Scotland Manager Search Speculation

Scottish Football podcast. Right, welcome to episode one hundred and eighty six of the Big Scottish foootball podcast. I am Stephven Mill. I am back in the studio alongside a man who's catching a private jet to theahamas after the podcast or whatever he's disappearing to is of course Gordon Dale. doing a private jet today probably. You've been on a private jet before U Yes, I have. Have you? What was the occasion? Yes, we when we toured with Rangers in Canada. U and we went from Toronto, I think it was to Hamilton it was just a place. it back to Hamilon? Yeah the Hamton Palace. been in the palace and then I nipped up the road to see my family and m jumped on the private plane. Srathclyde Park was a water planane. Srathclye Park. away way we went. I don't know what the was right? So there was A few years ago I We were looking at flights and it was in America Becauseuse you can get private jets in America, right fairly regular but I can't remember where we were flying And for some reason it was really expensive flying internally. I think it was like New York to Orlando or something like that, right? And I was like just for a we laugh, I'm going to check how much a private jet is from New York to Orlando and see if there's a bit Doz't a year. Right? M. It would probably be about three hundred pound each It wouldn't be that much. No. I'm telling you, I'm telling you. We just over three grand. Yep. It wasn't it wasn't ridiculous it, I wouldn't even care if there was a dozen his. I know. Six. Yeah, I know. I know what I mean, You're ping. If somebody comes and says to me, look, how long's a flight? I mean, obviously I was talking like it would have been the basic private jet that you were getting. It would have been the water plane that you got for Toronto way Hamilton. Yeah, but you know, you can get the off end ones that it would be much more expensive. S you had candy, you would fly private. the see all the gofers. right So so when the opens like here, like I remember like whenever the opens being at St. Andrews, for example. Yeah, they all fly into Lookers RAF base. So when you're driving up or you're getting the train up to St. Andrews You can look over at your lookers and it's just like private jet, private jet, priv private jet. oil them.ight. But do you know the only thing that annys me about that, right And I spired for the environment. No, no, no, apart from it. I couldn't believe Some of these top players like I'll name one of them, Phil Mcson. Yep. Okaykay. right? Sorry, Phil if you're listing a about wasn't? I don't know I give a shot up if he's listening or, right? Okay. I'm calling him out here. Yeah. He made this cardi a normal plane Right? And then that is pretty hard. then If one He won that year He won the Scottish O know how they play the Scottish open prior to the open He won the Scottish open and then he won the open that year. he won the double And he start shop opened this week, is' it no? Yeah, yeah. And he allowed He allowed these cardi to fly back home the private plane. How shut is that? You're a team. a far'm a professional So wait so wait now. when we when we come into ear millions, obviously with this podcast. Yeah when it's scooped up by Spotify or whatever, you know, like it's Austin Joe Rogan When we are flying private jets, you're telling me that prodroucer J is going to be next to us on that private jet. I think you've got a fth point there know J do what. like Producer John's off this week is on his holidays. so he need't know about this. Obviously, he would be flying. He'd be cattle class, like right in the back. Yeah. likeike Producer John he would I actually wonder how John could get through an airport to be perfectly honest with you because he would just be he'd be going through the scanners the wrong way, going in wrong ceues to the wr own gate and he's not the best, is he? Exactly. To be fair, I'm not really I'm not really great at traveling mate. You know. No, I'm terrible traveler. I way you terrible panic. I start panicking. You're in a bit of a panic I you worryough. I panic and I just it gets I get an age when I get to Let's see, airport I'll give a perfect example. I'll not go on a plane unless I book M and sheet an emmericancy I he I can't sit in the middle and I can't s in the window, right? You have to sit in an aisle. I have to sit in an aisle, but I have to book the emergency seat. So'll it doesn't matter much it is. I will always pay extra for extra legroom There's your map, where I'm going ight You don't have a particularly big light. I know but I'm one of the woods shufflers dead uncomfortable. and then what I start doing is I start panicking because I'm claustrophobic So when they they they shut the they're a fascinating man. right You really are. They shut they shut the doors and all of a sudden that' building complete. Yeah, exactly. And then I start going, oh no I'm stuck in here. Yeah, right? Like there's no much you can do at that point. Right? really? But it was like the other day there I panicked coming on suuper scoreboard Me you and Gary Spence, when you have your we five ten minutes off. Yeah, what room do we get? Oh, you're got in the ETV room? Yeah. Right. I couldn't get it? Oh the door's dodgy. Could you get it? Right? No, you know the size of that room? Yeah. Right. And it's even got a window Yeah. Mate ask sta have to package I'm on the phone to joke, Jay, am I telling the truth to you Yeah ind I'm shouting to him, Get thatet door open. Get that door open. And he's going, I can't you get it? can't he get it? Mate, I was ready to smash the police up. I was scared of him to be honest because like we've got a show here going The st attractions is locked.. I am not I am not a good traveller, Mate. I am not a good traveller. So even like going through security and that you get nervous? getting snapped with the dogs? No, I don't mind getting snapped with the dogs or anything