Burley stays; Mediocrity continues

George Burley is staying on as manager of Scotland, ensuring that another year, and possibly another tournament campaign, is wasted. Prove me wrong, George. I was on your side at the beginning, after being impressed with what you did at Hearts, but you made a disbeliever out of me. And out of a lot of Scots.

At roughly one win a year, and after being the first coach in my lifetime to lose in Oslo, plus the disgrace in Macedonia, you don’t deserve your job. We deserve better, or at least to try something new. That’s what you do when something isn’t working, and this clearly isn’t.
