SFA board to approach Walter Smith

[BegbieHSC]

Seen in a few papers that he's up for it too.

He's been retired for 7 years. What a terribly backwards thinking appointment.

SFA is a shambles.

As CEO or manager? According to Chick Dung yesterday on Sportsound his wife winnae allow him to unretire.

Friend sent me this when he was touted to replaced Pedro, applies to this as well though.

Hope she digs her heels in makes sure he stays retired, that would be a real gift to her hubby and even more for Scottish national football.

Walter Smith eh! Maybe someone should start a thread about it.

If this is true, it’s a good indication of how much change Petrie and Co have in mind at the SFA.

Let’s just go the whole hog and appoint Jock Stein’s coffin !!

[AgentDaleCooper]

My main hope is that this puts LD off going for their CEO post. If so, then great appointment rodders

[Oscar T Grouch]

Shirley they should appoint a CEO before they appoint a manager, both have to work closely together and you'd assume the CEO would have the final say on the managers post?

[Velma Dinkley]

Why bother with a CEO? Apparently the vice president is in charge anyway?

100%, why would you want to be CEO knowing one of the most important decisions is being g made before you get a chance to have a say in the matter.

[Curried]

More fake news and deflection from Jabba.....Probably still trying to cover up the porkies sold about the Morellos bid.
Anyhoo, for a wee bit of context, it's nice to look at Wally's comment's about bailing from the Scotland job in 2008:

Maybe its just me, but if he is appointed, i hope he does well, and we qualify for the next tournament.

I'm a Scotland fan and want us to win, it's like Hibs appointing a manager you don't want, and hoping we lose.

****in mad.

It's funny how those who say they dont give a toss about Scotland, seem to get their frillies in a twist whenever a new man is linked?

Alarmingly told RP and McRae defended and wanted Regan to stay

I'd hope that in itself shows why Leeanne should avoid like the plague, though it also shows why they need her.

Why would the SFA still be interested in LD this week? The game against the Thes was on Saturday.

Valid point, plus we had the audacity to win so automatically puts a black mark against her name.

Exactly it's a while till we play either of the uglies again so those rumours about LD and Lennon go back into cold storage

Yestwrday the papers were saying Petrie wanted McLeish. It's like we've went back 12 years

Lets wait and see the details. If the cardigan is working with a younger coach like Scott Gemmil then it may be something that could work.
Experienced man nurturing the younger coach to eventually take on the job.

The ***** retired leave the bitter b****** where he is

He has been the most successful manager in their history so I'm not sure what the argument is.....

and?

McCoist was a rookie and remained one when he walked into a firestorm at Ibrox.

Scott Gemmill has ran the U16s, U19s and U21s at National level. He knows the ins and outs of the SFA. More importantly he is the go to guy when SPFL managers want information on a young Scottish player as he knows most of them at elite level.

And it's a ***** idea.managers should be there on merit after proving themselves at the highest level. Not rookie youth team managers.
