The iconic status that Walter Smith has among The People is a given.
Consequently, it was no surprise that the King faction within the Blue Room contacted the Blessed Cardigan yesterday.
I’m told that the first call wasn’t answered.
The second call was picked up.
Sadly, he politely, but firmly declined the offer to come back into the management structures at Ibrox.
The dream team that was envisaged was Walter Smith as the figurehead Director of Football with Jimmy Nicholl as the senior chap in the dugout.
I’m told that Kenny Miller, Jonatan Johansson and Barry Ferguson would have completed this dignified rebirth at the stadium John Brown played for.
A cynic might conclude that this was merely virtue signalling to bring in the maximum amount of season ticket sales.
However, the blessed Walter was key to this Churchillian charade working on The People.
I’m told that he said no.
Just like Derek McInnes…

I see Davy Provan has been attacked over his claim that Wattie worked miracles taking quote ‘a bang average Rangers team to the UEFA finals.’
Not a big fan of Provan’s but a look at the stats at the stats tell their own story.
9 games played in the competition, 5 goals scored.
Zero shots on target in the final itself.
They made it to Manchester in 2008 with improperly registered players.
It was an EBT squad.
Phil, do you think Big Eck will do the decent thing and his use his win bonus last night to make some payment towards the £1.7m he owe us…no me either.
Administration 1 coming soon guys

The Cardigan . What can one say?
Would have been lauded by Herrera as an icon of how to Park the bus.
Is it not strange how every one of these players, coaches, greenkeepers tea ladies, etc,etc are all referred to as leg-ends. Shower of sad sacs. Heh, heh,heh!
This Saga is brilliant. Thank you sir.
It’s obvious that those who made their fortune from Rangers(IL) and Sevco…have no intention of giving any of it back.
Now that’s what I call loyalty.
Keep it up lads.
They`ll be wheelin`out statues of the McNeil`s,McBeath and Campbell next.
sevco King to Grave FC.
What’s WALTER doin ,what’s WALTER doin Tom
The man with no surname has already fcuked off last sinking ship . It would be like tunnelling into the Alamo oh well let’s watch them tear each other to pieces and see what shite appears in the Hun Media
I have it on good authority that the man who will replace Murty hails from a place called Del Monte. The ex-rangers man in charge of Aberdeen said no… Lord Waistcoat of Cardigan said no. If asked properly, the man from Del Monte will say yes.
I heard a wee rumour there that the thickos have another version out of the penny arcade it’s now called the benny arcade .
Why are they called the bennies?
If Watty is the manager sevco aspire to then we will have no problems wrapping up 10 titles. The dizzy heights of mediocrity for the blue-nosed lot indeed.
Seems to me that they can’t afford to aim any higher and that any manager of note will not be standing in a queue at the bigotdome. In fact they’ve had more knockbacks than the taxman at Ipox but maybe the man from Del Monte might say yes. HH
Oul Watty lacking the concomitant dignity and staunchness.
Has the chaps in the blue corner posted there financial results in order gain entry to Europe for next season yet?
‘In the ancient land of the blind ,the cockeyed man is king’
Nothing “blessed” about WS, I’m afraid.
He’s already made his mullyins & will continue to be adored by the People he and his apprentice Ally shafted.
Phil; Shirley you jest! The blessed Cardigan turned them down….
I guess the fall back plan will be Super Sally? Those ST’s will be hard to move without one of their own blowing smoke up their erchie! 🙂
Ah see club 1872 are pushing all the begging bowls out for as much cash as possible. A day of questions &answers at the gripes bar oops the grapes bar all welcome but a donation of any sort would be welcomed. What a bunch of tramps it’s only a matter of time before they are in the middle of the town asking people on the street for money they’ve tried everything else . They will use their arrogance to move street beggars on for them to take their place .
Good to have you back phil .So big wattie the tattie is slinging them all a deafy oh dear and that was their answer to as well for the panic button being pressed . Obviously the brown stuff will be running down the inside of their legs now but the media will take care of it and deal with it in a positive manner as they do .Big wattie the tattie didn’t want to be part ofor the sinking ship the last time round and he certainly won’t be this time either. As I said before people who shakes hands with King should count their fingers after it after all you put shifty and shady into the washing machine King would come walking out .
Shame that.I enjoyed Mr.Myth’s carefree,eye-candy style of football his team’s displayed.Football’s the real loser here. ?
Ahahaha.
Sarcasm Mark, is said to be the lowest form of wit. Many though, believe it’s the highest form of intelligence. That comment WAS FUNNY!!!
Now, *WHY* would turn them down, I wonder? 😉
“… why would ‘The Walter’ …”
You mean the waltzer dancer or chamber mmm
You mean the waltzer dancer chancher
Aw Shucks!
