lexicon Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Blaming Smith for this is just stupid. We were on top and that disgraceful decision just turned the game on its head. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 The problem is that Smith does not have the players working for him and the club. If your players are not willing to run through brick walls for their manager then to me it means he has no control over the dressing room. This is why he has to go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see to me that says whoever has been in charge over recruitment has to go. We also spent £127 million on utter shite like Wes, Trez and what not. Doesn't matter what manager you got when you recruit hamsters for a dog race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 When you've got Grealish, McGinn and Mings playing like that, what is he meant to do? Who can he switch for them and win Premier League games? As I've said many many times, he's made loads of mistakes and probably isn't good enough. But he's had no chance with these players. He's in a battle to keep his job for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that an excuse for completely downing tools? It’s the managers job to motivate the team and we’ve barely tried this half. Going down with a whimper.

The players at the club are nowhere near the standard needed to stay in the premier league. I genuinely don’t think they can achieve much more than what they’re showing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry might give them some bite for 4 games , nothing to lose now we are down . Yeah no chance we stay up playing like this, but a win on Sunday and we're only a point behind 16th. I'd nearly sack Smith and invite him back if we do get relegated, strange as that sounds. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Head of recruitment will get sacked, Purslow probably too being honest and they can’t complain. That leaves Dean and I can see the owners wanting a new clean start as this project has completely failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Suso has to go too and I’ve been vocal about him when he first joined. Smith to me shows that he is does not have what it takes to be a top level manager. He doesn’t act like he deserves to be in this league to me he is just happy to be in this situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Bear Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 The problem we have is that if he stays on and gets us promoted again, we will have him as a PL manager in a years time. There is nothing to suggest it will be any different. So based on that logic, he has to be sacked as soon as the season is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Our set pieces are the absolute worst in the league. It’s embarrassing. Dean has done nothing to address this since day one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way it’ll be different if we’re back in the premier league is if we have a squad capable of competing at that level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
