Sideshow Tim 110 Posted November 12, 2021 9 minutes ago, Coneys Knee said: Not wrong at all you plonker, we’d all love world peace wouldn’t we? But we’ve no idea how to achieve it. wtf am I expecting? Since you asked so eloquently, I was expecting (and still hoping for) Webber to have found us an upgrade on Farke. Somebody that can continue the philosophy, in the same vein as the previous regime, somebody, importantly, whose career path is following an upward trajectory. Somebody who would unite, inspire and rejuvenate us fans. Somebody who hasn’t only got a marginally better track record than the guy we just ousted despite having resources at his disposal that we could only dream of. Respectfully, please try to make your case without being rude, what are you expecting? Calling me a plonker in your first sentence is very respectful, isn't it, but is certainly very rude! ? So maybe you shouldn't be so hypocritical and follow your own advice! Daniel Farke's time was up at City and I'm sure Webber had a plan (and maybe still has?) but we are not in a position where we can pick and choose who is our new Coach. If Smith is our best option then so be it, but those that just dispose of the idea with no solutions just craze the hell out of me. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,753 Posted November 12, 2021 Whatever our view is of Smith, we have to admire his desire to get straight back on the horse if he takes it...he obviously wants to work when it would be easy for him to take a bit of time out. He'll at least be fully up to speed with opposition players, tactics etc etc in this league 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coneys Knee 953 Posted November 12, 2021 I firmly believe this isn’t happening anyway. Talk sport and Sky between them are just enjoying a continuation of winding us up by putting this rubbish out there. I'm confident Webber will deliver and we’ll all (most of us), be happy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thebigfeller 200 Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) 12 minutes ago, Indy said: Back to how much he spent, in two seasons it was 180 million, if that’s you’re standard to say he’s done better than Farke then I think you need a stiff drink! He's certainly done better than Farke in the Premier League. Managers are not 'highly respected' when they take half a point a game at that level for almost 50 matches. Oh - and Smith wasn't sacked because Villa looked like going down or something. He was sacked because Villa want top 6/top 8 now. In other words, he couldn't take them to some exalted new level, but was plenty good enough to keep them safe and sound in the division. Even this season, despite Villa being crap, he got double the points tally of someone many on here are now demanding we bring back!

Mullet 293 Posted November 12, 2021 We don't even know if Smith is the new coach but if he is, we do know one thing with certainty. He absolutely cannot be a worse premier league manager for us than DF was. We are absolutely rock bottom in all respects at the moment. The players look a shambles and we are looking like the worst team in the history of the Premier league. NCFC in the Premier league under Farke were a shambles and national joke, under a new coach whoever he may be we cannot be any worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
