"While I can speak to him [McCoist], I'm more experienced, fortunately speaking," added Smith. "I had two close calls at Everton with administration but each time we managed to keep the club going so Alistair's sitting in a position that I've never been in. "It's very difficult to give someone advice about a situation that you've never been in yourself. "

That's just Walter the Disappointing trying to make his failure down here seem acceptable. Complete bullshit, IMO. As with Kenwright now, we always had the assets in blue jerseys to cover any emergency, which is why DF was sold and Matterazzi and Dacourt (and in fact in Johnson's time we still had other non-player assets to fall back on too, such as season ticket securitization, sale of properties etc - which I'm sure Hamperman would also have sold off in the long run like Kenwright actually has).

The fact is our debt was barely £20M when he left the club and the financial system was not in the mess it's in today and could be easily held off in terms of paying off overdraught facilities and interest.

What a class act Walter Smith continues to be: his beloved Rangers are on their knees but he has time to use that to spin a story to put himself in a better light for his disastrous management of Everton.
 
Davek - you do live in a completely different world dont you! Smith did an ok job at everton given the difficult circumstances he had to deal with. All be it the last year or so was a bit poor. For some reason u seem to believe that everton should b able to challenge for the league when we dont have the resources to do so and havent for about twenty years, and if u think johnson was ok i give up completely

Hang on , Kid .. The ISSUE with PJ was the , .. ANYONE from an English Club ; Undies - The Tram-Car Goalie ... We COULD STALL ... The Foreigners ; Mattarazzi - Dacourt ..

No, he really didn't. Moyes stepped into the same situation and had us hardly out of the top 5 in his first season in charge with the core of the same squad Smith had at hand. He was a disaster. Narrowing the pitch so not to allow his own team or the opposition have the ability to stretch the game was probably all anyone need to know about that feller and his philosophy.

He sat there for 4 years taking his wages and the money he was allowed to cream off from player sales via his dodgy preferred agents and he churned out a brand of soul destroying football never witnessed at GP in its history.

1998-2002 was a black chapter in Everton's history. There's no rehabilitation of his legacy.

We've been run like a whelk stall for years. It's a case of a pox on both their houses as far as I'm concerned. I'm defo not defending the Johnson years...not by a long chalk.

On payment for players: we had to sell the players you named, no question about it. And we did and we survived. It was as simple as that when all the huff and puff is taken out of the equation. For Smith to try and draw a parallel with Rangers and Everton abck then is ridiculous. Under Johnson we had many avenues to go down before admin was reached. You just had to have a man with a brass neck to sell people to get the job done. The only essential difference thing between Johnson and Kenwright is that Kenwright has greater status and PR behind him that allows him to survive long term doing that.
