How do you affect that group if you've got them?
I don't know.
Over a season, how many days would it be?
Would it be three weeks you have with them in total?
so it's a very difficult job did you ever fancy the guys I actually went for an interview once and they gave it to George Burley and I heard about it the first I heard I didn't get the job was when I read about it in the newspaper or it might have been on Sky Sports News but it certainly wasn't a phone call to say sorry but we've gone somewhere else
And then after that, noises were made that I should maybe apply, but that sort of left a bitter pill with me, so I've never been near it again, and it's been and gone for me.
It's the thing of the past for me now.

I know that the Premier League buys from all over the world now, but
You know, the Scottish players had a major influence in the big league down here.
That doesn't exist, and that tells you that the quality was there then, but it's not there right now.
Hopefully that does change.
So, who else did you say Chris is coming through?
Going back to when we were qualifying for World Cups regularly,
The criticism was, we never got out of the groups.
