McLeish NEW BIRMINGHAM BOSS

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/7114028.stm

This will make things more difficult for the FAI in their search for a new manager

thats for sure, 9 out of 10 would jump at the scottish job before irish one. can see him doin a job at birmingham (as much as I dont like the man :D)

That's twice Scotland have suffered. Makes it even more important that we don't hire a (Jewell-like) boss who wants club management.

Why? We both finished 3rd in our respective groups and we have been far more consistent than Scotland over the past 20 years and probably have a more talented squad.

One swallow does not a summer make.

Over the last 3 campaigns they have been better than us. They to to a playoff for Euro 2004 they beat Norway, Slovenia, France away over this time too.
