              to be fair... A Knighthood for services to sport would, for me, have to reflect a long tenure and successful one.. The measure of success can't be judged on just 2 teams... The Scottish league is very poor outside the top 2.. Rangers or Celtic are guaranteed a trophy each year..

              Ferguson took Utd from has been no marks to the gold standard bearer.. Smith has hardly done the same..

              Look at the managers who have been at either Rangers or Celtic.. They can't match the success outside the Scottish league..

              I'm sorry but a knighthood is well over the top..

                    I would say a European Cup 5life.. Did you see the common denominator in Paisley, Stein & Clough??

                    Dedicated his life to football?? What's all that about? How many thousands/millions of others do that!? You're clutching at straws with that one me thinks.

                    As for seeing off Celtic managers.. Are you counting Strachan in that? & does that get someone a knighthood then? Martin O'neil saw off his fair share of Rangers managers, does he deserve a knighthood?

                    Not good enough again I'm afraid.

                      Totally agree. Though to be fair Celtic & Rangers managers haven't really had the chance to manage any of the top clubs in the EPL, so they are not going to have the same chance of success.

                      Here's a question...If Smith is that good would any of the top 4 or 5 clubs in the EPL touch him??? Would they be more likely to give a job to Martin O'neil???

                          So your answer is that the top clubs in England would have Walter Smith as manager instead of Martin O'neil??? Smith a man who nearly took Everton down ahead of O'neil who took over Villa when they were looking like relegation contenders & "blew it on not getting 4th place." Interesting...I would be interested to hear other peoples opinion.

                          I know Liverpool fans are not happy with the Waiter at the moment, but would they be happy with the Walter???

                          Walter Smith for next manager at Anfield!!

                            Martin ONeil is a fantastic manager in my opinion and should have been the England manager ahead of Capello and Liverpool should do everything to get him to Anfield.Walter Smith is also a fantastic manager who would be a success in England in my opinion you can only beat what is in front of you as the man said and he has done that so long live Sir Walter.
