The only thing I'd differ from what Stutts wrote earlier is that I don't think it's so crucial not to be relegated down to (Scotland's level) League C. These league games would have been great for a new coach to prepare for the Euro qualifiers, playing against quality opponents at a competitive level but not do or die. Unfortunately as Dylan Thomas might have written, we are left to rage against the dying of the light instead of witnessing something new growing.
When this nations league was finally launched I didn't see the possible benefits, I thought the structure was overly complicated. But now i'm sold on it, why not ditch the friendlies altogether and have a 4 team group?
