The Real Buh 3,765 Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) It’s not even that he’s a bad manager, he probably isnt If you want to do anything with this club you need an injection of passion. He’s sat on the touch line looking like the fat controller. Nothing will change under him on the pitch. Go and get Paul Warne. Just my opinion.

He was bought in to keep us up and the results have been awful and hes stripped away our identity. What more damage do you want him to do? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, although don't know enough about Warne's managerial style beyond "supports norwich", on which grounds, I might apply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rock bus 1,059 Posted May 8, 2022 He’s arguably now performing worse than Farke. As a club we are in a total mess, I can’t quite comprehend how it has gone so wrong so quick. could be a very difficult few years coming up 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alex_ncfc 686 Posted May 8, 2022 Dean Smith doesn't fit at the club. It's just not right, and it's not working. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JB 138 Posted May 8, 2022 Although I agree that Smith has not injected anything into these players and is clearly not a great manager, the failure is 100% down to those players being incapable and simply can't have anything injected into them, so not Smith's fault. Blame the recruitment and ownership. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dylanisabaddog 6,133 Posted May 8, 2022 The reasons to support the appointment of Paul Warne are passion and commitment. Other than Roeder, Dean Smith is the most uninspiring manager I can remember. He is completely out of his depth. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barry Brockes 157 Posted May 8, 2022 As Smith has just moved into a house in the area presumably having been tipped the wink that he'll be here at the start of next season he ain't going nowhere! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,615 Posted May 8, 2022 Paul Warne may be a Norwich fan, but I can't see him ever being anything more than a solid lower league manager. I'm apathetic towards Smith; if he decides to walk then I wouldn't try to stop him, but I wouldn't sack him. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't turn us into Watfod, now jog off and regognise that it's not the manager but the players that need sacking Seriously how many times have you said recently “don’t turn us into Watford”? I don’t think Smith was the correct choice but I don’t think there’s any sense in sacking him, but just so you are aware, sacking a manager doesn’t turn teams “into Watford”. Sometimes managers last a long time and sometimes a short time but sacking two quickly wouldn’t make us them you know. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes managers last a long time and sometimes a short time but sacking two quickly wouldn’t make us them you know. i agree some managers stay 3/4 years some stay 6 months if it is not working then we must change things what worries me most is we were told a DOF would allow us to change manager if he left for what ever reason and another could easily slot in with the same style that the players were used to etc seems Webber F.......... That up just like the summer signings we have ripped up all the good work Farke did instead of improving it 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petriix 3,218 Posted May 8, 2022 There's an unfortunate difference between sacking Smith and never having appointed him in the first place. There's a reason why, in our 120 year history, we've had our two most successful seasons in the past four years. Webber is an architect of change when what we needed was continuity. You sadly can't recreate continuity with further change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
