I don’t think chopping and changing manager is going to help If I need repairs doing in the house, I don't stick with a guy who's not getting the job done, I'll keep trying until I find the right one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 20 minutes ago, Jareth said: I don't think Smith is the problem, I think it's the quality of player we have brought in. That we had to resort to Drinkwater last window showed just where we were in the market and the recruitment has not been good enough for this level. But surely a manager, with confidence in his own ability, would not have allowed players to come in, that he thought he couldn't do anything with. signing players, is probably one of the most single crucial thing a manager has to get right......If he has just let them ride roughshod over him and just bring them in, then he his the wrong manager anyway. The manager has to be strong with the players, strong with the club in his view on recruitment and decisive and explicit when explaining to fans where we are going. I see a very affable and passive man......I'm sorry. we need a strong leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PussEKatt Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 OK,so Smith got us promoted ( I personally think that Jack did that ) but never mind.Lets look at where we are now ( not last season, now ) DS is a hero because he got us promoted LAST season.This season he has had 28 games ( 3/4 of a whole season ) and what has he achieved,? 19th with a very bad win record and the worst defence in the Pl for about 30 years.So, if we keep him what are we looking at ? year after year,season after season of fighting to stay up.Just look at our season now.he has already proved what he is capable of,he has already proved what he can do and shown us what he cant do. He must go and the sooner the better for all concerned including DS as he could get another job in a division that is better suited to his skills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted March 15, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 15, 2020 Corona is our only hope to stay up. If it saves us, let us use our luck wisely. Smith was not the answer, we know that by now. We need someone better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham t Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 It is a difficult proposition to imagine who this board might pick. They are the ones who gave Dean a contract extension after winning one game.....There is no doubting their business acumen but it is obvious that they haven't got a clue regarding running a successful football club.....I suppose they will get fed up with failure soon and disappear like Lerner did ( eventually). It would appear that finding the right owners is just as difficult as finding the 'right manager'. Regards, VLD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I guarantee if the season is voided, Smith will still be at the helm next season and I, for one, will be delighted. This season's struggles will hopefully be a lesson learnt. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
