Souness: I won't step into shoes of under-fire Scotland boss Burley

Graeme Souness has ruled himself out of the running to replace George Burley as Scotland manager.   Burley was axed on Monday after Saturday's 3-0 friendly defeat by Wales in Cardiff.   Souness was interviewed by the Scottish Football Association before Burley was appointed in January 2008 but he has since lost interest in the post.   Not interested: SounessNot working: Burley The former Liverpool, Blackburn and Rangers boss, who has been out of football management since leaving Newcastle in February 2006, said: 'It's not up for grabs as we speak. If it was up for grabs next week, next month or a year from now, I wouldn't be applying for it.   'I don't want the job. I wouldn't want the job. It's not for me at this time, my life is going in a different direction.'  The SFA board will meet this week to discuss Burley's position but Souness believes any Scotland manager would struggle with the current squad.   'You could have Arsene Wenger or Alex Ferguson managing that group of players, but the outcome wouldn't be much different,' Souness told Sky Sports News.   'It is (a difficult job) in the current climate simply because they don't have the quality.   'As a Scottish manager you can't go out and buy players. You're working with a group of players that the country has produced at that particular time.' Burley on the brink as SFA prepare to discuss future of beleaguered bossWales 3 Scotland 0: Burley suffers humiliation as Ramsey rips Scots apartRep of Ireland 0 France 1: Irish rage at Diarra slur as they head for ParisBrazil 1 England 0: Fabio Capello's second-string outclassed in Qatar Move over Cesc Fabregas: Ramsey is ready to step up and shine at Arsenal