You've been sting my w. Then what I start doing is I start thinking Butms of some distillals my belt. You know what mean? Why would this do your belt and you put your watch? So I start hiding things like my watch and my belt and everything because You obviously By the time you somebody could be stun at the other end, can you just take your basket? your belt, your watch would do? Why would they do this? peopleople do that I don't think do they? Yeah I don't think they They' better panic. Have you ever heard any examples of that happen? I remember seeing a guy in the airport before belts on I was like, bastter's been stealing. and then wrapped up like a Rriub roast. yeah. and I sat there and I watched the gates and then terrible Are you one of these people who goes early to the airport I'm early everywhere. I hate being late. I will never you will never see me being late for. So for example, sayR, say we were getting a flight. dayay at five PM time ideally would you be at the airport? Oh I'll be deepends, Is it just London or is it We're going we're going international international flight I'll probably five PM. I'll probably be there too two o easy M be quarter or two. I like it I've always go to Berlely. Yeah and then I start facing. So I went to the World Cup and it was my friends and family that were there, obviously, you saw some of them toless. and my mom and dad were there as well, my momum right, so we my mom lives in Dunfermland And to get to Edinburgh Airport from my mum's house approximately twenty minutes, right? It's literally just across the Queensvury Crossing And you're at the airport, right? doesn't take long at all. And our flight was at What was say quarter to two in the afternoon And my mom wanted to leave ten o'clock in the morning. I think that's excessive. At ten o'clock the morning, ye Right, Okaykay. I can I can get that. And she was like, what's the what are the traffic bu busy? Correct. And I'm like but we know that we can check if the traffic bu buszzy or not. takeake the fash out it Get there what is the difference, right? Because then you're stuck in an airport for about four hours. Right? You think about this. I'm in that You're already travel like we're traveveling to America, right? It's not it's not a skip hopping a jump. It's quite a long journey. Yeah So you're wanting to minimize the amount of time that you're faning about in airports. Surely. See, the way I look at mom's like, No, no, I like getting my breakfast. Yeah. So what's the difference we're sitting in the house waiting for takeake me pass than going to the airport, getting through stretch free Go and have a paying nine pounds for a pint. Now G and have a nice breakfast, going and looking about the shops. You're there relaxed. That's the way I'll put it. I would go I'm right I there wearing mom, I'd go early. I'm early. I think it's an elderly thing Did you Do you know the one airport hased the rest it? incredibly was, do you remember coming back for the Euros from Munich I thought that was the worst airport I've ever ever been. So I've never we didn't fly in Munich. We flew into Frankfurt And And I flew homeh like Switzerland Munich was the and I'm telling you the swat was coming out at me. I'd be and changed my t shirt and everything. No one got of was it? It was just so busy. It was so busy and the lines and the people that were putting you through your passport thking they were honestly just paining the RCs right? They were doing it. They were doing it deliberately. They were really holding everybody up. and you could fear to panic and people were complaining and I started stressing the life out myself. It's the same in cues, evenven in shoping cues. Yeah. I start to I panic a little bit I I'm I'm not if youve ever spoken to a professional about any of this, I think you could be doing we're speaking to somebody about a lot of this to be honest with. Oh I I have no idea to worry are. Yeah, incredible. I'll worry about worrying. rightight? You've got to worry about worry. Yeah. See Ly, I find you See if I would knew I was going my holidays tomorrow at nine o'clock I ain't sleeping tonight I'm not asleeping in case my lou doesn't go for something So I I'm probably having a nap this afternoon, getting a few hours and I'm hiking up my sleep this afternoon. I was like how many people right? Here's a question everybody's asking each other now one will call them to stay up to watch England game. We know one or two, right? So I didn't stay up to watch it, right? but I was watching the Brazil Norway game and then I was like, I'll stay up. and see how I feel at midnight Beuse obviously I you had to come in here relatively early. I was like, I'll see how I feel stayed up to midnight and then the coverage comes on And then they're like, yeep Kck off at one AM. and I was like, you know what? I'll just stick. And then they were like So breaking news, kickoff is at two AM and I was like Absolutely not. I was like, I'm not waiting two hours of hearing Wayne Rooney and Joe Hart and my characters talking filling for two hours, right? So I was like, I'll go to my bed. So I went to my bed. I must have fallen asleep like straight awayay. must have been tired And then I woke up at ten past two. cheheck my phone And obviously it kicked off Ten min of sons, still no no. I was like, right I was like I was like I was like, I can't even be both getting up. I've no got tail in m. She? That's a no, no right away I don't know many You and I could not share a bedroom. No, no. I could never ever be in a house that does not have a TV and the bedroom. In fact Myan next house will have a TV in the bathroom. Right, o. Right. So seeing you're lying in your bath are nothing better than you can watch a TV. Yeah, but you can have like you could have like an iPad or something. Yeah, yeah, but I would like that would be my m. have a tell in the kitchen? Yeah no, I used to have a I used to have a tell in the kitchen, but