Popular Post StefanAVFC Posted November 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Regardless of whether Jack left or not, Smith never worked out how to play without him and it's why he lost his job.

I'm the former, if we'd kept him I think we would be good enough for Smith to still have a job so I think grealish has to be careful about what he says - but then at the same time what he's said doesn't bother me in the slightest Of course him leaving played a part but you can't blame Smith being sacked on that. A better manager (and I loved Smith by the way) would have adapted the team to cope without Jack. Not saying there wouldn't have been a drop off in quality, but not bad enough to be sacked. And again, the players who are still here aren't performing, yet they're getting less blame than a guy who doesn't even play for us anymore. it's strange Edited November 9, 2021 by Stevo985 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshVilla Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Jack jumped ship as things were looking up for us. Smith was sacked because we were trending down under his leadership. That's why the "loyalty should work both ways" argument is invalid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one was bothered about that at all, that was nice. It's the commenting on Gabby post about " loyalty " which is disengenuous, or I'll thought out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recircle Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Yeah, I saw that, but didn't know what to make of it, because the loyalty of a fan and the loyalty of a player (which is more complex/ambiguous) can't be the same sort of loyalty. I didn't think what he said was dumb, just too vaguely articulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if Rice waited until season end before committing to see if they do get CL football. FWIW I think Grealish would have done the same had we been where West Ham are now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham have a several year head start on us and are currently flying in the league more than we've ever been recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Yes we were never in a position to challenge the top 4 plus Rice is 4 years younger so has plenty of time to move on. Right now West Ham are the perfect club for Rice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
