delamonty 992 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Actually, this is one of the best interviews I have seen from ANY football manager.Starts off with Walter taking the p1ss out of Chico (again).But his words about how UEFA is letting a situation 'develop' is extremely serious, articulate and above all, makes perfect sense.It's just a BBC video... BBC LinkThere must be a place @ Ibrox for Walter after he 'retires'. I don't for one second believe he will walk away from the game. Not when he has this passion. (It's not bleeding out of his veins, it's subtle. Listen, and watch him). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
delamonty 992 Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Walter wants out of football at the end of the season. He has a family. He has grandkids. He wants to spend his time with them!I'd go along with that. But, that is his immediate future. It won't last imho. He'll be back in a "capacity".

mairydilk 22 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Do you think they will ever change the format? It is effectively rigging the competition every year, making the rich richer and giving the poor clubs no chance. I understand that they try to make the final a big spectacle, but it's getting quite boring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest therabbitt Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 When Walter walks away with his head held high at the end of the season, that'll be him finished with football I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyjones 3,009 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 If Walter Smith had capitalised fully on the huge advantages he had in his first spell, we may have been fully established amongst Europe's elite, with the advertising revenue becoming a moot point.

Saying that I would welcome any change that would increase our chances/ revenue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that I would welcome any change that would increase our chances/ revenue.I agree that it's becoming boring watching the top teams progress from the group stages with increasing ease. Fans around Europe are starting to vote with their feet too. Aren't attendances on the slide? If this trend continues then surely UEFA will have to alter the format.
