Project Brave

Never mind the bollocks that will doubtless come of this SFA vanity project.

What steps would YOU like to see implemented in Scottish football in an attempt to improve our domestic and national side/s?

Re: Project Brave

Bulldoze Hampden. Project Sh1thole I'd call it.

Re: Project Brave

At the top 2 x 18 team leagues, the regional pyramid system below it consisting of 3 leagues (north, east and west), and nothing to stop any decent club that wanted to progressing thru it.

Quite like the new LC set up, but I'd bin the seeding.

But real change in Scottish football will only come when they address the disastrous changes that have been made in youth development over the last 20 years.  The academy system thats being used has failed, need to pick the good points from it and adapt them into the older system which produced far greater results

The issue of making things more competitive needs addressed too, some steps need to be taken too redistribute some wealth to make that happen. Competitive football brings out the best in players.

Re: Project Brave

Back to two points a win, bring tennents sixes back in january, league cup winners get European football, managers that use the phrase we need to be hard to beat get booted out of football for life

Re: Project Brave

One fresh ruling body, the SFA, with a clear out of the committee system and those who have been part of the failure of the past couple of decades. That includes Malky ‘Judge me on what you see going forward’ Mackay.

The SPFL and the board would go. The much vaunted Ann Budge, who only a couple of months ago joined the Scottish Professional Football League's board, said at the time: "I think 42 senior clubs is too many for Scotland. You're looking at about half that number.” Others in power agreed, forgetting that they are keen to have more teams in the lower leagues, starting with two clubs who keep on showing their fannies to the English leagues.

The Glasgow twins won’t be any part of a solution to Scottish football’s problems: they are the major problem.

Gate sharing should return in some form: football needs two teams to make each game. Prize money more evenly distributed, presently the top sides get a disproportionately large sum.

Hampden should be dumped, international games shared around the country, including the use of Murrayfield.

Three leagues of fourteen each instead of four with 12/10/10/10. Home and away, then a split, 6/8 and home and away again (gives 36/40 games).

Reserve league instead of development league. Reserve teams to include at least 7 under 21 (Scottish?) players.

Referees not allowed to officiate in matches within 15 (?) miles of their home town.

Fixtures chosen for television to be announced at least 3 months in advance (with concessions for the last round after the split). Clubs limited to the amount of home fixtures that can be chosen for television, and Glasgow twins being included in the rota of home teams chosen. If I could, I’d actually limit live TV games to 1 or 2 maximum per club, unless a far, far better deal is secured.

Junior clubs to be part of the pyramid system, no exceptions.

Plenty other things I might suggest, but this would do for starters.

Re: Project Brave

Why do none of the blazers talk about the fact that we now have the most uncompetitive league in europe.  Nothing else matters without competition. League structure youth systems goverance all irrelevant. If all 40 chairman resign from the league the problem would be solved would anyone miss the bigot brothers.

Bulldoze Largs

coaching badges are worthless

West Coast media/bias has f ucked it-the league , the national team, the lot

Your not allowed to manage or coach a professional club without passing a coaching course, I wouldn't agree on the Glasgow media have fucked the league I would say the reason the league is now so uncompetitive is simply Celtic are now so far ahead on money terms no one in spl apart from rangers if they get financially stable can ever compete with them again for a league title and I think they both have to move from Scottish football possibly to England in order for Scottish football to get competitive again, I believe ourselves Aberdeen Motherwell hearts hibs would all get bigger crowds home and away if league was close and all had decent chance of winning it

No-one is more critical of the SFA than myself and they get many many things wrong....but Largs isn't one of them.

Some of the coaches who have taken their A and B Pro-License there include the following (amongst many many others).

Jim McLean
Sir Alex Ferguson
Jock Stein
Walter Smith
Carlos Queiroz
Fabio Capello
Andre Villas-Boas
Eusebio
Jose Mourinho
Arrigo Sacchi

Oh and our very own Ray McKinnon who impressed so much at the courses that the SFA had him running them for a time.

Even Ian Cathro and his laptop got his badges at Largs.

Re: Project Brave

Indeed. My old boy did his badges there and says he got a lot out of it. Its not without problems though. I'll type some things up later.

Although Cathro seemingly said to the assessors, "Everyone here thinks your courses are shite." SCENES.

Re: Project Brave

The problem is not the higher level of coaching qualifications which i think in the main is really pretty good, although it's still got a 'for the ex-pro's only' attitude. The issue starts from grassroots and this is where the kids coming through are suffering.

There are too many coaching qualifications in the structure which then waters down the actual coaching process as it's a money making machine for the SFA.

You can do a 1.1 qualification in one day and do next to no coaching but at the end of it you get a qualification to go and take kids coaching 

90% of other sports are now through the UKCC structure and this allows a structured and detailed development pathway for the coaches. the UKCC Level 1 is approx £300 compaired to £45 for the SFA one and lasts for a minimum of three full days with coaching to be delivered and monitored as part of the qualification.
 
go figure that the other sports in the main have a much higher level of coaches working with the kids at a participation level than football.

Good points MD.

I've said this before but to coach in Iceland now you have to be a FIFA accredited coach.And that's to coach kids from as young as 5 years old up.

They've also made it accessible for people to play the game in an environment with even more inclement weather than ours.

Iceland should be the benchmark for Scotland in terms of how to turn round our sport from grassroots level right upto the national side.

Re: Project Brave

Iceland are the benchmark but the simple fact is in Scotland, clubs can't afford to pay to put all coaches through a UEFA Licence and the Government aren't interested in paying for it or for loads of covered artificial pitches all over the country.
