Who was worse, Mike Walker or Walter Smith?

[steele]

Walker, he ruined everything that Kendall and Harvey built

 

[davek]

Smith.

He was the anti-Christ.

I don't think there's been many darker periods in the club's history.

The terrible negative football, the dire boot camp feel about the relationship between players and manager, the use of all his arl arses he brought in to shore him and Knox up, the murky Smith/Roach combination that had the definite whiff of payola about it.

A disgusting regime. Walker was short lived and almost funny. Smith was sinister and dark. No competition. The ugly Smith era was easily worse than the Walker 'period'.

Walker was dreadful. The worst manager since i have been a blue that's for sure. He was at the helm when i was in 6th form or just finishing school. Many a ripping that year because of that nobhead.

getting smashed 5 -1 away to Sheffield Wednesday i will never forget. Then those first 12 or 13 games at the start of the 94/95 were as bad as i have ever seen. Deeply deeply depressing and embarrassing stuff. Walter Smith was a genius compared to Walker. The period that Walker was here was absolutely shocking.

Walker was a blink of an eye -10 months. Smith was 4 years hard labour. No comparison.

Smith spend a decent amount of money and couldn't get a team to play well. Maybe because he was a clueless dinosaur.




"Olivier Dacourt gave an interview to a French soccer magazine during which he said:
*** **’Mr Smith told me to go out and foul players. When I asked him about yellow and red cards the gaffer replied; “you don’t worry about yellow and red cards, I’ll worry about red and yellow cards”‘.*"

hahah never heard of this before. loved dacourt - that's either a brilliant excuse for his disciplinary record or terrible management.

That's like saying walker was a like heart attack & smith was like being on the waiting list for a transplant.

Both were bloody awful - no matter how long they were here.

Dave other people are allowed an opinion. Everything you say doesn't have to be gospel truth or nailed on fact.
Walker in my opinion.

I hated watching us when they managed, but I agree about the comment made on Dacourt and Materazzi! With a better manager, they could have been the foundation on which the team was built! Having said that I loved Joe Parkinson, so no, now I think about it they were both visionaries, leave them alone you swines!

So, Walker was better than Smith because he got sacked five times as quick? What?

Smith was dire as well but we were half-stable for three of his four seasons. We were constantly imperiled under Walker. No comparison.

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

Walker by a long, long, LONG way! The man was beyond crap. Smith was awful but he would have to take six or seven blows to the head to get close to being as stupid as Mike Walker. Even now after all this time i still fume when that idiots name is mentioned.

Walker 17% win percentage
Smith 32% win percentage

Walker managed to win just 6 games in his 10 months in charge. The Smith years were grim but i felt with Smith, it was always him going against the grain, always an uphill battle. The false promises, the lies, the selling of players behind his back, the selling of our top players just to balance the books.

Walker was so bad that he didn't even know how to conduct a training session properly.

No, it's Smith.
