Super Scotland Manager Levein speaks

**~~TheReg!~~** · 23-08-2018 02:57 PM

😂 What a complete roaster

**Heckys Wheel** · 23-08-2018 03:00 PM

He was picked for the last squad and dropped out himself???

**Famous Fiver** · 23-08-2018 03:05 PM

Souttar couldn't lace Hanlon's boots.

**Stantons Angel** · 23-08-2018 03:20 PM

he really is an eejit!

he says the money from the sale of Laugherty to rangers will be invested in the team. Yet the boss says its going towards finishing thon new stand?

What gets me though is he really believes that people listen to him!

He is so full of himself

**SirDavidsNapper** · 23-08-2018 03:25 PM

It's hard to watch such an uncharismatic welt like Potter try and be funny

***Dr What If?*** · 23-08-2018 03:50 PM

So why would Levein come out and say this? I can think of three reasons....

1. Can't stand being out of the headlines for more than 5 minutes. There is a track record with Levein and saying stuff just to get a reaction, he needs to be noticed. I'm sure there is a clinical name for this kind of behaviour but I don't care enough to Google it

2. Increase transfer value. There has been some talk of money issues at Hearts, not really convinced they are in any trouble but I am certain Dr Budge has been spending a fair bit of her own money to kickstart the playing side. That, together with the stand and the pitch, has probably left her with a much bigger hit that she was hoping for. Levein might have to start thinking about life without owner handouts.
3. Levein has genuinely heard Soutar say something. Soutar right now is not a better player than Hanlon but age makes him a better prospect, he is a young player who is a central part of (sorry hate myself) a very good defense. He is also better than Hendry, a lot better. Hendry plays for Celtic though and will probably be picked first because of that. If Soutar is thinking that too, he may see his international chances better served elsewhere.

Honestly, I think it could be all three. Yes, Levein is so self obsessed he probably screams his own name when he is having a **** but it doesn't discount the need to up the lads value nor highlight that he may have other international options.

"I'm not in any way, shape or form trying to tell anyone who to pick for the Scotland squad. I had enough people trying to tell me when I was the Scotland manager.

Good to see he's moved on from getting sacked

What a thin skinned prick he is.

I keep reading and hearing this on here so what's he doing wrong that he's not being called up to the squad.

**Callyballybe** · 23-08-2018 04:06 PM

Didn't think he could get anymore irritating, but fair play to him, he's proven me wrong.

**~~IGRIGI~~** · 23-08-2018 04:08 PM

What gets me is he has the audacity to give it the big man act after being completely and utterly humiliated in the Scotland job.

**BH Hibs** · 23-08-2018 04:15 PM

What a complete and utter cockwomble.

**Centre Hawf** · 23-08-2018 04:23 PM

I don't really mind this at all. Some folk were saying Boyle should play for Australia too, I think Leigh Griffiths even had rumours of declaring for Wales when on loan at us. It's just the usual stuff that comes with selection politics.

***Col2*** · 23-08-2018 04:26 PM

While Rodgers, Gerard, Lennon, Clarke and even McInnes have been winners at top level of football....Craig Levein remains without one single winners medal as a player or manager.

And he looks like Rolf Harris and even more odd than him.

***Hibs4185*** · 23-08-2018 04:36 PM

I think Levein must be the most hated man in Scottish football. Absolute welt

***Carheenlea*** · 23-08-2018 04:37 PM

Just painful.

**Time For Heroes** · 23-08-2018 11:00 PM

He's an arse, years ago I dated a school teacher who taught one of his kids and he would sign there homework because he "didnt do autographs" whats that about?

He maybe should have listened to them

***Lancs Harp*** · 23-08-2018 11:28 PM

Have to admit here in England we thought he was a great Scotland boss

LeVain is also a very astute man as well as a master tactician

"It's not my call though. I just know he's got an Australian granny, that's all.

Hope u were older than 15 at the time

**Pretty Boy** · 24-08-2018 09:43 AM

What a bellend. It's not so much the content of what he is saying but the way it's worded. It's like when the painfully unfunny guy in an office drags a joke out for 10 minutes and completely misses the mark.

***JimBHibees*** · 24-08-2018 09:54 AM

If I was McLeish and was possibly considering putting him in I definitely would not because of that.

Souttar is IMO no where near international level however to be fair it is an area of the pitch we are well short in.

**B.H.F.C** · 24-08-2018 10:08 AM

He used to just be a miserable, torn faced prick. The way he is now, in terms of trying to be smart and winding folk up, just makes him look silly. Someone who never has, and never will win anything, acting like that? Clown.

**horseflesh** · 24-08-2018 03:33 PM

Hopefully this alerts the Aussie fa and they persuade him to play. Get the laddie flying all over the world this winter playing in the Asian cup

When is this getting played? We could potentially lose 2 players, in milligan and McLaren

Potentially Boyle as well.

FWIW i think Souttar is a good player and can't be far off a call up. Levein will be desperate for him to be capped so it will increase his price tag.

Levein is still a dick.