I'm now in a flat in Wh where my kitchen is Because of my door and everything, I've got a big massive TV in the living room so I can just basically you can see it. Im cooking. I don't like having a tell it in the bedroom because I think it doesn't help me sleep strike comt of me I know but just I just don't like having to tell because then I'm more likely just to stay up and watch that. Right. But do you are you on upstairs Right, So basically you had to watch that England game last night, right? I could have watched on my laptop to be fair becauseuse it was only BBC. I could have watched that the Iight playay. Right bg it up, but you'd had to walk down the stairs. So so what I did was I got to ten passast to or I woke up checked my phone and it was no now I was like can't be bothered went by to sleep and happened to wake up about forty five minutes later and it was half time I thought it was too much in England. And I was like, right Noah, I'm not going to bother and in a leave for two or three minutes and I was like I'm going to get up and it's so end downstairs P it on and I watch that. Well, funny enough, I spoke to my c'n't getting MOT now and the guy kindly broke me down. Everybody's the same. I woke up right on To o'c cllock. right? Tell in the bedroom, remote control, I thought to myself, I'm going to have a weeakander at this because we're now into the second half. All right, you didn't realize that abol. So I've turned it on and I'm looking and I'm thinking, hold on a minute here. We're fucking hardly enter the game has' been ten fifteen thirteen minutes or so I into the game. So I sat and I watched the full first half And I thought it was quite a good game. Right? England scored two quick goals. I mean Mexic right right on half day, Mexico and you're thinking. Well Mexico should have been in level as well. That's a goal that maybe just spurred them on. Yeah. And then I thought to myself, arere we built like you, right? I've get fifteen, twenty minutes here a fucking joe are waying ready. And I'm thinking. and no having that. and I turned it off. or did you? and I woke up this morning and And I'm thinking, I wonder if they've w, I wonder if they've w Bank. Oh my God. I'll tell you what. This could be there here. This could be coming home That could be gonna do you care Do I care? Would you care if England w? I couldn't give a damn I don't care. I don't really foootball doesn't get me like that. You know? I mean, it's the same me club football. like I like my home team mother right. But there's a lot of people that their life depends on it, their weekend depends on it, right. But when I get to my age I'm no goy of fucking Football score affect how my weekend or my time's got to be. Look, it'll be unbearable. a hundred percent' be unbearable if they go to clinch it. I still make France my team to w it because I look at France overall. I' strong. I worry about France in their next game against Morocco if I'm being perfectly honest notot because I think Morocco. I think Morocco are a really good team. Yeah know, donon't get me wrong France are due an off day I think they' more gears. I think they do. I think France are our unbelieved. Like France, every day that week should win this tournament, no b. I think that're the best team and not only the best team What they've got off the bench is incredible However all They're d an offty And I think I don't know, I've just got a be feeling that Morocco might beat them. U and if that happens That's not good. No, because because you're looking at England's pathway. Norway, listen, I remember looking at Norway. They're a big powerful side Norway. And by the way massive I said that last night. I was like Norway are huge. Their keeper is enormous. and then obviously You've got Haand who has a monster. Yeah. And if he plays like he's been playing in this tournament He's going to cause England big problems because I think defensively England are Not great Going forward they're unbelievable. likeike Bellingham was superb last night. Kane obviously is one of the best strikers in the world.ever I think defensively in Pickford, I think ' not great. But I thought they'd done okay last night. They did. Don't get me wr b see the second half. But they I mean, so after the sending off Yeah, they bring on the big Boyys Bring on Dad Burn. they br they bring on Jhn Stones And they sat And it was wave after wave but Mexico were hopeless. Yeah partarticularly the last ten minutes. Mexico were hopeless and I was like, England are going to see this out here. And yeah, there was a few last stitch tackles and scrambles and all the rest of there and Yeah, it was just really disappointing. I thought my school were really disappointing from what I saw. I tied Kune for a top goal scoreing the World Cup, but Mess I think Messi and Bary Hand. Well obviously it depends what happens next year Yeah Howand. Yeah but he's still there taking the pen of kicks as well. But you look at It's one of thosees ones that All the chalk boys have turned up,n't they? center forwards the goals scores really, You know, like say your Messes and Papy, all these guys the vote the vote turned up. They're all banging in goals. They're they' every one where the problem would be is if any of these teams lost one of these keys players? Well, this is interesting because both Bellingham and Cane are sitting on boos. so if they get booked in the game on Saturday and they get through. They'll miss the semifinal, which is a complete game changer for for England. if youre if you're missing can't Bellingamarkane I think they're a bit screwed. But yeah. They've also got big problems at right back as well because your manind got said off last night last night Jed Spener's fit Rese James isn't f. So I don't know who they're going to play it right back. I've been talking putting rice in there, but we' lose something fo middle apart. Rice is another one who's on a booking as well. So like