joker69 60 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 My apologies if already posted:-Walter Smith has opened talks with Rangers about a return to the club as a non-executive director.The legendary manager, who won ten Scottish Premier League titles at Ibrox, ended his second stint in charge of the club in 2011.But the Daily Record are reporting that Smith is holding talks with chief executive Charles Green, with an announcement expected in the coming days.Smith, 64, is yet to commit to any deal, but with the Rangers needing to raise funds for a share issue, planned for late November or early December, Smith's presence on the board would help to get fans onside and convince them that the club are in the right hands.Other names lined up for a boardroom role include one-time Blue Knight, Ian Harte, and Edinburgh based hedge-fund expert Stephen Adams with Smith's decision believed to be crucial to convincing either to commit.Smith was present on Wednesday as Rangers were dumped out of the Scottish League Cup by Inverness.Read more at http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/177433.html#sHr6efH0GwG2rzck.99 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traynor and Walter are close.They're a tabloid, it could be any of the guttersnipes printing the story, end of the day none of the shite they write is worthy of attention, i'd sooner stick to official news than this "speculation" just so they can sell their rags.

stuart54 218 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 This man gave me some of my greatest memories as a Rangers Supporter.Come back to Ibrox Sir Walter - Just like every other Bear, It's your home and it's where you belong.You just wouldn't be happy anywhere else.

He's blue he's white 717 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I think it would be the biggest master stroke by Green yet. Would help Ally to steady the ship, boost all the players and staff around Ibrox, other teams would start to be worrying of Rangers again and floatation of shares would be more if a success.

harlands plater 16,988 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 If this does happen it will probably be publically described along the lines of "not interfering in the playing side" but I hope he does interfere because somebody needs to.

wheresmymonkey 17 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Sir Walter knows the traditions that seek him, he will be an ambassador to our club. He will always be remembered as one of the greatest managers for us(even though we didn't like some of his tactics at times)Smith if the ideal person to take the rains one CG hangs up his tie and heads for france. Let hope if thats the case, we'll see some more fighting spirit now he doesnt have anyone keeping him back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weshallnotbemoved! 714 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Walter shouldn't come back. He's had his time. Now for a fresh culture and ideas.It will be nigh on impossible to change the training and back room staff if he comes back. He is loyal to them. Especially Durrant.

scottyboyblue 61 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I love Ally to bits, but he needs a wee bit help just now, and who better, i agree with harlands, it will officially be outwith the playing side, but of course he'll be involved to a certain degree, for me it's a no brainer, win win all round Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
