Newtopia 517 Posted November 25, 2021 I have not seen anything mentioned - I believe Dean Smith has been appointed as Manager of the club, opposed to Daniel who was first team (head)Â coach. Â I always thought that subtle difference was to divide up responsibilities and allow someone to focus on the team and the individuals in that squad, whilst the sporting director looked after the recruitment and facilities. Â Whilst the manager did it all, and was supported by a team of people he appointed. Â What are we doing now? Â How have things changed? Â Anyone know?

Nora's Ghost 157 Posted November 25, 2021 I reckon Smith will do what Farke couldn't and prove that his signings were/are good. That's my hope anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think its been documented that he has a keen interest in F1 (something that has influenced how he does things with regards to high standards about Colney) as well as a personal mission to climb Everest for charity. Those would be the two things I could see him potentially leaving us for; a Charity mission or a position within an F1 team as some form of culture director etc.  He hasn't gotten everything right, but on our budget who in football could? More hits than misses and frankly at this time a bit of stability is exactly what we need. He proves himself to our benefit, lets keep our fingers crossed for success.

Capt. Pants 4,234 Posted November 26, 2021 I think he's also done a bit of a u-turn in deciding to stay on, so I wouldn't pay much regard to what he may or may not do in the future. It's great news he is staying though, as he's fundamental to how our club operates on and off the pitch. I've got a sneaky suspicion he may stick around to oversee some big changes in the not so distant future, and I can see his role evolving way beyond the football side.