There's he's obviously an important player, but I think I don't know, like I when it gets to this stage of the tournent in England are beginning a, you know. Would it make a difference to your day to day life if England Monie Clinchis woke up Oh it'd be brutal. Yeah. I know it would be hard to live with, but you know what? I See a couple years ago, I'd almost accepted that the we'reon win the Eururos, particularly the one against Italy and Wemby. I'd almost just I'd accepted that the We'reon win it. So I was kind of fine and then obviously when Italy won it was very funny God. I the Wadle cops Duff I can handle the Euros I think I can handle the Eururos because you know, like it's the Euros and yes, it's a big important tournament, but it's the world the world club. The World Cu. I' heard in nineteen sixty six for so long. Yeah. and by the way, like listen, I always you know what annoys me, right I was almost a heatwatch ood morning Britain sometimes, right? I like goodood morning Britain. Apart for Jaffemouth. But do you know what I'm talking about? or that guy. tellell me Ed Jones. No, no. Jade, tellell me his name He's from The North and he's an editor a paper Oh go Kevin Mcuire. Oh mate. by me Mate the by Andy, I'd to katch you the ballock. Tell me I look like Kevin. You look met like Kevin McGuire. No, I don't know I wish how we met like Kevin McGuire. Fucking shut up. you got picture like Kevin MagGuire. Not that chance Kevin Mcaguire. you in Daily Mder. Just ty being Kevin Maguire, Jonalist and you'll comea.. And I think there's similarities between Kevin Maguire. How he there's two people Well, you know it. I know. Oh he just constantly talks Yeah. and you go fucking shut up. It's the only time I hate DMTV when I when he onV. But I I sometimes hate watching it to be honest with you because I find it really irritating, But don't you d absolutely You You know what? likeein McGud. We'll got to fatch it up in just three seconds. but I was watching it last weekek and they were talking about given people the day off today to recover from the game last night, right? Which And this is the thing, like I have no problem with English people supporting England. Like that's a perfectly normal thing to do. But why? What I don't understand is the neediness Oh Like particularly with the English media symbo, why would you not support England? And the simple answer is, I'm not English So why would I support England? Yeah, becausengland England people are likeor Scotland do this. tootally and by the way, I totally get it it's a one way it's a one way rivalry at this stage because England are a much bigger team in Scotland and got much better players inor Eter I totally accept that But at international level Well, Scotland's biggest rivals are England and theyre always will. I hate to tell you that's right. There is Fuck off for Yeah. you know B the way Jan like Itotally No It'stally. There there are similarities between you and the journalist Kevin Mc No, I can't stand Don't get I'm going get you I'm going to get you in GMB. I'll make some phone calls.ll you two can have a head to head debate. not a chance. I'll get back I'll get back to my English. She and I hate to say this 'cause you'll be called a traiter. S when I was gring up I used to love watching England rightight because they So what you know we're talking here? The Kevin Kegin Hill Kevin McGuireres Kevin K Maguires, Yeah o, you're going to get one and the Maguires in a your lip. you know, the guys like Jerry Francis Codos and Brian Robeson and I've only ever been a one ever England Scotland game Weembley and it was midwek Do you remember the one that was two one I think Charlie Nicholas scored for Scotland? Before my time. Was it? Yeah, would it been? Charlie Nicholas was playing? Yeah. That was born in nineteen eighty nine Wh he?? O right before your ten there. And that' only that's only Scotland England game I went to. In fact, I think Brian Robson scored either scored two or he scored the winner, I know that. But I love watching Ray Wilkins and Robsons and Keegins and even the most annoying English manan in the world Shannon And all these guys he was, it was just a big celebration. But I loved watching them for some reason. I thought they'd really, really I don't think that' tradous at all. I think you like as I say, like I think Harry Kaine's an unbelievable football player. like that he's just he's just get better and better goals the two goals they got against DRC like particularly second one was an unbelievable goal, an unbelievable finish Yeah. like so and Bellingham's a great player and I like I like I like watching Hanic in, but I wish them nothing but Absolute misery. I I think we were all hoping because your statement to me Last week was H's what's going to hopm tanging They're going to get through the next round Mexico got it pumped in. You know what? I did say that Yeah then see as the weekend went on And you know what was really sort of it was making me queasy when they kept on going about how good Mexico's record was at that last. And I was like ust stop saying that. J got your jinx in it. O onlyly lost two out eighty seven competitive games and I'm like, stop saying that. please stop speaking about it. You got your handed to them. Listen, they've got've got they'll fail somewhere. I don't think they'll go on and win it. I think they'll be They'll be there or thereabouts because I would probably like to be in that end of the draw. Of course she'd rather than be in the other end You know, with France. You you know it's been interesting as well under Southgate I know in the last World Cup they got beat by France in the quarterfinals came mrter Penalty and all the rest. Ppart for that, England's run to the finals has been our dream likeike an absolute we seem to do that. It's unbelievable. I know that's unbelievable. they always get the as you look at Spain when they won the Euros, they put out Germany, they put