Trio approached by SFA
According to the BBC today, three of the four previously mentioned coaches in line for the Scotland manager position were officially approached for the first time today. The SFA has apparently asked Celtic, Southampton and Motherwell for official allowance to speak to Tommy Burns, George Burley and Mark McGhee, respectively. Graeme Souness needs no such permission, as he is currently (and hopefully will remain) unemployed. The BBC article also lists Billy Davies as a possible choice, but he is seen as a bit of an outsider at this point by many in Scottish football, as is David Moyes, though for very different reasons.
Nice to see the SFA doing something, rather than just talking about making a decision. To be honest, all three of these men are good managers. I would like to see McGhee stay at Motherwell, and think he is the least likely no matter where the bookies rate him, and if its down to Burley vs. Burns, I don’t think we can lose in managing terms. I rate both of them very highly. Burns, as I’ve said, has an edge in his ties to the Old Firm.
Progress. What the SFA promised about having a manager in January seems almost possible, and that is only good news for the Tartan Army.
