Not nearly as weird as wanting the manager of a rival club to win every game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he waited around he would never have got back into management. Don’t agree with that. Eddie Howe gets the Newcastle job, Bruce keeps getting back in. Plenty of lower half of PL teams if they look for a new manager would consider Smith. There isn’t that much about in terms of competition for him at the moment for those type of positions.

A better position will present itself in the future, unless he fancies it back in the Championship. I agree, I think better opportunities will arise if he waits because of the lack currently of competition for him. If decides to take the Norwich job fair play but I think he should wait a little longer for a better opportunity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I think its a good opportunity for him. Its a safe job at a good club. He will be given plenty of time unlike at other lower Premier League clubs. These opportunties dont come along too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lampard backed out because Smith interview went so well. If anything Lampard backed out to save face. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got a stronger squad so we have nothing to worry about . Plus Smith will now have to pick the players he signs all on his own. He won't have the input and data that Purslows team generate to pick players that's are underperforming and offer good value for money. He's got one hell of a hard job in front of him. I think he can do it Bare in mind we have a fantastic manager with a proven ability to dig teams out of trouble and a squad that's being carefully selected by experts.

Smith is a Villa fan and all round nice guy. I hope he has an incredibly successful rest-of-career. * (Assuming OP mentioned “aside from against Villa”) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 As long as we’re away from the relegation zone I’ll be delighted if Smith does a good job at Norwich. Nightmare scenario is they stay up and we go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 The quickest turnaround i can remember from a manager been sacked and getting another job in the PL in what will probably be 8, 9 days when appointed. Fair play to him. His stock hasn’t fallen too much as, clearly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
