Premiership: Gascoigne 'disappointed' at Smith sacking

Everton midfielder Paul Gascoigne was this morning coming to terms with the departure of the latest man to offer him a chance to revive his career.

The 34-year-old former England star was training when Everton confirmed that Walter Smith had been sacked.

Gascoigne’s agent Ian Elliott said: ‘‘He’s obviously disappointed. He’s big friends with Walter.

‘‘But it’s something that he can have no influence over.’’
