ps. Isn't this precisely what Farke did here? Cheap players and kids, made them work hard, motivated and improved them?

I get what you saying my opinion was the same as a professional I the game not saying we are right just our thoughts , Farke had a big say that’s why the Germans came ! Also farke was youth coach at a massive club

Webber out, followed by Dean Smith

[AJ 1,224]

I've seen nothing from Smith to suggest he can raise the level of our players. Farke was incredible at it. How is Smith a step forwards whatsoever? We wasted so much money sacking Farke for effectively no reason. We've gone backwards

100% work hard, motivated and show some passion.... currently there Is none. When we counter, you see our fullbacks or wingers jogging until their defence and midfield regroups!??

He's failed already. You can't come back from this. I've been waiting but today I'm now wanting Smith out the club this is dreadful

Exactly how I feel

[alex_ncfc 662]

Get this knee-jerk fraud of a managerial appointment out of the club. 

He doesn't fit at NCFC and never has. Could see it from his first few weeks here.

This has to be the end , this continuation from last season can’t go on

Totally agree but that should be minimum that’s expected 

I don’t think the players respect smith 

if they respect the manager like farke lambert they are motivated to play and want to be part of the team and give everything 

As a coach you don’t have to tell pukki how to score he knows more about goal scoring than most managers / coaches

I was talking to someone high up in the game last night and I am a personal old friend of Paul he said it would be a bad idea 

I don’t think he would do well here either

no experience of buying better players etc 

his main strength is buying very cheap players and making them work and motivated he will do well at a smaller club 

but not a club this size 

We wouldn’t have employed Alex Neil if we followed your thinking, I’ve seen people mention Mark Robins as a potential future manager, but he hasn’t ever had a big playing budget either. Thomas Frank was Dean Smiths assistant at Brentford, but before they got promoted to the Premier League they didn’t have a big playing budget. It’s a gamble whoever you employ as a manager, bigger teams than us have made mistakes employing certain managers, I just think it’s a bit short sighted, if you don’t employ a manager because they’ve never had millions to spend on player’s.

^ This, although in either order or simultaneously would also work fine for me.

True about money but franks was a international youth coach 

Alex Neil was very good I admit no good when we had money but I admit he was good in champs 

I think a foreign coach is the best route 

fresh ideas fresh style 

smith reminds me of English old school and no blueprint of style

I agree with you, Smith does remind me of an old school manager, maybe the foreign route is the way to go. I guess time will tell.

Just feel all the hundreds of managers coaches in world football and people say warne because he is a fan of club robins and Martin as ex players 

Let’s look world wide italian youth coach a good coach at a German club etc 

I am sure someone with a good blueprint / beliefs out there like farke was when he came in 

[First Wazzock 902]

Lose on Tuesday and he should be gone

[kirku 1,334]

He's got to go.

I was against Farke going on the basis that I didn't see any evidence that it was his fault that Webber wasted the biggest transfer budget in our history. I actually, and clearly wrongly, thought that we could be stronger by using the Emi money across the squad.

I didn't think Smith was right then, as a knee jerk reaction by a man desperate to salvage his reputation, and I've seen nothing since to change my mind.

[Michael Starr 519]

Anything less than a convincing win on Tuesday and Smith should be out

Get Knutsen in. We've decided to go with the 4-3-3 getting Sara, Nunez and Hayden in. KK plays a 4-3-3. Do it now Webber

I wasn’t going by the fact that he’s a Norwich fan, I just like his attacking style of football.

When I started this post I meant it but really hoped I’d end up with egg on my face.

 If smith isn’t gone by end of tonight then we are just a joke of a club

433 is a fvvcking abomination with this squad. It just does not work.

Not that it means anything but he comes across exceptionally well on that Moment of Truth podcast.

Should have been the man we approached last season when we sacked Farke. I just wonder if he was the preferred option when Webber sacked Farke but when Smith became available he was seen as the safe appointment
