Jumping the gun

edit

Why has someone set Walter Smith as the current manager of Rangers? As of 12.20pm on the 5/1/07 even the Rangers Website havent announced that! Anyway, it will be unlikely that Smith will be the day-to-day manger due to his commitments to Scotland.

Opinion

edit

Walter will be the next manager believe you me and he will bring the good times back to Ibrox just as he has with Scotland. The pull of going back to his spiritual home is just too strong to ignore for him.

I added a short line just to report on the press speculation, can be updated pretty soon I bet - Niall McG.

Surely we can accept BBC sport as being a good enough source so that we can state he is the new Rangers manager?

Looks like he isnt now, Scotland have rebuffed the Approach?

BBC Sport reporting that they 'understand' something is not the same as it being true. They are guessing as much as anyone else.

Best Possible Start

edit

Seems unencylcopedic to say this. It seems like opinion. Besides a 6-0 win is better than a 5-0 win so how can 5-0 be the "Best Possible Start"? How about "very convincing" or "very positive", either way "Best" needs to go.

I changed the sentence to be more encylcopedic, however it has been reverted. The origonal was POV.

Walter Smith seems to me to be a more suitable title, as he isn't well known as a footballer. Template:Otherpeople can be used to point to the disambig page. WATP (talk)(contribs) 19:32, 6 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Walter Smith (footballer)Walter Smith — No need for disambiguation - this is by far the best known Walter Smith. Almost all of the people listed at the present disambiguation page have qualifying middle names. The only other person with Walter Smith (something) is a relatively little known English footballer.

My apologies; I skimmed through the lead of this article, only taking in that he was the manager of Rangers, didn't notice he was also Scotland's manager. None of the other people called Walter Smith are massively noticable, so this would appear to be probably the primary topic. The Celestial City (talk) 15:31, 1 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
