You have to wonder what is coming down the pipeline - wonder if it will involve the law?

A triumverate of Smith, Super Ally and McLeish should be appointed so that we can boo them all at once.

I love it.Let’s blame everyone who had nothing to do with it.

**CorrieHibs** · 09-02-2018 06:39 AM

Looks like Walter has pulled out the running. Thank god for that!!

Yes, dodged a bullet there. Ridiculous though that the SFA should have even considered him, given he turned his back on his country before when in post.

Don't know what's worse, the fact the SFA approached him or the fact he's turned them down

It was his wife that told him not to take it She clearly knows the shambles he would have to sort out

It's a sorry state when I and others couldn't give a monkey's who's Scotland manager.

Maybe they should just appoint a team of coaches for each match on an ad hoc basis.

Spread the blame.

***JimBHibees*** · 09-02-2018 08:57 AM

I honestly would ask Strachan again as he was much better than any of the supposed candidates.

**Ozyhibby** · 09-02-2018 09:09 AM

It’s crazy they are even talking to people just now. They should be getting the new chief exec in first.

Love the double entendre there, Flash

***Diclonius*** · 09-02-2018 09:26 AM

I have a horrible feeling it's going to end up being Mackay.

**~~IGRIGI~~** · 09-02-2018 09:27 AM

Shirley someone foreign with a decent pedigree has applied at some point?

It depresses me we are scrapping the bottom of the jobs for the boys barrel.

You would always worry about McLeish walking out if a really big job came along like Birmingham City. No thanks.

I don't care enough to worry to be honest. Just think at his age he would be more likely to stick with it.

**KWJ** · 09-02-2018 09:43 AM

My worry with McLeish is that he's no longer any good.

If we were talking about throwing 500k at NI to get O'Neil along with our highest ever wage I don't see why we can't throw 700k or so at someone like Jurgen Klinsmann to do the job for 2 years while he's free.

That'll be that then. Time to dig up another hun. John Brown anyone? 😀

**~~IGRIGI~~** · 09-02-2018 11:11 AM

It's embarrassing enough to have had Smith considered but the fact it's him who's ruled himself out and not the SFA is cringetastic.

Strange that there are no quotes from Walter Smith himself - this smells like more BS invented by the MSM. I imagine the informal talks went like this......

Ring ring ring
SFA - "Hey Walter will you manage the national team for a while?"
Walter - **** off
Click

I think this is highly unlikely.

So hun smith doesn't want the job. Good riddance as far as I'm concerned. The SFA moves on after hun sympathiser Regan left a some might say deliberate mess behind him.

Got to congratulate the SFA for getting rid of Regan and they'll carry out the duty of appointing a new manager with due diligence now they're rid of Dave Cunningham King's mucker.

mon the cabbage!!!

**SirDavidsNapper** · 09-02-2018 02:13 PM

Really don't have much interest in the national team but this is shambolic. No plan B after O'Neil

**~~Tornadoes70~~** · 09-02-2018 02:18 PM

It appears Plan B was to get rid of Hun sympathiser Regan when his number one target O Neill failed to materialise.

Good riddance to him.

The SFA are now having to try to fix the mess left behind by Regan.

mon the cabbage!!!

Equally bad, total lack of ambition

No way Regan created the mess on his own, many fingers in that pie
