vanderark14 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Mark McGheeTommy Burns Graeme SounessGeorge Burley Mark McGhee - leg-end as a player (obviously) hasnt done enough in management for me though. half a good season with Motherwell doesnt make you that great. Tommy Burns - the worst of the 4. why is being considered is beyond me. Graeme Souness - vast experiance as both player and manager but i hate the nut. George Burley - did well with Ipswich. probably my pick Link to comment

paulkaneatemyhamster Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Souness - the best of a bad bunch. Link to comment
TBR1903 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 gotta be big mark in my opinion, second choice would be tommy twists, tommy turns, tommy burns - only cos he has been part of the succesful previous set up.if souness gets the job i will struggle to support scotland Link to comment

vanderark14 Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 Souness - the best of a bad bunch. this is painful but ......... i agree. Link to comment
K-9 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Souness done nothing but buy success as a manager. Bit like ourselves at AFC when there is no money to buy way forward then he has been found wanting. No record at all of taking average players (in scheme of international football) and coaching and using tactics for results. Souness, even taking out his connections to the dark side, is bottom of my list below even Burns!! Link to comment

sheepshagger89 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 how anyone can seriously consider Souness for a managerial position, let alone on the international stage is beyond me. did well at huns and then its all gone downhill from there. dreadful at liverpool, did ok in turkey, southhampton?? ( :thumbs: ) what happened there? benfica!! bollocks up another club there! below average at blackburn, and sh*te at newcastle. so too sum up, he has done nothing to very little ever since he left rangers twenty odd years ago. an absolute joke of a manager and a joke of a man.

At The Border Guy Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 The two of those I'd want in the job are the two least likely to take it. :thumbs: Link to comment
Dandyjam Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Mark McGhee - Think he could do a job but perhaps a bit too soon for him. Tommy Burns - Scotland job is too big for him in my opinion. Would be out of his depth and already in charge of team for a hammering by Sweden. Graeme Souness - No thanks. Nothing to do with him being a hun but he's not proved himself anywhere except at Iprix where he bought success. George Burley - Would be my pick of the four. Managed a club in top half of Premiership and led Ipswich into Europe (although brief) Been mainly successful wherever he's been. Link to comment
uni_don Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 McGhee doesn't have the top-level experience required. I have a gut feeling Burns would be a disaster a la McClaren - appointing previous assistants does not usually work. Out of the four it would have to be one of Souness or Burley for me as they have the aforementioned top-level experience. I'd probably go for Burley. Quite why Burns makes the shortlist and Billy Davies hasn't though is beyond me. I think he would be a much better candidate. Link to comment

uni_don Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 top level experience as in frigging up every club managed since the 70s/80s or managing mostly in the championship?They've both managed in the EPL and in European football. Link to comment
MG_Don Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I hope George Burley gets the job. Can't stand Souness and would lose all interest in any team he's managing, Tommy Burns would be a disaster. Mark McGhee may be needed at Pittodrie so I'd rather he stayed at Well for now. Link to comment
vanderark14 Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 watching the news last night they seemed to think Burns was frontrunner. this is insane. he was part of one of the darkest periods ever for Scotland. why would they go for this?? if he is appointed there wont be many happy fans. Link to comment
sheepshagger89 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 They've both managed in the EPL and in European football. i assume, with regards to Burley that you are referring to two seasons in the EPL (one in which he got Ipswich relegated) and one season in the uefa cup? hardly top level experience. and you just have to look at souness's record to see that he is a very very average manager and not good enough.

At The Border Guy Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Don't like Burns at all. He spent the entire Vogts era either moaning about the players being sh*t, or moaning about the fans moaning about the players being sh*t. My SSC membership renewal now relies on him or Souness not being made coach. Link to comment
Rico Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Souness has won quite a few trophies not only at Ibrox but at other clubs hes managed aswell. Burns clearly is not the man for the job, least experienced out of the four and would not be my pick. Burley for me now that I think about it.(but only because I'd want mcghee for the dons aswell. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Not really up for any of them but order of preference would be 1. McGhee 2. Burley 3. Souness 4. Burns My choice would be /would have been Billy Davies as manager with team of Craig Brown and Gary Macalister Link to comment
robbo Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 who the hell made up this shortlist???? its like ive been given a choice between chopping off your w.anking hand, or cutting off your d*ck. Link to comment
uni_don Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 i assume, with regards to Burley that you are referring to two seasons in the EPL (one in which he got Ipswich relegated) and one season in the uefa cup? hardly top level experience. and you just have to look at souness's record to see that he is a very very average manager and not good enough.I'm not a fan of Souness, but he has won trophies at least. As for Burley, yes Ipswich got relegated, but he managed to get a team that really weren't that good into Europe. No mean feat. Souness and Burley might not have been great at the top level, but at least they have experience of it. McGhee is entirely untried at that level, and Burns is just gash anyway. That said, my pick would have been Billy Davies. Link to comment
vanderark14 Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 i'm usually one to get behind my teams no matter who is playing for them that day or who is in charge, i didnt even mind when watty took over but if Burns is the choice i will struggle to get behind him. Link to comment
woods stays nicholas score Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 burnley for me i should have waited till the new manager was announced till i paid my 40 quid SSC renewal. Link to comment

Tord31 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 according to latest reports: No one has been interviewed yetThe shortlist is Davies, Burns, McGhee, Souness and BurleyAn appointment will be made this week 3rd point seems to contradict the 1st point. Slow day for news probably. Link to comment
