I also agree with paul. One thing everyone agrees on is that we've suffered from a lack of continuity over the past ten years, yet at the first sign of anything going wrong we want to rip it up and start again.

Which is the one thing I was trying to say all along while Bruce was here. Obviously, it got to the point where you think let's try something else (after the play off final in Bruce's case) but people on here wanted Smith gone not long after he joined and earlier this season and I don't get that.
Continuity is obviously preferable, but it’s only worth sticking with a manager for a long period of time if you’ve got the right one. Dean Smith isn’t the right manager to be giving time to

The league apart (and some very dodgy performances), I think promotion and a Cup Final is not bad going bearing in mind the length of time he has been here. Mind you, promotion was all down to Grealish obviously. (rolls eyes).

I don’t see how this can be disputed in view of the league position before his return led to 10 straight wins.

It's only worth having continuity if the manager is worth sticking with. The Premier League is littered with the corpses of the careers of decent Championship managers who have then gone on to be less than great in the Premier League.