out France, they put out I can't remember they put like all the big teams to get there and win it and then they beat England in the final. and obviously You can only play what's in front of you. It's not England's fult that other teams keep fucking it up. But yeah, so listen, obviously, I hope I'm going to get absolutely bit emar' parently kick tellelling the goalkeeper. I thought it was the thing is though D he say the goalkeeper you pick Yeah, I think the go keeperard never even fucking moved. I'm not a huge fan of Nemard, but actually I was ' you seeig No, But the thing is the keybard was having a go at him and Nymard was like, right, you pick, you pick what side, You pick what side. I know And then and then he just he totally done the keeper. And I thought actually that was quite cool. that was quite cool. And then after they went up and he was like I I think he said, who's the man? I love that. I love that because I'm sittingly thinking myself. I know they were go out and stuff. Right. But seeeve the goalkeeper had says to him That's a dear. Yeah. wenty of T it there Probably. Yeah. I mean, like I thought it was quite cool L like I'm not huge name our fan. I did think that' Gvern Mosala the anchor M he nearly made an asser the go here's the one done my D Man right done me and When they made the substitution with the goalkeeper for penalty kicks. He never get near fucking one of them. I know. I know I know he get near I know any of the penalty kicks. doing like him. What was the point of that And see the goalkeeper had actually played. He'd actually done it right I know. He'd done quite well, but they'd obviously decided that before the game. that was obviously I think they' decided before Yeah. Well fucking that did backfire But yeah, so listen, I have been enjoying the World Cup. I'll enjoy it more if Norway win on Surday though And I know I'll probably get hassled from that for that comment, but listen, people are free to support wh whoever they want. If you're Scottish and you want England to win, that's fine by me. People can support whoever they want. I personally. I'd like to to get down the World Cup final. I'd I think their hearts would be more broken Well, yeah, that does that as well, but it's a be bit too close for comfort. we just get them out and then everyone can enjoy the rest of the world. So and I still do think I still think France are yeep. I'm going with France. I think France are unbelievable. So we' see what happens. Right, let's get to some correspondence And sweaty Octivist producer John sat in this seat last week. How was he? He was Brilliant Yeah he was Bant wasony.

That's in Stoke For a club record fee, two million pounds plus add ons. What do you make it that? I think that's a good signing for Stoke because I think was Rangers a club jop you're not looking at? I think so, but he's decided to go to stoke. T. Youve been in Stoke before? Yes, I have. Don't go to stoke. Oh Stok sh. Anyway, Kil Marniick. have signed Swedish winger Eric Ring.

Rangers have completed the signing of former Snderland defensive fielder, Dan New on a free transfer So good they gave him two first names. Yeah. Yeah. They've also signed Hull City goalkeeper Evver Pander for reported six million pounds. That's a lot of candy with Jack Butlland moving the opposite direction. Surprised what that does. I'm surprised that theyll let Butlon go, yeah, but three million quit for a thirty three year old So good business they're bringing in a six million so Take six million, take three million and it's a three million pound deal Where's my music could't you? has an offffee B Belologna remain keen on Connor Bannon And there could be a potential swap deal for Louis Ferguson. I mean, A one sided swap deal. if I' ever heard one? Yeah, that's not going to harm. Ferguson, they'll be cating big money for Ferguson.

I hope all' well And there he goes. there goes Jim White. So well, we won't see him next week because we're no on next week We're taking a two week break. Hi, we should probably tell you that. We're taking a two week break It a tooth thought ofep No, it's two weeks because then the season starts again I'll tell you exactly when our next podcast is is on the twenty seventh of july, which is a few days before the season starts.. We're taking two weeks off. That's our summer break. number we back I'm taking three weeks off Super Scool Asas it Well, technically, yeah, that would be three beats you're takaking off, but ye It's the next twenty seventh, so we're taking two weeks. That guy three weeks off. No, it can't be. What do you mean? Well, this you on Supercop for this week? No, no. So you're done after today Yes. And then you're off next week, which is the week beginning the thirteenth. Yeah, and then you're off the next week week beginning the twentyh tweth and then I start back on the twenty eighth. So is that only two weeks? Oh, no, it's three weeks. three Jay. I' I' been on a day here. Yeah, it' three weeks. It's three weeks, yeah. Yeah. I'm been on a day, sorry, my fault. So anyway we're, we're taking three weeks off. Yeah, and we're back in the twenty seventh. We're back Th three weeks today. We'll be back. Yeah. hopefully Dave Whelon will still be alive by then, because Is he still alive? He's eight nine, like I mentioned that Jimm' just ran past me, but Right Yeahah. He's a good age. Yeah, Dave Wheelon It good is he was done with just a kid elsewhere in Scotch football Andge Posta Coglu won't be the new Scotland manager. As if that was ever going to happen. He's been appointed head coach of Saudi Arabian club Al Nassar And that means he'll be managing Christiano Ronaldo instead. So was there any ever? There was never any prospect to Ange becoming S manager? No, no. And who did you decide upon last week? We didn't. I'm looking at this situation and I have not a clue Who is going to be the Scotland man. you're right? You're never poster Coglu. the only reason look, the