Whatever happens we have to accept this is no quick fix. The players let us down big time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Neil: <\/b>Postecoglou would be the perfect fit. He would get the players playing with swagger and confidence, and he can be pragmatic when needed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Colin: <\/b>Postecoglou. Let&#8217;s get the ball forward at pace and put teams under pressure. It&#8217;s time to leave behind the &#8216;let&#8217;s keep it tight&#8217; philosophy we&#8217;ve followed since the 1990s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Gordon:<\/b> Postecoglou, a serial winner, who knows the Scottish game, has had great success as the Australian national coach and, most of all, knows how to get his players to score goals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Activity D:<\/b> Scotland should turn to Postecoglou. He has the CV, having managed at a World Cup and in Scotland. His style will get the team back on the front foot and he has charisma and authority.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Mark:<\/b> There is no rush but I would look at Postecoglou, Kasper Hjulmand and Jurgen Klinsmann as an outsider. Whoever comes in has a good job as we will be at the next Euros with us being one of the host nations with a really good chance to get through groups for first time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Ewan:<\/b> Need someone who has experience of Scottish football and international football &#8211; could we consider Roberto Martinez if he leaves Portugal?<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Gavin:<\/b> Given there are no outstanding Scottish candidates, I&#8217;d look at someone like Thomas Frank. Comes across as knowledgeable and intelligent with a tactical plan that would suit our team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">AnonaScot:<\/b> Pep is available.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tommy: I think Ange Postecoglou is a consideration but his recent record is poor.
