[Archived] Walter Smith

[Rovers_786]

Walter Smith for Director of football strong rumours he is on his way ,Steve Kean has mention his name to the owners what is going on the owners are just listening to him.

Walter Smith days as manager are over i don't want him here because Steve Kean is here and its turning out that rovers are becoming a Cockey Mafia like Newcastle are,if Walter Smith is on his way.

This was the talk I managed to dig out today over the weekend this matter was spoken about.

[donnermeat]

I would welcome it, he knows his football.

Surely Smith + Kean is better than just Kean??

Can't see it happening though.

[Majiball]

Director of football, we already have a director of sport what do we need a DoF for?

This lot don't have a scooby do what they are doing and if we do get a DoF after a DoS, then it's clear there is no plan and they are just reacting.

[Amo]

This is misleading. Better to keep this stuff inside any number of 'Kean' threads until it's fact.

[chris]

yeah put a ??? on the title

Though this was confirmed for a sec, it's just another rumour at the moment.

[martonrover]

If true it shows that Kean realises he is under threat. Not keen on Smith but could stomach him replacing Kean as manager. As D.O.F. with Kean staying NO THANK YOU

[AllRoverAsia]

The appointment of anyone as DoF smacks of trying to cover up the fact that Kean is not a Manager. Why give Kean a nursemaid to be blamed when things go wrong. Kean may be an OK coach but he is not a Manager. The whole idea stinks but Ewood has become a smelly place since all that Chicken sh1t arrived.

A positive thing is that Smith would know what he is doing in regards to all things football; a negative would be he would also see straight away that Kean does not and would probably pass on the role.

If he does get it, I hope he introduces himself to Kean and our illustrious owners with a Glaswegian kiss.

I would pay to see that and pay a lot to do it.

So if you are reading between the lines (if true) - Kean/Venkys decide someone has to pay the price for our relegation form since last December. Jensen goes - Kean appoints Clement (his man) and also suggests someone experienced joins to help out...

[RibbleValleyRover]

If true I really don't see the point of it at all.

I doubt our form would turn around either if such a move was made. Kean would still be here and he is the number 1 factor driving us to relegation.

Makes the Monty Python skit where aliens are turning the world into Scottish men so a blamonge can win Wimbledon kinda sane and grounded.

Why a new thread? nothing confirmed, and we have several threads talking about this?

Another thread to talk ######

That too.

[tcj_jones]

Every time a director of football is appointed, the manager either leaves or gets the sack shortly after. PLEASE make this rumour be true!

[daverich]

Every other time venkys are not involved, venkys are the exception to the rule!

[dopper69]

Will be welcome news if true

[roverandout]

not in my eyes, just another tier of management we dont need, walter smith will blame kean if things havent improved and kean will do the same with smith.

[ABBEY]

Who cares just get kean out .

[Bluefudge]

Totally wrong for us, the guy and his football are in the past.

[T4E]

Please save us Walter. I will love you more than I already do. Which is a hell of a lot.

[rebelmswar]

Yes, winning is something that is way in the past.
