I am not saying that at all. The Jardine comment was just showing that a very in your face outfit like the English cricket team, can take a captain, ( in those days (1932)
also the boss) from Scotland, then why is it that Scots would sooner fail than accept the best person for the job.
Parish pump mentality will get Scotland nowhere whether in sport or anything else.
Will Carling once said that rugby union was run by a bunch of old thwarts, Len Shackleton in his book " Clown Prince of Soccer ", said something similar about the SFA, who he called " Sweet Fanny Adams", That book was written over 50 years ago.
How many x professional footballers are in positions of power in the SFA?
Somebody needs to get a grip, of Scotish football, All the names I have seen as potential Scotland managers seem tro be very poor choices,
Strachen seems to be the main choice and I feel , although better that levine, nothing will change.
I myself if in charge of the SFA would go down om my bended knees to get Harry Rednap, even on a short term contract, Failing that I would go for Owen Coyle if we have to wear blue filters on our specs.
If you wat to read about Jardine get the book title " Again Came Larwood", the best of all reads.
