    Ed no chance. You don't know our media, they are so hostile and impatient and along with the Italian press they are the harshest in Europe. Burley will stay for the 2 World Cup qualifiers and will then go. I was listening to an interview George Burley on Radio Clyde and the journalists asking the questions were so brutal. They knew this was his last chance and he knows. Burley OUT Moyes IN the sun shines bright on the Scotland national team.

    Oh and Norway are a pish team just better than us.

    Greame Sounnes was in contention and was 1st pick before Burley but because the SFA are complete bawbags and hate Sounness for some reason they chose Burley and handed our country over to a clueless diddy

    Who else is out there? Strachan? McGhee? walter smith was your best bet in a long time but he was too tempted by rangers.
    the football he plays could quite possibly kill someone of complete boredom, i nearly died watching that scotland v france game

    Liverpool and Newcastle fans would disagree pretty strongly with that statement.

    to be fair it's not like kenny left him the best squad in the world, is it?

    not that souness is a great manager (there's a reason he's still a pundit) but he's not as bad as a lot of people like to make out. he's just a cunt is all.

    Kenny left him Beardsley, Mcmahon, Staunton, Gillespie, Ablett, Venison, Houghton and burrows.

    He discarded them all and bought the likes of Torben Piechnik, Paul Stewart, Tanner, Istvan Kozma, Clough, Dicks et al

    He did need to move on the old players - but he did not do it at the right times and he did it too quickly. He bought some decent players like Mark Wright who was a quality buy. Walters, Saunders, Thomas and bjornebye were decent additions plus Mcmanaman and Fowler were about to enter the first team.

    Souness big mistake was letting go of the experienced players too early and moving the squad too fast. Selling Beardsley was a big mistake - and to everton too!!!
    Guardiola is quoted as telling Catalan radio: “Liverpool Academy is the only one who can compete at "La Masia". If they can manage those lads, then maybe 20 star players can arrive from that academy.”

    Souness is a clueless prick. The funny thing is when Newcastle appointed him because of the early season poor form under Sir Bobby Souness' Blackburn side were one of only 3 teams below them in the table. He fucked up massively and even Glen Roeder got the same group of players into 7th up from 14th when he left.

    The guy is a joke of a manager.

    It's not just about managerial ability. If it were then Mark McGhee would have got the Scotland job not Burley. Souness commands so much respect from players, opponents and journalists alike. You wouldn't break the rules under him, unlike Burley. He fires people up knows what it's like to play for Scotland at World Cup's .

    Would you argue with Souness ? No I don't think you would. Would Boozegate have happened under Souness ? Never in a gzillion years. Plus Burley didn't have any connections to any Old Firm teams or managers or anything and doesn't present himself well in the media.

    On to the games, Macedonia and Holland at home ( going to both ) and well it's unpredictable. You can never predict a Scotland game under Burley, until he has read the team out. I thought we would have got a point or three against Norway away but when Alexander is playing DM, has Miller upfront on his own and a player who hasn't played for Scotland in 7 years and plus both Caldwells you have no chance.

    McGhee is a good manager although I do wonder if he is the best candidate. I still think Ferguson and Moyes's doors should be banged until they answer and accept the job. Strachan could do OK but just don't have much faith in him.
