Nothing against smith or the club press officer, sure every club's is the same, i just find them **** boring Think that's a bit harsh on Smith - he's been much more open about how we play and our weaknesses than previous managers. Press conferences at United when Mourinho was there were like something from a dictatorship. You could imagine journalists being dragged out and beaten by the MUFC press staff for asking a question that was even slightly probing....

screwdriver Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Absolutley shocked after watching that! Smith deflecting talk about the crisis we're in by picking the england squad for Southgate and talking about tammy abraham's troubles on social media. This is must win for Smith or the mutterings of discontent will turn into screams, especially with the likes of mourhinio currently between jobs. Totten - unhappy campspurs and FC long hair girl heading a football should have been low hanging fruit, instead we're the laughing stock of the premier league after spunking 120m on a bunch of green bananna's.

Tip top sparkling wit on display there but surely you must have been a mite disappointed with the loss to Bournemouth? You don’t get long to learn theses lessons in the premier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted August 22, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2019 ...Poor trolling. Anywho... How long until Smith is under pressure you wonder? He should be fairly safe for quite a while but once the crowd turns, it turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are in with a chance of 17th then he should be backed. Sadly, the expectations some start to have I can't see it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be fairly safe for quite a while but once the crowd turns, it turns. You're right about the crowd. If we get to the end of West Ham which is 5 league games with 0 points the home fans won't have seen much in the way of results. If we play like we did against Bournemouth every game though I think it'll be more like 10+ games until crowd start to go. Can't argue with industry like that. It'll take some real smelly stuff for him to be under real pressure of the sack I think. Bottom 3 when we hit Jan and poor performances aplenty for any hint. They've just stuck a big picture of him on the side of the stadium. I think Purslow finds him professional to deal with, doesn't stray from his head coach lane.

villalad21 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Only reason to sack him and this is the case for any manager is if he loses the dressing room and the players are not "playing" for him. That being said it would take a lot for that to happen. Smith is very well respected within the player group, Terry as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference with Deano though is that, if he ‘loses the dressing room’, I’d rather sack the players than the manager. Dean stays for the long run in my view.
