I thought you may say that, just double-checking.
As so often happens when people calling for new managers/players, they don't say who can come in and do the job. So, who should replace him?

The last time we had folk like Arena and Lagerback apply,either of those I would take but with the utter clowns that are in charge of the game up here we will end up appointing someone like Jeffries,Williamson or Calderwood!!
What is happening really should not be a surprise to anyone,Avril is doing a job that his pitiful C.V. suggested he would do.

2 questions:- Would you have an Englishman, especially if he had all the credentials you would want in a Scotland manager, expect being Scottish, of course.
Would appointing an Irish manager be more or less controversial than appointing an Englishman. I don't want to turn this into a sectarian thing, but would be interested to know what the general feeling would be. Honest.
What about Gary McAllister, Strachan, Alan Hansen, Terry Butcher, Mick Mcarthy off the top of my head - or out of my hat.

Scotland, Wales and NI will probably never qualify for anything again. Very poor teams. And England won't get beyond a QF either.
Time for a GB team. A harmonising force that has a better chance collectively.
It won't happen of course as the level of intelligence and capability to see the big picture at every level of football from fan to player to boardroom is generally lower than average. Shame but it's true.

I would take dodgy 'Arry if it meant I could watch my country winning or at least competing. Butcher??At least suggest someone who has a decent record please.
As for a Paddy,again I certainly would not have a problem as long as he's a correct choice and I cannot think of one Irishman I would want to take charge that is going to inspire me or the nation.Pretty much the same can be said for an Englishman...who is there bar twitchy that would be a decent appointment and have better credentials than many foreign or Scottish men?

Fishing slightly but a GB football team would certainly get my vote.

As I said, out the top of my head/hat. I was thinking someone with experience of playing for scotland or managing in Scotland, don't know how he is doing now, but I thought he was doing ok, up to a few years ago.
John Toshack, or any other brits (and irish) you would fancy?

SFA should look to Davie Moyes, he is used to putting together competitive teams with limited resources and gets the best out of players. He's done what he can with Everton and needs a new challenge. I think all players would respect him and want to play for him unlike Levein who does I have to admit seem rather negative and uninspiring to both fans and players.
The business with Fletcher annoys me more than anything else, Levein is paid to get results by fielding the best team available yet fails to do that for some personal dislike which goes against the national interest. Get him out now before another qualifying campaign is over before its started.

Oh come on, Fletcher wanted to pick and choose which games he played in.

SFA couldn't come close to matching Moyes wages at Everton. Also in my opinion Moyes is a stick on to succeed Sir Fergie. Moyes would just laugh at the SFA.

And Fletcher has also recently said he regrets it and apologised and was man enough to offer to sit down with Levein but Leveins refused and just said the door was closed to Fletcher and thats it. Arrogant clown of a man

Avril is to stubborn to back down, he's too scared to losegames and it's costing us dear. On Saturday he waited 80mins before changing asystem that was clearly failing, everyone except him could see it.
Some of his selections had me scratching my head, Hutton forexample was p*ss poor, is he honestly the best option we have at rightback? if so we are doomed.

Scotland manager is a pretty thankless task at the moment since our players are distinctly average at best; most managers would struggle.
However, Levein should have been marched out the door the minute he handed in a team sheet with a 4-6-0 formation - just ludicrous.
Frustrating that there are so many quality Scottish managers out there that would not consider taking the job if it were offered. I do wonder if Strachan would be interested - we could certainly do worse. He's still out of the game isn't he?
Not going to happen in the short term though. CL is there at least until we fail to qualify.

Now that's one way of brightening up a rather dull Monday.
Davies or Strachan, Levein gtf.
