    Aw right you are doubling down to look like you were “joking” about Pressley.

    You absolutely * it.

    Norway couldn't qualify for the Euros with a far better squad than Scotland - in fact, Scotland turned them over in Norway!! That's when I realized how skillful Clarke is, and I'm an outsider to Scottish football. If a manager can overcome the gulf in player class and get a win, that has to count for something.

    And it's harder to be successful in international football, because the pool of players is set in stone, sort of. As a club manager, you can ask the squad to be improved via transfers. No such option when you've got to work with a fairly small country that has objective limitations on the kind of players and football it can provide.

    Clarke is a good manager if he came in like O'Neill did to stabilise for a half season. Not so sure long run

    All this talk about Clarke and Carsley has got me laughing. :giggle1:

    They are not on the shortlist, which I have reason to believe, has been whittled down to two now.

    Gordon Strachan has claimed that the manager Celtic are after won't be available until December.


    Strachan, whose son Gavin remains at Parkhead despite a recent host of exits, did a live event at Blackfriars pub in Glasgow‘s Merchant City on Tuesday evening alongside Tam Cowan.

    And today on BBC's Off The Ball, Cowan lifted the lid on Strachan's insight. "It’s Gordon Strachan, who’s a great draw," he said. "This was on the Tuesday night.

    "Gordon is a bit of a Celtic legend, knows all the main characters in this story on the board.

    "He’s been the former Celtic manager, and his son Gavin has apparently survived the nuclear bomb that went off.


    So Gordon is clearly in the know; he’s one of the most outspoken people in football that I know, particularly at a ‘private event’.

    "Even then, he was ever so slightly cagey.

    "But he won’t mind me sharing this because he did with the audience... according to Gordon Strachan, the guy Celtic are after, they won’t be able to get him until December.

    "Now joining the dots with that the closest that we all came to was Craig Bellamy, an international manager just now, in terms of when the qualifiers finish, although there could be playoffs after that."

    Kjetil Knutsen, who has also been linked with the Parkhead vacancy, won't be available until the end of the year, either, due to the way the Norwegian season runs.

    Similarly, Wilfried Nancy, another name that has emerged in recent days, is in charge of Columbus Crew, who look set to compete in the upcoming MLS playoffs.
