Walter smith should he be knighted???

[mattybhoy]

More shite by 5life.. Well there's a suprise...

Should have expected it it been a couple of weeks...

Totally agree with Bob Paisley. Smith not in the same league as a manager. It's embarrassing to mention them both in the same sentence!

Can I chuck in another 5life? Sir Jock Stein? 9 titles in a row, plus more cups than Smith, plus..oh yeah a European Cup (the first British team to do so & with a team who were all Scottish)! Get real!

[mattybhoy]

too rite he is! winning the league the past two seasons is a great achievement, when you consider we'v e not had two brass pennies to rub toghether!!!! when was the last time rangers paid any sort of money for a player? you also have to remember the players sold hutton, fergusson to name but a few. he has been left to "make do" with what he's got... and boy did he make do........

& the titles he won in the 90's when Rangers were out spending every other Brittish club!!??? You seem to have a very short memory...

"If Celtic spend ?5, we'll spend ?10!" Remember that quote lads do we?? You probably wont 5life...

Club
Rangers
Scottish Premier League (9): 1990?91, 1991?92, 1992?93, 1993?94, 1994?95, 1995?96, 1996?97, 2008?09, 2009?10
Scottish Cup (5): 1991?92, 1992?93, 1995?96, 2007?08, 2008?09
Scottish League Cup (5): 1992?93, 1993?94, 1996?97, 2007?08, 2009?10

all these trophies he has had a 50-50 chance of winning

if i were manager of rangers or celtic i could guarantee at least second every year

Now then 5life, no need for that...

Seriously, of course you're allowed your opinion, just happens that you either don't know a great deal about football or you should really get your facts right before posting, because you're making yourself look quite silly...

Oh well, as the man said "football is nothing without fans." Even those who don't go anywhere near there teams stadium... Unless it's for a tour...

[lfc4life]

football is nothing without class hence smith has done what he has done!

[boomer39]

lost track here lads... did smith say that? i dont know.. but if you 2 are talking about "class" where, when and how????
btw, as this thread was started about "sir"... what about sir "phil taylor".?? ok some people may say darts is not a sport, but can you think of any other club/player/country who has dominated his/their sport for so long? this guy is a true legend... and he still wants to beat the shit out of everyone...and he's not short of a bob or two!!...

[im85]

good manager

got to agree with you there,phil the power taylor,arise sir

[mattybhoy]

Wouldn't argue with that Boomer. Taylor top of his game for not far short of two decades & like you said, still has the appetite.

Don't know where class has come into it mate?? Was he referring to Smith having class, so he should get a knighthood?? Maybe 5life can enlighten us?

[mattybhoy]

More like a blue peter badge just google jock steins RIP..managerial career.

Spot on mate. Our friend doesn't seem to acknowledge anything to do with the colour green though..

For the record
Stein 10 titles, Smith 9
Stein 9 Scottish cups (including 1 with Dunfirmlin), Smith 5
Stein 6 League cups, Smith 5
Stein 1 European Cup, Smith 0

No brainer.

yes stein is a legend! And so is smith but because it was done in the last 20 years it doesnt seem too matter. AND remeber apart from maybe maybe one or two seasons then smith has had not much too work with. Like i said earlier his dedication too his job deserves a kinighthood alone!

p.s join my phill taylor should be knighted group please guys thanks - Phil taylor should be Knighted..... | Facebook

I think you've got confused or you just don't know your stuff.

Because it was done in last 20 yrs it doesn't matter??? There's many on here including me who can't stand Fergie, but you can not argue with what he's done in the last 20 odd yrs, both with Aberdeen & Man U. He's been given a knighthood - fair enough, but if he's getting one so should have Bob Paisley, Jock Stein & Brian Clough.

As for Smith having "not much to work with". As I've already stated, that's for 2 out of 9 titles in Scotland. The other 7 (which my maths tells me it's the most??) his titles were bank rolled - though I'm not saying that it's that easy. If you can't remember the mid 80's - 90's fair enough, but at least do a wee bit of research. Rangers were spending as much if not more money in that time than any other British club. "Not much to work with!!!"

& Smith's great job he did at Everton nearly taking them down...Look what happened to him when he left a 2 team league?

Bob Paisley, Jock Stein, Brian Clough...'Sir'Walter Smith????? Your man is not in the same league, simple as that.

like i said i am entitled to my opinion