only reason he's taking off a job that money there, you know the money in S. I mean, how much is he getting? Right? because you'll been gardening Leaveway forest when it close club So a' beond millions at Fst. That's the only way he's got to take a club job because is moneyies J just going to keep trigging. He's not going to take a four hundred grand a year job in Scotland, does he and lose out on all the money? People are talkking about David Moyys sure his prrenters sh, he'd be on fortunes. I've got a theory, right? I've got a theory. I think Stephen Nysemouith is going to take charge for the games in September. Okay as a sortry interim I think they're banking on Everton having a shight start to the season than Sac and Mooy so they can get moise then. Beause if think it gets pyed by heaven He'd probably take the job. Right. put it this way, if Moyys gets stacked by Evone, he's not getting on their Premier League job. Right. If Moys gets stacked by Evone, there might be a situation where I don't know where Moys's contract situation is. Moys doesn't need the money. See people that say you don't need the money, M, listen, Sve you don't need the money. And somebody tell you, you're going Go to another station, but you're got to take a fifty percent rumamp your wages Ain't good Right? Don't everyverybody says, o doesn't need the money. Of course he doesn't need the money. But if what happens is you know clubs now, especially Premier League clubs, Mys will be on What four five million a year. J. Mbe even more than that, right? So they're not going to pay them out. So what they're going to do is put them in garden leave. and hope he gets takes another job, right? So If he's on that sort of money, he's not going to go Right? Okaykay, I've get maybe two years left in my contract. I'll give up all that money and I'll teach Scotland for four hundred grand win not a chance. Does Scotland underpaay their managers then Maybe that's just what Scotland pay maybe that's all they can afford to. Scotlandly made so much money for that World Cup. Right So much money. So you think they've got to bring a moise in and say that there's two three million , but he'd might be taken for a million. Yeah okay, right? fine. I Scotland going to go from for four hundred to five. It means getting David Moyson. Yeah. How would? Well I just I just there's a lot of hurdles to go over. Oh totally. Dpends on the length of noise is. I'm telling you plus the fact. You' we're basing this on moys' going have a shutter and gets sacked. Exactly. Yeah. That hes So right. So what happens If he doesn't have a shut and gets sacked, Wh Wh do we go in your mind as a Scotland fan, you've get more loyalty to this than me really. Where do you see Scotland? Be I have no idea. N have I? No idea. Nay I? becausecause I don't think John Mclenn's answer. Yeah, Johnclenn is obviously doing a great job at Falkirk. John is not here so I can say that U, but Joh Mclen is not the man be the nextot. like he is a no way man to be the N Scotland manager. Right. Okay. I'm with you there And I think he's obviously a really good coach And I just don't, that's not a fit for me. That's not a fit And by the way, I would say that's good fit I would say that if he wasn't a folker as well, by the way Yeah.' good fit. Wh are you takeaking the p me I don't know. honestly don't. I would I would see who's out there. If putut this way, if Motherwell can find a Yensbert Alasku Th then why can't Scotland? There There's loads of people out there. There's loads of people there Neil Lennon was asked we can whether hed take the job He said, I'm not Scottish. A footballing nation like Scotland would ideally want a Scottish manager in there. Well, I'm sort of half Scottish Do you think you' land him to take the job I think you would consider it I don't think Neil Lenon would be the worst sh what of Jena I don't think Neil Leny would be the wor shout in the world. No, I don't. I think I think he's great I would't want to loseing fedom Fairman. No I think I don't think Neil Lennon would be the worst outout in the world. I think Nil Lennon would know why? I think he'd be a decent international manager because I think he's a good man manager. I think players respect him and like him Right, I really do. I think actually People She people that haven't met Neil Lennon Pro have this opinion about him or don't like him blah, blah blah. Forget the Celtic Cnad and everything, right? Nol Lan is one of the nicest guys I've ever met football. is he's an absolute terrific guy. and I think he handles his players the same way. I think he's faair with them. I think he gets respect. He's got now obviously he's come on. He's an experienced manager Right? He's had a few jobs. He's experienced manager. And And I wouldn't be sitting there going, hold on a minute, Oh he's no Scottish If he's good enough for a job, let him go and take it. I think there's approximately zero percent chance of New Lenin being C settle fish Hn jo No, dont I don't know. I don't think but If Neil Lennon was offered a job and he took the job, I wouldn't be sitting here going that's an absolute disgrace for they said. No, Iree. I. I don't think that's going to happen though. Probably what's going to happen is as I said, Stehen Naysmith will get the interim gig for the games in September to buy themselves. What happ if it does well? government j. could be I like Steven I've done the show. No, he's a nice gu. I've done a show with him. I thought he's good Is he too associated with what went before? because he was involved in the previous regime? No, because when your're assistant manager, you're there to assist You don't make the big decisions. The manager makes the big decisions. You might sit as an assistant manager and think Obviously I'm not a keen lover of that, but you're a manager, we go with you. I'm here at Asist. Finished Stod with Hotts in his first season. Yeah, And they had about an eightight other