Quote Simmo71="Simmo71"Everything Smith is doing off the field is admirable - media, recruitment, retention, clearing dead wood, back room staff. Everything we've been asking for years.
But it's not transferring to results on the pitch and more importantly performances. We don't even look like winning.
That's a big problem. How long does it go on?
We have to give him the full season, nothing to be gained by sacking him mid-season as we won't get relegated, but if we finish 8th or lower he will be gone at the end of the year.
Once the fans and potentially players start to turn, there's no way back.

The things you mention at the beginning don’t happen overnight, yes fans might be impatient but quick fixes have got us into this in the first place.
Absolutely pointless letting Smith do the recruitment for next year to sack him at the end of this one.
We will be in the playoffs at the end if the year anyway imo
