SFA board to approach Walter Smith

[greenlex]

Have the SFA not learned their lesson. Why are they publicly chasing the next manager again after the Michael O’ Neill debacle. ****ing amateurs.

[aarsan]

Booked to go to Budapest for Hungary game, but afraid that will be my last one until the whole SFA is cleared out.

[pacoluna]

How can you go from Michael O'Neill to Walter bloody Smith!

Di Matteo out of the question? Did well at Chelsea before being undermined. Wages maybe an issue but been out of work for a little bit would bring fresh ideas.

SFA would cock that up and offer it to Dominic Matteo instead.

Can't help but think the only person who really wants it, and is qualified, is Strachan. Walter Waistcoat ; aye fine but if I was being cynical, I'd say it's just seethers getting all upset about this weekend, aiming daggers at Murty and looking for Walter to dust off his navy suit and brogues one last time. Big Eck - if he was ever a candidate - would have been offered it by now.

[Hi Heid Yin]

So the dinosaurs at the SFA are going for another dinosaur in Walter Smith.
This tired, instransigent jobs-for-the-boys club needs to be carted off and retired to a remote pasture and replaced with fresh young blood with a dynamic world view of football and the energy to lead and take our footballing backwater into a new era.

[Dashing Bob S]

This sums up this country under the union, a second rate hovel run by decades of fat Labour Daily Record Masonic no marks. Can’t believe we’d accept such mediocrity if we truly had to take responsibility for ourselves. No other country would seriously consider Smith.

[Pretty Boy]

Are we really to believe in the entire world of football there isn't anyone within Scotlands price range who isn't as qualified as Walter Smith? Maybe even better?

He was a good manager in his day but he's been retired for 7 years FFS. This just screams either desperation or lack of imagination. Or more likely, both.

[G B Young]

My lack of passion for, or even interest in the national team is something I'm happy to admit to, but even I'm stunned by what a clueless organisation the SFA are if they're seriously considering asking Smith to come out of retirement.

As CEO or manager? According to Chick Dung yesterday on Sportsound his wife winnae allow him to unretire.

Hope she digs her heels in makes sure he stays retired, that would be a real gift to her hubby and even more for Scottish national football.

I'd rather Sir Alex was used if we're gonna go down the route of experience with a younger coach like Gemmill

At this rate it's gonna be the duo from chewin the fat!

Im in the same boat. Id stop international football now if i could. Still cant help cringing a bit the SFA didn't have a plan B after O'Neil.

[Vini1875]

I hope Watty gets it and they stop talking about Lennie. Add in some other dinosaur for CEO and I'll be delighted for them to stop going on about the "lassie" at Easter Road.

The one big reason I had left for us not to disband the Scottish leagues and amalgamate in a UK league was the probable loss of the national team... For me that at least is no longer an issue.

Seen in a few papers that he's up for it too.

He's been retired for 7 years. What a terribly backwards thinking appointment.

Back to the future.. absolutely brutal..just like LD being ruled out by some because she was once a Rangers season ticket holder..give me strength, that team doesn't even exist today 🙄🙄

Alarmingly told RP and McRae defended and wanted Regan to stay

That was all over the press the day after Regan left.

Is she interested and is she available?

Yup but mainly because it'll guarantee Hibs cup final tickets for her and her sister. She also says that she can't do Wednesday evening or Saturday afternoon games because it's the big prize games at the bingo.

Depends on how much the SFA want her by the sounds of it.

And yet you manage to comment on it at every opportunity, to remind us, presumably, of what a great Unionist you are.

OK, we get it.

There is only one Watty and he is the lead singer of Edinburgh "pop" band The Exploited!! A bit left field [he is a Jambo] but at least there would be loads of passion 😎

If Scotland appoint Walter Smith that’ll be it for me with international football.

Yip, me too. Used to love going to Scotland games. Had some memorable away trips especially, even though we rarely won. My interest is hanging by a thread now due to the clowns running our national game. If the traitor makes a return that will enough for me to bolt.

If the SFA are approaching Walter Smith, let’s hope it’s roughly from behind !!!

I sometimes wish there was a subforum on here with threads which didn't turn anti Hibs within minutes.

If it's not Lennon for being a crap manager, it's Dempster for some reason, then we get the full bingo by including Petrie as a SFA lackey FFS!

Some people seem unhappy unless they are whining about something..... anything.

Some people can't wait. Really sad.

Walter Smith eh! Maybe someone should start a thread about it.

I'm not really bothered who gets it as long as they leave Hibs alone.

Yip, same here. I'm not in the slightest bit interested in the national team. And I hate international breaks -waste of a weekend.

You watch the Scottish rugby team though why the difference?

Order of events for the SFA should be :

1. recruit a competent CEO (eg Leanne)
2. Re-approach Michael O'Neill. Apologise for Stewart Regan, arguably the most incompetent buffoon to run the SFA, and plead with MO to give us another chance.