set season. He honestly, I don't think he'd be a popular discussion, right? I don't think he It's just one of the things. I wouldn't mind him. think a young Cach I think Bty. The other person who's been mentioned in that sort of realm is Daren Fletcher Now Dan Fletcher was inter on charge at M United Eeron last season nextext results Bezman United and He is a current youth coach obviously in Manchester Un. his son Tyler Fletcher was in the squad. didn't get any minutes of the World Cubp His other son ' currently playing to England. I would suspect if Dan Fletcher became Scotland manager, that might change Is he another one that's inc content? S you think he could be a see Wales supportint Creeig Bellamy? Yeah. Yeah and Bellamy has done really well there. just to say I think I think they'll go some left field. I think they say field try something left field I don't L, if Derek McKennis hadn' taken the Angels job, It's ass. I think everybody's gone, right. Derek kind got the experience Scotland and everything like that There's not a candidate out there, I think M a stack on You know what? I mean, the bookies when Posta Cgler and David Moyys. I wouldn't have put Your money on any day too, right? I don't think. Unless what happens Moyys gets sacked or whatever and he decides to take such a massive wage cut because he wants to manage Scoting. C. Be that's the things stranger things have happened. but I can't say that. As much as a bit of surgery is needed done to that squad, clearly It's still an allright job because we're in such a strong position for qualifying for the euros. So in two years time The UK is hosting the UK Iland they' hosting the euros. There are two places guaranteed Right? So That means that, you know, any two from four are definitely going to be there. England will obviously qualify. So that means it's two from three defefinitely qualifying So and to be fair, I would imagine Wales will definitely qualify as well. I think they were They obviously got to the payovers there. So that'll be enough. So I think Scotland are almost certainly going to qualify. for the eos like a really high percentage chance So therefore any new manager coming in knows they're going to be at a major tournament in two years time That's an attractive thing. Yeah, yeah, it's just who we're going to get. It's as simple as that. The only way you're get noise is you're banking on them having a bad start and Eone' signing him Yeah. 'cause he ain't leaving Evone. No I know. I' got. O course he's not. There's one I'm looking at there. I couldn't believe it when I read it. I forgot all about him. Great Bobby Williams Great. I was going to say, did you know Bobby? I know, Bobby. I went up against Bobby when he was a manager at Kanak and He's managed Uganda and Kenya. He lives in Nairobi currently Yeah and he wanted the backroom staff of Ally McCoy, Scott Brown, and Kevin Thompson Seriously, that's what he's wanting. I mean, again, Allie McCoist Alab Sn. No, no, Scotope, but in Kevin Tomes U I don't know where that connection's coming from maybe but he'sing that. He's keeping everybody happy there or Annie, he's keeping soy sheltics. Are you putittting Bobby Robinson in there? When was the last time Bobby actually managed producer Je if you could sort that out Kena in twenty sixteen and the Brown and Thompson is from Hibbs. from course right know I. So wait now,oby Wmston hasn't managed in ten years. So you can't put it this way. it's no going be Boby Orgganson. No L it's not going to be it's not going to be. Look I I forgot all about Bobby it's that long since I've heard of him. I've seen him obviously but ob Oh imagine getting a dut to hand there. So in front fronty new one, Bobby But you're w't dck? Oh Well, I didn't you see it? Listen, I like the Boby. Yeah, but you probably have d. I like the dick as well. Yeah. It'd be interesting to see if Eict would be interested in the job. I think that would arouse him Oh I would be stand up to attention for that one. There's no doubt about it. My thinginger right in there I think they'll go for a a younger type Mager Well, that's what I said M Fletcher could be seen up there. If Motherwell can find Ynesburg, Alaska, No, but they're not actually finding her center forward that's got it Bang you twenty thirty goals, Everybody's looking for them, but you struggle to find them. No, no, I'm not You know what I mean? But like I know what you're saying about Mother W went out there and found a brilliant talent and I just fit at the club donon't know if that's going to happen you ight, Premier spports Cup, the group stage action gets underway this weekend. I cannot be asked with this group stage No the Leag cup. I think it's pass. No, but I think it's good for I think it's good for teams the reason why ' because they use it as pre season I know like which is better than listen, I I used to It's far too early I used to in the middle of July. I know, but it's competitive. Whas in my day I used to have to go and get teams from England up to Somerset or whatever and get lower league teams And you only go a little bit the fitness out. Th these games give you the fitness, the sharpness. It gives you an indication how your squad is is competitive. For instance, you look at your first game. It would be a difficult game. rightight? It'll be a difficult game. There's some good games in there. I just think that You've still got to qualify because it's still le c Well that's right Yeah. Right, right. But it gives you it gives you a big teams a good L St Man, for instance, visiting Dunbarton or G to S Man That's still a competitive game. I like it I know it's earirly, but I like it because I would rather have that than play a Hamiltonack is not friendly Right You're absolutely Hamilton obsessed today. I think you cant stop mentioning Hamilt I know I need to go to Hamil. You need to go Hamil. I'll just fuckingch. Yeah. Right. Okaykay, so that's all kicking off this weekend.

