Former first minister Henry McLeish feels "let down" by an SFA board he says are "decades behind". His review led to the publication of 'Scotland United: A 2020 Vision'. "There have been some minor successes but we really haven't achieved the goals that were set out," said McLeish. "It's a question of attitude and I come back to this point I've constantly stressed: the SFA structure is still old-fashioned. It's decades behind and if you look at some of the more promising countries of the world, they're going massively forward and it's all about investment in elite talent."
