One Way Ticket

After listening to Scotland being outclassed at home by a team ranked 77th in the world (15 places below us), I, like many, decided time was up for Berti Vogts.
The Daily Record have even gone to the lengths of purchasing the Scotland manager a one way ticket back to Germany, a gag that would have been much funnier had it not already been done, by a Dutch newspaper to Dick Advoccat during Euro 2004.
Having had a couple of days to reflect, I feel that just sacking Berti would be wrong.
Due to changes at our work, myself and Tom currently find ourselves in a situation where our total incompetence is just being gradually uncovered. You may have noticed we haven’t been blogging as much. Are we being sacked? No, we are being re-trained and given more work to do and that’s what I think should happen to Berti.
Since he clearly has no idea what he is doing, he should be made to “buddy up” with someone who’s recently won something.
My suggestion? Martin O’Neil.
Berti would either learn that winning touch from the man who revived Celtic’s fortunes or he would act as he has done for Scotland, as a Jonah, bringing nothing but misfortune and disaster. Which would suit me either way.
