I guess there would be no problem with the International Director choosing himself IF the team were happy with that International Director being their captain. Therefore, it is of no great surprise to me that there was no issue with Alan Minnican (strong player, great laugh, serious gent, cares for Scottish chess) going in 2000.
But you can count on your cornflakes, that this doesn't seem to be the case here - it seems that it is of no great secret that the players do not want Andy to be their captain. Is this similar to Paulo Di Canio at Sunderland? Cause that didn't end well...
I'm just worried that there will be a tense and uncomfortable atmosphere that will mean the players will not perform to the level they are capable of.
