scotland lose on Sunday. The SFA made a big deal of publicly backing him and they won't climb down so quickly.

He'll plod on to complete another failure of a campaign. The next campaign will be written of as 'transitional' and so on and so forth.

[Bristolhibby]

As has been said, 2/1 for a Slovenia win.

Fill yer boots chaps.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Lost all interest in international football. Just gets in the way of the real stuff

If Ireland and Wales can do it why can't we? The bare minimum you can have is organisation. At least make us hard to beat to start with - classic counter attacking football.

I'm talking about the world cup. The euros is much easier and we should expect to qualify most years for it now.

Ireland last qualified for a world cup in 2002, so they're not doing much better than us in that regard.

Strachan's been on a job swap with Nicola Sturgeon for the last 12 months, did nobody notice?