Hello to Stephen Duff What is something about professional football that fans rarely see or understand Professional football What is something about professional football that fans rarely see or understand? So like what do you see as a former professional? manager that the normal fan would never see is it like a change in for meate or you know is it something stuff like that or is it something as it something that that annoys you that fans never understand? Like they always moan about a certain thing R there's always a you're like, no, I can see the reasoning behind that blah, blah, blah. I think what Fans a majority of fans will do, but guys who have been in football don't do all the time is I think fans can just foay the ball Right. So they never know where like say For instance, a man taking a defender away and a f might be thinking, where why is you know coming and playing or whatever, but he's making space for for other players.ame game intelligence as I call it. Yeah. You know what I mean? you sacrifice yourself like see You could you could you could be hardly on the ball but have a really good game. but a fan would probably turn around and go Oh, he was shut. neverever kicked it today. Do understand that. But he's in game intelligence to go and take people out the different areas to allow other people that you've been working on and training and your tactics to get into dangerous areas, then I think that's the one that I think a lot of fans don't because a lot of fans, majority two of them will always just follow the ball. whereas you look where the ball is and then people in the game would look where how are they going to get that ball to where it's going to be Where does that midfield player? whyy is he making that run there? Why is he doing that? And I think that's the difference way. I think professionals and guys it just turn up to watch it. See when you do like drills at training, right? Yeah. third man running stuff like that. See when you do drills at training, right Do you do it So that it almost just is drilled into the player's head so that they do it instinctively and naturally, or are they thinking o, I did this in training I'll do this here Or is it J or is it just like you keep doing the same things over and over like patterns, they play and movements and runs and stuff. Do you do that in training to almost make it second nature for the players. Yeah, you work on it, you work on it during the week. you work on, say, for instance a straight partnership Right. So in my day, we used to always play two up top and you would always have one striker going short, one going long. then the minute the ball if it been in short then the stri the second striker would know where to go. If it went inl you had to spin off and you had to get yourself where it be front post back post, then you would have a midfield player. So you would have to have your midfield player watching to see where you're going so that he can attack. So if you go and attack the front ps, he's got to attack the backbard. If he goes and attacks if youack if you go around the back ps, he then can get to the front board. So you work on patterns of play. But that's what I mean. Are the players even thinking about that during the game Oh, what one hundred percent. L if you're doing like when you were a player, if you were doing that in training, you're thinking about that Be because that was that was as a young lad G through Rangers. we work we done that every day, nearly every day. As a striker, I would go and work with the strikers, right? So guys like Derek Johnson, John McDonald, all these guys. Planes and you would work on your movement became shak. Nature te. You know what I mean? You knew that when you're midfield player, your right hand sideed midfield player got the ball, who was going short, who was going long, which space were you leaving for a midfield player to come? So yeah you would work on that. but also nowadays You've get guys with very good game intelligence that They'll see things They'll know just work c and go or have to go and get into that space because that's what we work done in draining You're intelligent enough to realize That's maybe only time to go and do this. rightight. The best striking partnership I've played by a lot of good players, but for some reason I've played by Craig Brewster, you'll know Right I think L was like they play intntelligent, right And I remember scoring a gold I think it was against it Mer at loveove Street all loveove street time Craigie had come off and he took the ball and need is back to goals. And I made a run And he had his back tape where I was right and I made the run And he just turn he took it with one touch and he fired it right through And he distinctly knew where I was And I went through boom scored the goal. And there's two things to that. I was thinking to myself What made me make that run And secondly, how did he fucking know I' made that run Do you know what I mean? Be he's back was to goals I was there. And did you work on that training's that natural? N was the only striker I never worked with in training because we just had this report against we sort of a knew where traason you mentioned that because you obviously played with Stevie Crawford as well roververs, right? and he was just a young was coming through when you were playing with them, but obviously went on to play with Dam Fermmland and with Craig Brstler. That's right Adam Fermwland and their partnership was unbelievable and it was kind of the same Yeah Like Kbiston had holded up the balll And he would find Stevie Crawffer's run every single time. He was just an intelligent player. And sometimes you had strikers and then you had the other ones when I went in management, you had to coach them constantly day in, day out just to get the basics because you're working at a lower level. Yeah, rightight. So they didn't have the intelligence of a guy withability G Cig Brister cut up because I'm slnaamped to take hikeups. Dale Boy says, is an orange called an orange because it's orange? or the color orange called orange because because of of an orange Basically, what orange came first the color or the fruit must have been through. Chillren the fruit came first. Yeah. You didn't think so? No, I did, right? Be course it did, Yeah? So I'll just call it orange. The English word was originally used for the orange tree and its fruit around the thirteenth century. The color was not named until the fifteen forties. fifteen forties. Before that, English speakers called the color yellow red Yellow red This color as orange. This is why I'm needing three weeks fucking off. Right?
