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 blowYet Purslow spins the ambition line and a yarn. The buy out clauses never did Smith any favours and he's the one having to sufferPurslow planning has to take some responsibility for thisIts not fair for Dean to solely be accountable. Yet he will the one ultimately suffer

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

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