It's been so long since we had a decent manager I'd totally forgotten the stress of waiting for him to be offered a better job...

who was the last one you had such stress over?

Billy would be bloody stupid to take the Scotland job. At Forest, he can use this as leverage to get more money in the january sales....

With a job like that, you dont get to choose players, you just pick from a pot....and TBH the pot that scotland has is pretty cr@p.....the only decent players they have are fletcher and Mcfaddon....

How often is this gonna be brought up? I can't see it happening. It most likely won't happen... End of.

i think billy would take it if offered, it's closer to his family, his national country and would be loads more money.

It really doesn't matter who takes the job, the players are not there and not even the finest managers would qualify at the moment with them, plus they have no decent youngsters coming through at all.

But surely, even with the meagre resources at their disposal, they should have enough to beat Wales... :dry:

He won't take it, he can't bemoan the lack of ability to strengthen his squad because, well, his squad would all be Scottish lol

Apart from Kris Commons. Danny Fox, Steven Fletcher, Graham Alexander, James Morrison and any other Englishman with questionable Scottish 'roots' they can convince to play for them...

Are you sure it would be loads more money? The past two Jock managers (Burley apart) left as soon as a club job came up.

Davies would be a fool to take the Jockland job, even if he did well it would only be a route back into club football. If he satyed here and got us to the playoffs, or anywhere near promotion he'd be putting himself in the shop window for the same jobs.

We have to face facts that if our manager does well he'll be considered for jobs higher up the food chain, but I don't consider the Scotland job to be higher up than us.

Didn't Clough keep doing that when he was linked with the England job?

I can`t see Davies taking up the offer should the SFA come calling, he`s finally got himself a job where he can prove his worth, i know taking a job as the manager of your country is a massive incentive and one that is a huge task, but as Souness rightly stated on SKY, Scotland have`nt the players available now to be able to do anything with!

I for one hope that Billy boy will stay here and turn down the job should they offer it to him, personally either Ferguson jnr or Levein will take the job!

The Scotland job is a poisoned chalice, in theory it is a wonderful opportunity.

In reality you have a poor pool of players and apathetic fans, hardly a recipe for success.

Club management is the place to be.

Indeed. The fact that a former Scotland boss walked away from the job to take over at Rangers shows exactly where that job is in the hierarchy of things...

I bet the invention of the deep fried Mars bar and Scotland becoming a joke in international football started about the same time.

Seeing as the consumption of Deep Fried Mars bars is how Kris Commons qualifies for Scotland, I'd say that's a given.

Your biggest fear should be Walter Smith taking over the Scotland job, leaving Billy Davies eyeing up the manager's job at his beloved Rangers.

Hardly likely to go back to the job he walked out on, is he?

I thought I caught a glimpse of Joe Kinnear on Sky Sports News when they were talking about the Scotland job, was it just my imagination?

It was seperate from that I think. Talking about the '1000 club' cause someone - forgot who was being inducted and Kinnear was at the ball saying he wants to get back into management.

No, he did say he would be interested in the job. But he tends to be interested in most jobs where there is a chance of doing badly and walking away with a payoff.

I hope he gets it. Useless fat ****.

he was saying things like "yeah if they came to me, then i would talk to them etc etc "

Like anyone would think "ahh yes Joe Kinnear. what a success that man is, lets talk to him"

the guy will take any job he can take now....pity no one will touch him with a barge pole - I of course would... a barge pole hard in the back right into the trent ! :D

Billy Davies today declined to comment over speculation linking him with the Scotland job.

But the Evening Post understands that Davies has no desire to leave Forest, as he feels he has unfinished business south of the border.

"I have had endless calls about this and I don't want to say anything," he said.


why wouldn't he want to say anything if he wasn't interested. He wants it.

f*** off then Billy, either declare your non-interest or sod off. We don't need your sort round here.

But if he says now that he doesn't want the job because a mid table Championship side pays better, a few years down the line, when he's out on his arse a la Kinnear, the Sweaties FA may refuse to offer him the job because he refused them once before.
