Especially when had the shortest summer transfer window of any promoted team ever Exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most newly promoted clubs don't turn on their manager before the season ends. Its just classic us. They normally just sack them and try and get the new manager bounce. Sacking him for the right person to take us forward long term i.e Southampton when they did the dirty and bought poch in, is beneficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its a shame and I'm fed up of the negativity towards smith on here, that's about it. You told everyone that doesn't agree with you to get a grip, that is a strange comment in itself. We've both been on here for years, I got no beef with you. Let's just leave it there my friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he lie for? because he would be an asshole to tell a new signing he has no idea who they are or what the skills are. Its called man management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I will say this once more do people really think the recruitment is solely down to Suso and poor old Smith has been lumbered with some potentially very good players he had no say over ? Purslow has explained the set up, Smith will tell the board what he needs and what type of player he wants and has power to veto any suggestions. He even bloody went to scout Trez at AFCON ffs . they are being poorly used by an inept coach simples ... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very short sighted view. Straight up, you think we'll get anything from United, Liverpool and arsenal ? Be honest please. I think we'll lose all 3 games. So being as equally crap and underperforming as Bournemouth and West Ham are right now and celebrating a point against a team who mentally are on a beach in marbella, isn't good enough. We needed to win this. Staying close to them is no good. We'll lose more of what we've left than we'll win. So ultimately.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you eventually see Dean Smith winning the league title? They are. As I said above, get a grip was wrong. But we've gained a point on west ham and showed some fight getting something from the game in the end. To then hear the same cries for him to be sacked is just daft to me. No. I don't think any manager we hire will ever win the league with us. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm referencing the fact that the manager was doing ok but the board bought someone better in. If someone better than Smith is available then he should be bought in at anytime if that makes sense.

penguin Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) So the pro-Smith argument can basically be boiled down to: Ignore everything you’ve seen including the glaring and repeated deficiencies and just look at our points total?

Ah that is a statement that I can agree with, I'm not saying that it's not hasty to call for his head. Surely though you have to understand people's emotions. I myself would rather stick with Smith than make a rushed change just for the sake of it. I do feel he is letting himself and us down though.
