Ben Dover Posted January 24, 2008 Dont know if it was dredged up on any of the other Burley-scotland threads but Chick young, in his BBC column last week said "I am convinced now that Mark McGhee will be the next manager of Scotland" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sydney from Sydney Posted January 24, 2008 Burley made enemies at Derby for sure, so did Davies, Gregory etc. I think Phil Anderton's comments in today's Herald about how good a coach and decent bloke he is make far more interesting reading. His references to Romanov as "the fantasy manager" are spot on. The comments from former players and others in the game that have known him suggest he's very good at his job. Burley never got the chance to finish the job he started at Hearts, and Hearts fans will always wonder what if, because of the brainstorm of an idiot. I wish Burley all the best with the Scotland job and sincerely hope it leads to an EPL appointment with a big team. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Vulture Posted January 24, 2008 http://sport.scotsman.com/results.aspx?SearchType=Normal&PageId=1&SearchText=george%20burley It's just ironic looking at where we lie now and you put GBs name in the Archive search on the Scotsman and all the articles that come up. Well well Vlad, no wonder we think what could have been Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drylaw Hearts Posted January 24, 2008 Phil Anderton"I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and other people should be ashamed of the lies and character smears. He ignored all that but, of course, I still wonder what if?' Had he continued and had he been given the backing of the board, I think there would have been a genuinely strong chance of winning the league." Well said Phil. I heard the rumours of him being an alcoholic, a womaniser and taking money from agents - mostly from fellow k'bers. And as per usual they were wrong.

Walter Kidd Posted January 24, 2008 The thought of Burley makes me sad. Might join the Travel Club again as Hearts won't be in Europe for a couple of years and I've always fancied Iceland away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boris Posted January 24, 2008 Well said Phil. I heard the rumours of him being an alcoholic, a womaniser and taking money from agents - mostly from fellow k'bers. And as per usual they were wrong. Spoke to a Southampton fan at my work today and he mentioned the boozing. So have Derby fans and Hearts fans and now Southampton fans. Doesn't really bother me if likes a drink, it didn't seem to affect the team's performances under him (at Hearts anyway), but three clubs and three seperate mentions of it suggests there is something to it. I wish him all the best though as Scotland manager and was for me the best of the four candidates. I wish Burley all the best with the Scotland job and sincerely hope it leads to an EPL appointment with a big team. Aparently the SFA were impressed by Burley's comment that this would be his last managerial job and so the SFA would not be stung like they were by Smith & McLeish walking out for club football. I'm sure it said this on the news the other day Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gambo Posted January 24, 2008 I wouldn't be too sure. If DH says it's so, be rest assured that that is the case. As he said folk talked about 'rumours' but he knows that they rumours were definately wrong (not maybe or likely to be wrong, but definately wrong).

I saw him twice with my own eyes in Agenda in Corstorphine. Once he was rat arsed but wasn't bothering anyone, but the 2nd time the doormen put him out for allegedly coming on to someones wife.

Guest JamboRobbo Posted January 24, 2008 there's no doubt GB was a big drinker. There's also no doubt he was a good manager for HMFC. I know which one mattered to HMFC and which didn't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walter Kidd Posted January 24, 2008 Brian Clough was a heavy drinker.....ruined him in the end, but won two Euro Cups when it was the real competition. It should make for a good day the first time he turns up to watch a game. At least we'll get to say cheerio now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
