I just wondered if the Scotland job really is a full-time one. I mean, most of the time you just seem to have, maybe, 6 or 7 games a year, with 1 or 2 of these training camps. Levein seems quite an ambitious guy, but is this really a move up the way? I mean when you think about it, that old fuddy duddy Craig Broon was able to do it for years, so...anyway, what do they do for the 40 odd weeks that there is nothing happening on the Scotland front?

its an intresting thought my freind.I think most of the 40odd weeks you speak of is watching scottish players play for there clubs, getting feedback/information on them(im sure he cant watch all the scottish players in all the games at the same time)
im sure i read/heard somewhere that levein is very intrested in what happens in like the grassroots level, e,g from younger players through to the under 21's so i guess alot of work needs to be worked on there, what levein does there/can do there im sure will take up some time

I don't see why the manager couldn't do club and country and have a full time assistant doing the leg work, if it meant a higher quality manager could be got.

Don't forget, Sven found time as England manager wore so heavy on his hands that he ended up........well, I'm sure I don't need to elaborate!

Agree totally !
If we are going to aspire to "playing against the big boys " we have to be 100% professional management wise.
Finding the players to help attain that is another matter - OF "bit players" , i.e. Broadfoot , Fox etc , are not the answer.
