Christian Purslow - Resigned

[Demitri_C]

When all said and done with 4 defeats in a row and conceding 3+ goals 3 games in a row the fact remains that Grealish was pulled out from Deans system with out much clear planning
That has been an almighty blow
Yet Purslow spins the ambition line and a yarn. The buy out clauses never did Smith any favours and he's the one having to suffer
Purslow planning has to take some responsibility for this

Its not fair for Dean to solely be accountable. Yet he will the one ultimately suffer

Purslow doesnt play ashley young in  central midfield or 5 at the back continuously even though its been a epic failure.

So it does fall on smith

Time to release another update Mr Purslow. All gone very quiet lately

What on earth do you want him to say?  Until they've made a decision on Smith there's nothing they can say really.

He could just give us a general update. What's be been up to, is he going anywhere nice for his holidays, opinions on the recent insurgency in Sudan, that kind of thing.

Sick of him keeping us in the dark. It's a DISGRACE.

There are 19 teams out of 20 that don’t have Grealish in them. We need to stop using it as an excuse. We’re currently 15th out of those 20 teams, have shipped 7 goals in 2 games and lost our last four.

The excuses are silly. Gregory had to find a way without Yorke, MON had to find a way without Barry, all managers have to deal with injuries and players sales. I do feel Dean has been unlucky this year but I feel he has been lucky in the past- having Grealish in the first place, the timing of Covid, Watkins getting through last season with no injuries. It evens itself out and I just think there are big question marks right now.

Rumours whirling around that we have approached other managers informally, this really is not good for Dean Smith and a team already low on confidence , either come out and back him or make the changes now!

Good points

So announce a new manager before we’ve approached a new manager? You’re upside down.

Dear Supporters,

We knew replacing Dean would be impossible, so we have decided to replace him with 3 managers ....

Lamphard, Terry and Gerrard? Are those the three replacements managers?

The names some put forward demonstrate such a meek acceptance of lower midtable that you wonder why they would want Smith out at all.

there's not a great deal of proven quality available

[KRS]

They’ll need to get someone who isn’t technically “available” then.
