He's done a hell of a job with his current club, would be a strange move for him at this stage of his career though.

I don't think there's any outstanding Scottish candidate so someone like him with an experienced Scotsman like Joe Jordan may well be the way to go.

**thekaratekid** · 08-12-2009 06:00 PM

would he try for Steve Clarke as his number 2 ?

Where did you see this about mate? Be surprised if the SFA showed ambition and went for someone like him tbh!

I agree. It would be an odd move but maybe he's seen what happened with McLeish and sees the Scotland job as a gateway to the Premiership.

I'd quite like to see JC in as part of any new set up.

It was on the BBC news, not just a 'bbc understands' but they actually gave a quote that he wanted a scottish assistant if he gets the job.

Suppose as much as we don't like it, if we want a top manager, using it as a gateway to the Premiership might be the best way to sell the job.

My main concern with appointing a good young foreign manager is that all it'd do is paper over the cracks for a year or two.

Not for me. Berti Vogts has put me right off having a foreign coach in charge of Scotland especially one with little experience. Granted he has done well with his current club but I would prefer someone to come in who knows the players and can get our Euro 2012 campaign off to a good start.

"John Hughes has said he already has his dream job at Hibs"

**dirtydirk** · 08-12-2009 06:13 PM

Steve clark is the highest paid assistant in the premier league so that wont be happening. Would think maybe ricky sbragia for number 2

**steakbake** · 08-12-2009 06:15 PM

I would be delighted if Petrescu got the Scotland gig.

The parallels with Berti Vogts are totally pointless. Why should a foreign coach be totally out because of Vogts? Is no-one put off a Scottish coach because of Burley?

I don't know if Petrescu's the best bet we have but I agree with the Berti Vogts nonsense that gets spouted.

**joe breezy** · 08-12-2009 06:27 PM

I heard the assistant is John Collins...from a Celtic fan at work

**Andy74** · 08-12-2009 08:04 PM

Dunno about this. From listening to the radio at the weekend his agent seems to have some friends at the bbc and they have been flogging his candidacy. I doubt this is much more than the agent keeping the name at the forefront through the BBC.

The lunatics have definitely taken over the asylum.

You don't fancy him getting the job then?

***blackpoolhibs*** · 08-12-2009 08:12 PM

Is there anyone called ryeski avenue touting him for the post on the tartan army message boards?

**lyonhibs** · 08-12-2009 08:16 PM

Dan Petrescu for the Scotland job - I'd take that in a New York minute

Decidely better option than just picking someone Scottish so they'll know the words to Flower of Scotland.

And most importantly as "Dan Petrescu" does NOT equal "Graeme Souness", this potential appointment has my full backing

GGTTH

**Andy74** · 08-12-2009 08:16 PM

Naw just chick young. One minute petrescu was saying he wouldn't apply for it the next his agent has sent it in and chick young is giving it large. All agent work this.

Is the "i won't be applying for it" not the standard line for an international job when someones being linked to it despite already being in a job though? Doesn't mean he doesn't want it, just means he doesn't want to piss off or be disrepectfull to his current employers by whoring himself around.

BBC carried the story that he said he wanted a Scottish assistant if he gets the job, wouldn't have thought his agent would have just made that up would he

Yeah I think he is interested but I think the profile is being given to this by his agent pushing it through the BBC not through him or the sfa.

**jdships** · 08-12-2009 08:34 PM

In the absence of a single credible Scottish candidate why not Petrescu ?
SRU turned to Robinson , from England, as their coach and he has certainly made a good impression early doors !

Aye, that makes sense.

Thought it sounded a bit left field for the SFA

**IWasThere2016** · 08-12-2009 08:37 PM

I'm wi Andy - total kack of a story IMHO

That'll be that then

***hibbie02*** · 09-12-2009 12:12 PM

Errrr Auld Pet Rescue has just had the Bum's Rush from the SFA. Apparently the "Blazers" have taken the cream puff about the news of the meeting getting out.
