david2363 42 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 We were having a discussion tonight and the amount of Scotsmen managing teams in the English premiership is staggering and totally dispraportionate to the size and population in Scotland. Over the years we have had Bill Shankley, Sir Matt Busby, Daglish, Sir Alex Ferguson, David Moyes, Gordon Strachan, George Graham, Paul Lambert, Alex Mccleish and some that I've probably forgotten. Why when we are so shite at the game ourselves can this be? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

killbilly 17 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) You have to take your hat off to the Scots in this department. I feel a bit sorry for Moyles though, serious pressure filling those giant shoes Edited May 8, 2013 by killbilly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Well being married to a jock I know how much they like barking orders and telling other folk what to do, couple that with a bit of knowledge of the game and I think you have the answer! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why when we are so shite at the game ourselves can this be? Tommy Docherty,the marmite manager.Scottish footballers are renowned for their lack of ability playing the game,they spend most of the match watching from afar,thus they have a better understanding of how the game should be managed.Especially now theres only one team left now competing in the SPL.
