Walter Smith's Sevco Love-In Shows Wacko Jacko Up For The Lickspittle He Is!!

Well lo and behold it's the return of Watty to the spotlight of Scottish Football, and as per usual where the cardigan is concerned it's all moans and groans that sevco aren't spending any money. Yes the Daily Record, continuing on from their slightly random "10 years on at Rangers" theme interviewed the ex Gers boss where he urges the new club to spend their way to oblivion... sort of. As funny as yesterday's Record piece was, it has now been covered in great detail by other bloggers. What I want to discuss today is the interview with Walter Smith that appeared in TODAY's Daily Record. Trust me it's an absolute shining example of everything associated with sevco: hypocrisy, ignorance of facts and downright lies. Wonder why the sevconians are taken for a ride by every smooth talking Larry Langley type? Look no further than this "Exclusive" interview.


First thing that is wrong is the title.


Former Rangers Boss Walter Smith Reveals His Ibrox Regrets and How He Is Embarrassed At Joining Charles Green's Board



OK so we know from the headline that Walter is embarrassed at joining sevco but what is the regrets that the brown brogued one speaks of? Could it be the fact that he was part of the original Rangers regime that spent so much more than they could afford thereby sending them spinning hopelessly into an early grave? Surprisingly enough no! This interview with resident hack Keith Jackson makes no reference or indeed apologies for the part that Sir Walter of Cardigan played in the downfall of Rangers. Strange when one considers it is is the most monumental moment and the last piece of Rangers history before the club died. Oh well. 


Keith begins the interview with the most staggering way to pose a question without really asking it.


KJ: "In 2011 Craig Whyte takes over the club, a good time to get out"



WHAT!! Seriously who wrote this powderpuff question and what is the point of even asking it? Keith has let Walter off the hook here and he has did it so easily. Here we have a guy who was spending millions at a time the club was broke and just happened to get out of dodge before it went pear shaped. Co-incidence. Probably not! What Keith should have asked was:


KJ: "Walter can we both agree that you saw the writing on the wall at Rangers and jumped ship before the brown stuff hit the fan?"



There, how hard was that? Walter gets a shock and we can then see from his reaction as he blusters his way through an explanation whether he is telling the truth. No such interviewing technique presented here though. It's all pally wally with his royal myth. Just for the record, (not the daily) anyone who believes that Watty didn't see the writing on the wall is either a sevconian or..... well actually just a sevconian.


Now we get onto the subject of Ally McCoist and a quite staggering statement is made by Keith Jackson that it actually has to be read twice before it sinks in what he is actually saying. Now sit back and relax because this is where things get all parallel universey and even allowing for the 9 title history rewrites this is something completely Wacko Jacko


KJ: "In your heard you believed Ally McCoist would be a successful manager but now know one will ever know."



Jesus wept! No one will ever know Keith? Honestly if struggling to beat part time footballers and failing to win a single decent honour while having the second highest budget in Scottish Football doesn't give you an inkling then what will? No one know's if Ally is a good manager eh? Well here's three results from Ally's time that will give you a slight clue!


Stirling Albion 1 - 0 The Rangers 


The Rangers 1 - 2 Annan Athletic


Alloa Athletic 3 - 2 The Rangers


Oh there's more than that. Losing to Raith Rovers in the Ramsden's Cup and failing to win a single one in three attempts. Ally McCoist is an absolute buffoon of the highest order! A man so lacking in managerial talent he makes Mark Warburton look like Pep Guardiola. Ally is so bad that if you gave him a massive budget in ANY league at ANY level he would make a complete royal mess of it! Keith should have grown some balls here and pulled Walter Myth up on his blatant mistake of allowing his pal to run Rangers and the newco. What makes it worse is Walter then goes on to discuss Ally's predicament and this is an actual quote when discussing Ally's player pool at the start of sevco's first season:


"In his second season he had five players a week before the start of the season. How does that happen to Rangers Football Club"


Well Walter there's this thing called liquidation and.... ach you know what forget it! Seriously what proper journalist could swallow this kind of nonsense without actually questioning it? Keith Jackson that's who! Such a pathetic, self serving lick-spittle whose moral compass is as skewed as the one carried by Jack Sparrow. Mr "Wealth Off The Radar" and his backbone lacking media pals are a delicious factor in the untimely demise of the old club and when the new one goes down the tubes they will once again put their hands up and claim they warned the sevvies but they wouldn't listen. Contempt is too good for them and thank goodness Celtic fans are not as dumb as that lot. Keith's fawning would make you feel sick! Even when asking Watty about his time on Green's board he offers an excuse to the man he is questioning.


KJ: "Is it fair to say you agreed to go on Charles Green's board to act as a potential whistleblower because you were worried about Charles Green?"



Er no Keith, that's not quite how this works! You ask a loaded question that requires the man answering to be honest. Since when were you supposed to give someone a get out clause for their actions? Jeez this interview is like two old pals catching up over a cup of tea at a nearby cafe. What you been upto? How's Ethel etc etc. Of course this being the Daily Record we can't have a piece without the obligatory dig at Celtic and lo and behold it comes from the great myth. Discussing Barcelona he defends his reputation for anti-football with:


"What do you want me to do, come and play, get beat 7-0 and say Isn't Lionel Messi brilliant?"



YOU PLAYED ANTI-FOOTBALL AGAINST SCOTTISH LEAGUE TEAMS AS WELL WALTER!!!! Sorry but this interview is enough to actually drive you to drink. Seriously reading that guff has made me realise that I'll never get the time back. Keith Jackson you are a disgrace to journalism!
