Stewart Regan will never offer his resignation to the SFA.
On Monday the latest embarrassment to feature on his CV arrived when Michael O’Neill rejected an offer to become the new Scotland manager.
Since taking on the Chief Executive job at Hampden Regan has presided over four qualification failures, appointed three Performance Directors and attempted to put a club from Ibrox into the top tier after predicting social unrest if that wasn’t the case.
Incredibly despite that catalogue of failure not one club has ever put a motion of No Confidence to the SFA.
With a system of committees to shield him from reality Regan is well versed at brass necking it through any crisis that arises with the O’Neill snub small beer compared to the other failings that he has presided over.
Speaking to Sky Sports he said: “My position is for my board to consider. But we need to separate the reality from the media noise.
“I respect the frustrations of the supporters. I’m not prepared to go into the shortlist, it’s confidential.
“The board has put a sub-committee together and have been part of the process from the outset.”
In today’s European Nations draw Scotland were paired with Israel and Albania with those matches likely to be played at Pittodrie and Easter Road as a gesture of thanks to the host clubs attempts to move on.
