I think he is a very shrewd and bright guy who, in public, plays the game in a very astute way. You're never going to get a NS or WATP out of Smudger in that type of forum. I know a few absolutley solid bears who say he is a total gentleman and in my (very) limited contact with him he always struck me as 'one of us'.
The Craig Whyte thing is a bit odd, he's not daft and probably had a pretty clear idea of where the train was headed, however unless you were there, dealing with a sociopath like Whyte, it is hard to judge.
I hadn't realised he played in Austria or Switzerland or that he spoke, what sounds like, pretty decent German. It is very illuminating that a guy like him: intelligent, travelled, comfortable with fans, players, the media, administrators and in more than one language was chased out of town with as much opprobrium cast as possible while racist chancers like Malky McKay are welcomed with open arms into the halls of power in Scottish football.
Still, anyone but Sellik, isn't that right.
