The choice of players is relatively small and the quality finite. There simply isn't enough money in Scottish league football to breed international players of the required standard. We are international minnows, make no mistake. But that's the reason we have to have a manager with ambition, tacyical nouse and the interpersonal skills to inspire his players and get the very best from them. WE may be short on good players but there is no shortage of good Scottish managers....Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191662363898215747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-9087292441377930582012-09-12T22:25:12.490+01:002012-09-12T22:25:12.490+01:00we were at Wembley!we were at Wembley!petenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-88106740887352694202012-09-12T07:35:46.244+01:002012-09-12T07:35:46.244+01:00N22 - LMA Manager of the Year Award in 2010?

He was a complete flop at Leicester, and walked out on Raith Rovers (the team he supports) when a better offer emerged at Dundee United. I didn't say he was useless, just that he was mediocre!<br /><br />England will waltz qualification. Not a bad point away in Ukraine IMHO.

Trouble is knowing the games to come it may now be curtains for both. What would you do to change the Scottish fortunes Dave?<br /><br />On paper at least if I include Fletcher (both Fletchers) then it is the best for some while. Outside of the excellent string of top/2nd flight managers (as they would never take the chalice) who would you appoint?<br /><br />As an aside, I wonder how long the Welsh FA will wait until they sack Coleman?ChicagoAddickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615350734560005129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-19041202934923800452012-09-11T22:43:51.277+01:002012-09-11T22:43:51.277+01:00Bit harsh on his club management record, he did wi...Bit harsh on his club management record, he did win the LMA Manager of the Year Award in 2010!<br /><br />I was excited when we went 1-0 down to see the type of reaction we could expect in the World Cup and overall it was VERY disappointing.<br /><br />The worst part was when he bought Bertrand on for Baines! We had Lallana on the bench who is a goal scoring winger. Unproven at International level...yes, but give the lad some experience.N22 Addickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01248920068441823598noreply@blogger.com
