And ..... “The most damning indictment of that job right now is that Walter Smith won’t take it,” eh? nothing to do with his age and wanting to enjoy his family etc? What a fuckwit article.

While I don't think Murty is the man to take us forward. He's beaten Mcinnes 3 x times. He's also managed to get 2 points against Brenda while Mcinnes has lost 10 straight. Replacing Murty with Mcinnes would be the dumbest decision this board could make. The scary part it would not surprise me if they did this. If we decide to go for a manager in the league, Clarke is the best contender. The Ibrox Derry and Gazza2258 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro spent 10m in the summer and couldn't even get the team out of the 1st round. While Smith did spend money it's not a lot more than what we've spent recently. His biggest spend was his 2nd full season at 20m. And a lot of that came off the hutton sale and the money the UEFA cup run generated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me once you knock back the Rangers job. You should never be in consideration again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthranger 3,937 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 We're never appointing Walter. He's completely different to the approach the board are taking with the DOF, youth overhawl etc. We all know Walter would get us winning but he'd fill our team with cloggers and would bypass the youth/attack minded players. I love Walter, but let the man have his retirement. He first retired almost 20 years ago, do you think his heart is still in it?
